Company profile
researched Aug 2026Dolami, Inc. develops products aimed at creative expression in virtual worlds, centered on avatars and virtual fashion.

Founding story
According to the company, Dolami began in a small classroom office within a San Francisco language school that had been downsized during the Covid pandemic, from which it launched its stated mission of enriching the world of VR. Its first product, X MASK, was built by hand in the early days, with the team creating its own prototype patterns, cutting fabric, sewing with machines and soldering circuit boards. Avatown was subsequently started in response to a frustration the company identified in the VR community: that for most users, finding, customizing and uploading a desired avatar was overly complex.
Business model
Dolami operates consumer-facing virtual world products, including a marketplace where users buy and sell 3D avatars and fashion items, a free-to-visit VRChat world, and a hardware facial-tracking accessory.
Traction
The company reports that The Avatar Studio has welcomed over 900,000 visitors to date.
