WAVEUP VIEW

The challenges of VR startups

Navigating the dynamic terrain of the VR industry requires agility, making startups grapple with distinct complexities when pursuing venture capital funding and driving growth.

Evaluating business performance

Making headway in a fast-growing VR industry can be a daunting task. The unavailability of established baselines and the ambiguity linked with appropriate metrics can make a business evaluation and its presentation to investors a convoluted and time-consuming journey affecting funders’ decision to participate in a venture.

Securing the appropriate funding

With the landscape of fundraising continually evolving, it’s crucial to learn to adapt a compelling business story to current investment realities and reflect this in a tailored VR pitch deck. This demands an amplified concentration on capital efficiency, reinforcing your go-to-market strategy to prioritize partner and community involvement over paid channels and the like.

Accelerating growth

In spite of a plethora of established go-to-market strategies and growth frameworks, companies often stumble upon difficulties in choosing the most optimal strategy and addressing two central questions – when is the ideal time for scaling and how rapid should this growth be?
