Imagine fighting a fire without water, foam, or chemicals—just the power of sound. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi flick, right?

Viet Tran and Seth Robertson, both seniors at the time, built a device that uses low-frequency sound waves to extinguish flames. Their invention, dubbed the “Wave Extinguisher,” caught the world’s attention and sparked a wave of research into acoustic fire supp

Co-founder exiting after pivot – what's a fair exit package?
