We've tried building for consumer VR back in 2017 and it was incredibly difficult. Jack does a great breakdown on why today is the time to build ARVR, and I couldn't agree more.

In 2016, we've made a non-intuitive bet that in-person social VR experiences can be incredibly fun and, for multiple reasons, can only scale meaningfully outside of home. It was tough, especially as a venture-backed startup: we had to invent our own technology, build our own…
Deadwood Valley just crossed $40M in sales, likely making it one of the best selling VR games of all time and a first for a location-based title. We're just getting started.
When founders asked me what startup books to recommend, I tell them to just read and reread Hard Things from time to time. Thanks for putting this gem out there @bhorowitz

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated” ~ARVR
We believe ARVR is among the most underrated markets today. Most people fixate on past (and current) missteps, leading to assumptions that are simply wrong. With ~30m Meta Quest headsets sold and a favorable industry outlook, we think the time is now. ⬇️
great analysis on why everyone is sleeping on ar/vr with generative ai and better hardware we will see even more acceleration in the next few years

As a founder you should never take constructive feedback too harshly from your peers. The market is more brutal than your peers will ever be. You can work on something for 10 years, make a clear explanation on how to use it and get a 1 star reviews that simply say “trash”.
@yacineMTB No better motivator than having your immigrant mom tell you you're a failure and should get a real job every day ngl
Got this surprise in the mail today - never thought I’d be next to @ronnychieng or @danieldaekim but here I am as a card. SUPER honored to be included with @PlayRunLegends in the @aapi_heroes project and love what they’re doing for highlighting AAPI pioneers and history makers!
@TurnerNovak @zhaosaurus @SandboxVR Had a great team event at your SF location a few months ago. Good luck with expansion/franchising!
With the acceleration of AI, tangible commodities such as real estate that are hard to substitute, are becoming even more valuable. Plus the incredible experience of Sandbox itself, the prospect of franchising is very exciting.
I’m excited to announce @SandboxVR is now available for franchising across the United States. Historically, franchise business in the standalone entertainment space hasn’t been as compelling due to low revenue and limited market validation. I believe we’ve changed that. Today,…
