Visionary VR raises $6m in Series A
“Today, only expert-level developers can create VR stories, we're going to change that”
Visionary VR is the latest company to make the most of the excitement of virtual reality, raising $6 million in Series A funding in a round led by DFJ Venture.
"Today, only expert-level developers can create VR stories," said CEO Gil Baron in a statemeant.
"We're going to change that."
Visionary VR is focused on storytelling in VR and creating software to make the process easier for others in the space. So far the company has been keeping its work close to its chest, but has recently been showing the first piece of content created using its Visionary Focus tech: a David & Goliath short experience.
"Given Visionary VR's insights into how storytelling is going to be redefined by virtual reality in the future, this company is aligned with DFJ's long history of investing in disruptive technologies," added DFJ Ventures Bubba Murarka.
Murarka will also join Visionary VR's board of directors.
"Even after seeing hundreds of VR demos and even creating our own VR app at DFJ, experiencing Visionary VR's product left our team slack-jawed. It is that impressive."
