Leadership Comments

“Traditional hearing aids have existed for 70 years, but the cost, discomfort, and stigma turn away so many people who could really benefit from them. We wanted to turn a hard-to-swallow medical device into a product people are actually excited to wear, "said Mehul Trivedi, CEO and Co-Founder of Legato.

“The hearing aid industry has spent decades optimizing for invisibility, making devices smaller so people won’t notice them. Legato flips that logic. The path to adoption isn’t to make hearing assistance disappear; it’s to make it a style choice, said Kittu Kolluri, Founder and Managing Director at Neotribe Ventures.
