virtual reality Startups

Gamers Gift is a virtual reality platform built by Dillon Hill to enable bed-bound and disabled patients to experience places and activities they otherwise cannot access. The company leverages VR technology to improve quality of life for patients with mobility constraints.

Billy McFarland, infamous for the failed Fyre Festival, is attempting a comeback with Pyrate, a platform that hosts small groups (6-15 people) on private island adventures while livestreaming experiences to virtual audiences who can interact and influence real-world events in real-time. The venture aims to generate revenue through micro-transactions (e.g., $0.20 per action) from millions of virtual viewers, with aspirations to exceed the Bahamas' annual tourism numbers through virtual attendance.
