Overview

Facemoji builds a plug-and-play SDK that helps game and app developers add avatar systems to their products. The startup uses its own lightweight rendering pipeline instead of relying on Unity plugins and provides a full, diverse set of avatar art out of the box. The team is developing plug-and-play NFT storefronts so developers can let users buy accessories for their avatars. Facemoji emphasizes easy, developer-friendly integration rather than creating a cross-platform metaverse identity layer. Founders and CEO Robin Raszka are interested in metaverse and NFT trends and see platforms like Twitter as prime real estate for avatar expression. Financially, the company closed a $3 million seed round led by Play Ventures with participation from Twitter, Roosh Ventures and angel investors.
