Remio

Remio develops a virtual reality platform for remote team building and collaboration aimed at enterprise customers and large groups. The company ships a pre-configured VR headset to each team member and hosts teams in guided or self-serve sessions combining social activities with work-oriented collaboration tools.

The product includes a customizable virtual company headquarters alongside game-like experiences such as Spaceship Escape Rooms, BarVR and paintball, plus standard collaboration features including whiteboards, breakout rooms, presentation rooms and Jira project planning. Remio states its systems support highly interactive sessions with more than 150 participants in a single VR scene, and it has hosted enterprise events with up to 300 simultaneous participants. Sessions are available in both self-serve and facilitator-hosted formats.

Founding story

The company was founded by Jos van der Westhuizen and Derrick van Schalkwyk, motivated by the growth of hybrid work environments and the adoption of VR technology in workplaces, with the aim of providing an all-in-one solution for remote team building in VR.

Business model

Remio sells an enterprise VR team-building and collaboration service, delivering pre-configured VR headsets to team members and hosting facilitated or self-serve sessions, alongside an application in which customers build their own virtual headquarters.

Traction

At the time of its 2022 seed round, Remio cited organic business growth and customers including Google, Netflix, Fidelity, HubSpot, Twilio, Trello and Nextdoor, and had run enterprise events with up to 300 simultaneous participants.

Latest developments

Following its 2022 seed financing, Remio said it would extend its core platform so enterprise customers can create their own spaces, games and experiences in a secure environment.
