Meta launches $50M Meta Horizon Creator Fund

This week, Meta launched a $50 million Meta Horizon Creator Fund. Under the theme of “Shape what’s next,” Meta plans to reward creators who can innovate and earn with Meta Horizon Worlds.

The fund will support Meta Horizon Worlds creators with new opportunities to create, monetize and earn rewards. I couldn’t get around to doing this when it was announced, but I figure it’s worth writing for those who may have missed it and might want a chunk of the $50 million. It shows that Meta hasn’t yet given up on its metaverse dreams, even as it invests more heavily in AI.
