Hey HN,

I'm Jeremy, CEO of Venu (https://venu3d.com), and my team and I have created a virtual 3D trade show platform that feels like you're there in real life.

We would like to invite you to experience Venu for yourself by walking around a virtual trade show, check out the exhibit booths, come on stage -- all from your computer! VENU will be open for tours today from 12-2pm PST. Come hang out in our lounge while you eat your lunch. Please follow the download & installation instructions and pop on in! Download Venu at https://www.venu3d.com/downloads.html - please enter "HN" for event name.

We enable event professionals to host virtual exhibits, fairs, & conferences in a 3D venue, beyond 2D faces on a screen. Venu allows participants to walk through an expo hall as 3D avatars in first person view, have spontaneous conversations and network with others, present on stage to a full audience of avatars, and sell sponsorships.

Our customers like Microsoft, YPO, Global Game Jam, Indie Games Expo, Global Pandemic Coalition, Earth Day Summit, have created expositions, networking, and speaker experiences in Venu for their attendees that keep them coming back for more.

We're a team of passionate creatives who left our software jobs to pursue our dreams to create a virtual world where people can connect and live life beyond what's possible today with virtual reality as the everyday norm.

When I was 14, I was inspired by a TV show called Yu-Gi-Oh that showed me a world of augmented reality holograms and virtual reality, which led me to study at Georgia Tech, join and ship Xbox One at Microsoft, ship HoloLens at Microsoft, start my first startup RoboBear teaching elementary school students college level robotics with robotic teddy bears to pay for rent to start our virtual reality startup today.

We've been through 5 fun and challenging years, being one of the first to innovate in the VR market, developing VR games, hosting conferences in San Francisco, opening VR arcades, developing enterprise apps for clients, developing Venu, overcoming running out of money countless times, to make it to where we are today, and we have so many more exciting challenges to tackle ahead of us.

We would love to hear your feedback. Please send us questions.

Thanks! Jeremy
