Mirage Secures US$1.4M Pre-Seed Funding
Summary
The round was co-led by Aglaé Ventures and Delphi Digital, with participation from Palm Tree Crew, Cozomo de Medici, G Money, Will Price, Rahilla Zafar, Cooper Turley, Jon Itzler, and Chase Chapman. The company intends to use the funds to hire technical talent, further develop the platform, and launch a generally available product in the new year. Mirage is building the baseline AR infrastructure and artist tooling for creators to build and curate their own decentralized transdigital reality between physical and digital worlds. In October, 25, Mirage launched its app in Beta through original AR artworks by notable digital artists Jack Warne, Feltzine, Chloe Karyannis, Fiigmnt (CTO & Co-founder Mirage) and Shl0ms, which have been dropped into Brooklyn’s Prospect Park–seeding AR visuals into this new transdigital world. The company plans to take part in its first public augmented reality (AR) event during NEAR’s Art without Limits showcase (Dec 1-Dec 2), Wynwood District, demonstrating its 3D point-cloud painting technology to create an immersive, interactive on-site experience.
