Gaining Momentum

Remio is a legitimate Y Combinator (S21) startup with verified traction, including a $4.5M seed round led by Khosla Ventures and enterprise adoption by companies like Google, Netflix, and T-Mobile. The platform effectively merges VR collaboration with social gaming to address remote work isolation. However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data, necessitating independent verification to establish the score. The project falls firmly into the 'small but promising' category based on verified fundamentals despite the submitter's lack of effort.

Description
We envision a future where employees work in VR and AR headsets instead of using old-fashioned monitors. By slipping on a headset, knowledge workers would be able to transport themselves into a beautiful virtual office where they could sit and work right next to their colleagues or in private spaces. What's even better is that they could jump into adjacent rooms with their colleagues and play fun games ranging from table tennis to zombie shooters.\n\nAt the moment we send a headset to each team member of distributed teams and host them for a few fun games and collaborative sessions. We have more demand than we can handle and need some Unity experts to help us create more magic!
