Company Overview
This is a VC-backed spinout from a £50m+ revenue parent business, born out of a highly successful virtual events service developed during the pandemic. The original model paired high-end live video production with a managed virtual platform, used by senior executives and FTSE-level sponsors for industry roundtables.
The goal now is to take that model-traditionally powered by a live production crew-and turn it into a lower-cost, scalable SaaS platform using real-time AI, 3D graphics (Unreal Engine), and automation. The MVP is nearly ready and the platform is now hiring key engineers to help take it to the next stage.
