Jeremy Chow is the founder of Tactus, where he has designed and developed a wearable device that translates music into vibrations, making music more inclusive and accessible for the Deaf community. What began in Boston has since grown into a global venture, with active involvement in innovation ecosystems across Tokyo and Hong Kong. His passion for music, design, and human connection drives his mission to make sensory experiences more inclusive for everyone.

During this episode, we discuss:

• Jeremy’s path from mechanical engineering student at Northeastern University to founder of Tactus
• How a chance meeting with a professor sparked the original design for Tactus
• The organic growth of Tactus through the deaf community in Boston
• Why building directly with the deaf community shaped key design pivots, including moving away from a bulky harness-style vest
• Jeremy’s advice for founders on incorporating community feedback early, even when a product feels unfinished
• His experience transitioning Tactus from a side project to a full-time venture, and advice for others building a business on the side

And more. Tune into this episode as we dive into all things accessible music!
