Description

If you’re a founder, you’re probably used to Investors asking all the questions. But in this session we want to flip things around and give the power to the founders. We’ve invited 4 investors who all focus on investing in AR/VR, Spatial Computing and the Metaverse. They will have 2 minutes to pitch their own funds and the areas they’re interested in and then it’s over to you. Want their opinion on the startup you're building? Curious to get their hot take on a specific use case or opportunity? Wondering if they’re tired of defining what the Metaverse means to them? It’s up to you to ask.
