Why subscribe?

Because you will probably never laugh as much reading about a startup. Then again, we were complete idiots, trying to do the metaverse in the mid 90s on machines that couldn’t handle it and modems that couldn’t carry it…but hey, Intel wants to invest so lessgooooo!

It’s a hell of a story, it doesn’t end well for our heroes, but it’s a great ride and you will actually learn a thing or two about building virtual worlds, raising money, and running a startup.

So subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update.
