phorus is building PlayCast, a platform-independent wireless home audio solution that integrates smartphones, tablets, PCs and intelligent speakers. The company targets users who rely on mobile devices and PCs as primary music sources, emphasizing compatibility across operating systems including Android and Windows. phorus says it has several patent-pending advances that will distinguish its approach from existing wireless home audio offerings. The firm plans to productize the technology and ultimately license and sell it through major manufacturers, retailers, and device makers globally. phorus announced it raised $2 million in a Series A to support productization of its technology. The senior management team is led by founder and CEO Dannie Lau and CFO Sharon Graves, both with prior experience at PhatNoise and Harman International.
