Katmai wants to change how people work online.
Katmai has raised $22M
for its 3D virtual office platform that integrates video conferencing
with a real-time 3D engine to foster authentic human interactions. The platform allows the user to feel like they are both in an office and still taking advantage of being remote.
- The
technology allows for spontaneous interactions, personalized
environments, spatial audio, and the convenience of working remotely.
- The
company uses actual videos instead of cartoon avatars, facilitating
natural communication and helping people build rapport more naturally
and genuinely.
- The platform is designed to offer businesses a
competitive edge by providing leaders instant access to their teams and
boosting productivity.
- No proprietary software or hardware is
required, and the platform is accessible through a browser with no
virtual reality headset needed.
- Katmai has worked with dozens of companies across Fortune 500 firms and startups with various use cases.
- The
Series A round was led by Starr Insurance Companies, with funding from
additional investors, including NFL Super Bowl Champion Sidney Rice.
