Their HEROneural network system simulates the human auditory system in order to track sounds in a noisy background, based on the assumption that the human system has evolved to be good at this. HERO is a server-based system with any number of applications. To date the company has based two systems on HERO, one for identifying pitch which can transcribe music from noisy recordings, and another for speech recognition.

Everett was crestfallen, but while in his hotel he started work on a new idea to use Lagrange multipliers for optimization that would later lead to financial success.
He also opened MonowaveCorporation with several DBS and family friends.
Currently, of the companies Everett founded, only MonowaveCorporation still exists (now in Seattle) and is still run by Elaine Tsiang.
