How a metaverse startup proved their concept in 6 months
About the stealth startup
The stealth startup provides a social metaverse and gamification for how companies onboard new employees remotely, with the goal of improving employee retention at companies with high turnover rates & costs.
Challenge
At it’s pre-seed stage, the startup was looking to scale fast by deloying at least 2 Proof-Of-Concepts in 6 months. However, as the metaverse and its application are still in its early stage, the low adoption rate in the market posed a challenge. In addition, the company was also unsure of their ideal customer profile (ICP), what sectors and size of company to target.
