We raised a $13M Series A – here’s what’s next for Ready Player MeIt’s been a crazy year for Ready Player Me. Back in January, we had just 25 companies using our avatar system in their apps and games. Today, there are more than 1000.
We're excited to announce a $13M Series A funding round led by Taavet+Sten, the co-founders of Wise and Teleport, with participation from Tom Preston-Werner, the co-founder of GitHub, Samsung Next, NordicNinja and Konvoy Ventures, among many others.
The metaverse is not a single app or a game – it's a network of thousands of virtual worlds people visit to play, work, and collaborate. It makes no sense for users to create a new avatar for each game and experience. Your avatar should be able to travel with you across the metaverse.
It also makes no sense for each virtual world to build their own avatar system. We spent 7 years building the best avatars, so you don't have to.
We couldn't be more excited to have this incredible list of investors to join us on the journey of making Ready Player Me the default identity system for the metaverse.
