I am vvvvvvvvvvery excited for what's to come! We've got a convo with the legend himself, Ori Inbar (founder of AWE) on July 3rd at 2:30 PM ET. AWE has been the leading XR event since 2010, and pretty much every single person in our industry knows Ori. This is an unbelievable opportunity to meet him and hear his thoughts on AR/VR customers, how to acquire them, and much more. You don't want to miss this one! We hope you can join our Collective to see what we have in store for our private conversation with Ori. You'll also get invited to upcoming private conversations with investors from Lightspeed Ventures, General Catalyst, Road to VR, VentureBeat, and Meta. Join today so you can attend all future convos, get access to our customer/investor database for XR, and join the other 115 members who are apart of the Collective! Thank you for considering joining this journey with me, ~Don Stein
