  • Squido Studio

    Participated · Equity · Nov 2023

    Squido Studio is creating DigiGods, a social VR and mixed-reality platform that lets teens and young adults play mini-games, challenge friends and collaborate on user-generated projects. The product highlights four technical pillars: multiplayer immersive physics, drag-and-drop content creation tools, instant loading of bite-sized "mini-metaverses," and full mixed-reality hand-tracking compatibility. Since launching in beta on Meta App Lab, DigiGods has attracted more than 100,000 users who have awarded it an average rating of 4.8/5; the team is targeting one million players by year-end with three major content updates and an influencer-driven marketing push. Squido operates a freemium monetization model with in-app purchases. The company expects the fresh capital to create about 20 new jobs and accelerate international expansion. Squido’s earlier VR title, No More Rainbows, has generated over $3 million in revenue, is projected to reach $6 million, and has surpassed 500,000 downloads with a 4.6/5 rating, underscoring the studio’s commercial traction.
