Abstract: The next tuyere, is not a virtual reality, it is hard to say. But it's no exaggeration to say that virtual reality is everyone's dream. You have a desire to live somewhere or go somewhere and experience something, and you will love virtual reality.
The next tuyere, is not a virtual reality, it is hard to say. But it's no exaggeration to say that virtual reality is everyone's dream. You have a desire to live somewhere or go somewhere and experience something, and you will love virtual reality.
The 2014 is a year of virtual reality, and companies are moving. Facebook 2 billion dollar acquisition Oculus Vr,google I/O assembly released Cardboard, Sony Project Morpheus released game "Street sled" full version ... When the wind has not come, the big and powerful companies are always on the wind. In addition to Jaunt VR this year few small teams in the development, financing aspects to achieve breakthroughs. Wait, don't be jealous, the Jaunt VR, which completes two rounds of financing this year, looks like nothing but a seventh company founded by Arthur, who has been in Silicon Valley for more than 20 years. These, starting from 0 small team can compare?
Yes, from 0 to 1, these are the people who dream for all of humanity, they need the YC incubator.
At the end of 2014, Rothenberg Ventures, the VC company, launched the world's first incubator river for virtual reality entrepreneurs and opened the application. Almost at the same time, China on the other side of the ocean, after three months of preparation, also appeared the first VR incubator fervent VR.
While the same is true of VR verticals, the two incubators on both sides of the ocean have different temperaments. The river is more like the vertical field of YC, from the incubation period to the stock terms, the basic version of YC. No way, who let YC in the United States so successful. Fervent VR is a modified YC with Chinese characteristics.
First, the rent-free period was extended to at least six months. YC and YC incubators typically have a three-month incubation period, which is certainly appropriate in the era of heavy design and heavy-mode mobile internet. With the guidance of a mentor, the help of YC, and the introduction of new investment, three months is basically enough. But the VR domain technology threshold is high, the hardware and software implementation cycle tend to be longer, even the Oculus Rift which is bought by Facebook will take more than a year. At the present stage, the 3-month period is clearly not enough. As a result, STRONGVR will launch a rent-free period of at least six months (and can be extended) while providing free youth apartments to the team.
Another difference is the problem of shares. YC and YC incubators typically account for 7% of shares, but Strongvr says the team will not be taking stakes at this stage. First, the market is not yet clear, still need to observe, and the second is in the emerging industries, to give the team a larger, more free space for development, not in the form of equity ownership bondage. Estimate if you are a developer, see here, must feel is a liar company, even more uneasy. In fact, this also and STRONGVR backed state-owned enterprises, service nature is more obvious, short-term policy, law, tax and follow-up capital Capital docking is not a problem.
STRONGVR to 36 Krypton revealed, "At present any and virtual reality related hardware and software team can be settled in." The incubator will provide six months of free office environment, a kitchen full of free dormitory, half a year, all free, six months after the evaluation of excellence can continue to free. The incubator does not take possession of the shares as the conditions, at the same time provide industrial and commercial registration, office support, intellectual property rights, legal tax, project docking, investment and financing of a series of services. "Of course, the incubator will not accept any team that makes mobile internet reality in the name of virtual reality." In the early days of virtual reality, the start-up team talk about layout, talk about mode, talk about positioning is a little early, down-to-earth to do things team more easily trusted.
Currently, seven teams have entered the fervent VR incubator, respectively:
TVR Time Machine Virtual reality Technology Co., Ltd. (game, film and television direction)
Surreal Network Technology Co., Ltd. (game integration direction)
Hao Wei Chuang Vision Technology Co., Ltd. (home decoration, property direction)
Vrerse Technology Co., Ltd. (Scientific and technological media direction)
UVRT Technology Co., Ltd. (large simulation direction)
Monkey Island Technology Co., Ltd. (game direction)
China Power Blueprint Co., Ltd. (military simulation direction)
Now the recruitment is still in progress, still worried about the landing of VR projects can submit applications (micro-credit public account: STRONGVR), for the VR interested in the children's shoes can also go over to see, perhaps there is an unexpected harvest it.
