Metaverse Experience Platforms?

VRChat is a VR social platform where users can join virtual spaces that can be personalized with custom-built spaces, avatars, events, hangouts, etc. It is available on SteamVR and Meta Quest headsets with support for non-VR modes as well. Creators can also build virtual worlds that can be uploaded via the VRChat SDK and sold on the platform’s marketplace to other platform users. In November 2023, the company launched ‘Paid Subscriptions’ in beta, which allows VRChat players to purchase in-game credits with fiat currency that can subsequently be spent to purchase subscriber-only content. The company will keep 20% of revenue generated via these subscriptions

In June 2024, VRChat laid off ~30% of its staff due to slower-than-expected growth in the VR market and the company's over-hiring in 2021. Despite this, the company noted that it was in a sound financial position and would focus on capital efficiency given a dampened fundraising environment.

Key customers and partnerships

As of June 2021, the company reported 40,000 concurrent users, up from 24,000 in November 2020, with the majority (52%) being VR users. It was the most active VR application on the digital distribution service Steam. The platform reported more than 25,000 community-created worlds as of February 2022.
