how Can VR CEO's Fundraise VC Capital in 2025


(Virtual) Reality Check

Wednesday: GOLF+ CEO joins us to chat XR startup advice

Ryan figured it out. He launched a VR startup, he achieved millions of revenue, and millions of funding. He continues to grow as one of the top grossing app's on Meta Quest. He has pioneered a new category of XR gaming/lifestyle, and I even used to use GOLF+ for remote business meetings (way more fun). RSVP to meet him.

Special Guest: XR Founder Coach

Ryan Engle, GOLF+

This is a great opportunity to sit down with a founder who can teach us so much, if you're in The Spatial Collective this is one you 100% need to come to and ask questions.

Submit Your Question

(Don): I'll either bring you up to the spotlight or I'll read your question, but please submit by Tuesday evening b/c I need to plan content!

As always, I created a Calendly so it's easy for you to RSVP. Having your RSVP early allows me to create better content because I can focus on the conversation agenda rather than chase RSVPs :).

RSVP here if you're thinking about coming.

Hoping you had a great weekend, see you on Weds!
