Glue Collaboration scores funding
Summary
The investment, led by Maki.vc, an early-stage venture capital fund, reflects Glue’s rapid advances in multi-user VR software as well as its ambition to become a leading global player in its field. We are now well positioned to accelerate the commercial phase of our growth and help organizations do business in a more productive and sustainable way.” Ilkka Kivimäki, Partner at Maki.vc, said: “Providing the optimal setting for effective virtual collaboration is no easy undertaking, but we are excited about the progress Glue has made. The result is a platform that offers enormous potential for businesses serious about reducing travel and cutting their carbon footprint.” Glue was founded in 2017 by Santtu Parikka and Juha Ruistola, who serve as, respectively, Glue’s CDO and CTO. Glue provides a true feeling of presence and access to a full set of tools for effective live collaboration in persistent, real-time and fully-customizable virtual environments complete with 3D spatialized-audio. Our journey began 15 years ago as an award-winning animation, XR and gaming studio and now we are leveraging our renowned Finnish digital craftsmanship to take remote collaboration to the next level.
