About Jadu:

Jadu is the definitive Web3 Augmented Reality platform and recently raised a $7 million seed round to fuel the development of the Mirrorverse, a world-scale AR game world, launching later this year.

Jadu’s mission is to create a world-scale mobile AR platform that lets players build and control Metaverse IP for real world adventures in the ever-expanding Mirrorverse. We've created a fun, intuitive way for 3D NFTs to become playable characters in our mobile AR app and have begun creating 3D NFT items that work cross-functionally with any 3D NFT avatar.

Our first item, a Jadu Jetpack, sold out in 20 seconds and has more than 30x in value since release. You can check out the trading volume, current pricing, etc on the NFT marketplace OpenSea. Jadu’s sophomore NFT collection Jadu Hoverboards made $4.4M in primary sales and have since been trading fervently in the secondary market. The Jadu Hoverboard collection features ultra rare Hoverboards created in collaboration with cultural icons including seven-time Formula One world champion, Lewis Hamilton; Canadian musician and internet sensation, GRIMES; legendary American rapper, Snoop Dogg; visual artist, Mimi Onuoha and NFT curator, Trippy. Jadu’s earlier collection Jadu Jetpacks, combined with Hoverboards, bring the company’s total NFT market cap to over $40M.

Jadu has gone from releasing headset based narrative AR at Sundance and Tribeca to building educational AR with Serena Williams to building a volumetric AR app with artists like Lil Nas X, K Camp & Pussy Riot. The team has 40 XR projects under its belt and is widely considered pioneers in the AR space with their work being taught at institutions like UC Berkeley and USC.
