The VRChat team is excited to announce that we have closed a $10m Series C investment round. This latest financing includes new investor Makers Fund, alongside existing investors HTC, Brightstone VC and GFR Fund. We welcome Makers Fund and are proud to have them on board!

“Our goal is to connect people and enable them to interact as if they were in the same room. Any kind of social experience you could want should exist, and if it doesn’t, somebody should be able to create it. Makers Fund has deep experience with these types of platforms and will help VRChat move towards its goal.” -Graham Gaylor, CEO

This Series C investment will allow us to expand the VRChat team and continue growing our platform and community. Partners like Makers Fund and HTC open unique opportunities to help us further our goal as a virtual universe.

“Graham, Jesse and Ron have a bold vision to enable and empower diverse communities through limitless virtual identities and experiences. We see great potential here and are very excited to partner with the VRChat team on this journey” - Jay Chi, Founding Partner of Makers Fund “VRChat has cracked the code of creating engaging social experiences in VR. We are excited to continue working closely with VRChat as they help people connect with each other and the communities they love the most in VR.” - Rikard Steiber, President Viveport and SVP VR at HTC

What is VRChat?

VRChat is an ever-expanding virtual universe powered by a passionate community.

Using Unity and our SDK, creators can build avatars or worlds and upload them to share with others. This open-ended creativity and the dynamics of sharing in an active social environment power VRChat. It has led to a never-ending fountain of entertaining, surprising and wonderful experiences.

Although VRChat supports all leading PC VR headsets and many VR accessories, a VR headset is not required to participate. All that’s needed is a PC that meets the minimum requirements for our platform. For those wishing to try VRChat without a gaming PC, VRChat is available on the Oculus Quest, and will be available on more platforms in the future.

“It is a very common story for people to join VRChat without a VR headset, have a memorable adventure, and immediately seek out virtual reality hardware to upgrade their experience.” - Jesse Joudrey, CTO

Our Growing Community

VRChat enables everyone to connect with friends and make new ones from around the globe. They hang out, play interactive games, find awe-inspiring worlds, and share their experiences with others. People often find lasting friendships and communities stemming from their time in VRChat. That time is often hours per session, multiple times per week — many people have logged thousands of hours.

VRChat communities have grown in and outside of the application, to all corners of the internet, including streaming, communication, and fund-raising platforms. These interconnected communities support our users, from popular performers to creators and groups.

A VRChat “IRL” meetup

“I’ve met many of our community in VR and the real world. They often explain to me how much VRChat means to them or has changed their life in some positive way. They passionately share their feature requests and issues. Their dedication has been a constant source of inspiration for me and our entire team.” - Ron Millar, CCO

VRChat’s presence is not limited to the virtual world! Our community has grown so much that VRChat meet-ups are commonplace and people recognize our T-shirts in the real world.

Creation Tools

VRChat creators have the unique opportunity to create shared virtual content with industry-standard tools like Unity, Blender, Maya, or any other 3D authoring software. After creating their world or avatar, they use the VRChat SDK to upload it into VRChat and share their creations with the world. Many VRChat users have learned how to use these tools from scratch in order to make their ideas reality.
