Chapters

Our first institutional customer. I had never seen their face. We met 100% in VR before we closed them. Same thing with there are a bunch of investors that we have who I've never seen face to face. But I think that there's something about the medium where it neutralizes unconscious bias and allows people who otherwise would not necessarily be having those kind of charitable, synchronous, embodied interactions to do it. And so it can be connective in ways that we've never seen before. So it allows you to get the advantages of presence and embodiment without the drawbacks of unconscious bias, bias of some people feeling unsafe, sort of those things that can be a disadvantage in sort of reality itself.
