It took a lot of patience and effort not to write about my latest company, MixRift.
The company started with a message from David in December 2023: “Did you ever play Mixed Reality games?”
Less than a month later, we had a vision, a co-founders team that also included Andrei, and I started the long process of raising money for the new company. I say long because the last time I did this, in 2012, it took me almost a year.
This time, though, it took us just 7 weeks to get the deal done. Yeah, it took a few more weeks to finally have the money in the bank, but we had the deal in place by the end of February of 2024.
I want us to try to find the “native mechanic” for this Mixed Reality gaming space. Like Gorilla Tag is for VR or like Angry Birds and Candy Crush were for mobile.
We already have two games in the Meta Quest store: Fractured and Hell Horde (early access). Fractured is also available on the Apple Vision Pro store.
