Roomkey kicks off its mini metaverse with social entrepreneurship event

Roomkey is one of the contenders that wants to break us free from Zoom with its own kind of mini metaverse. The Roomkey Metaverse is a social event space in which 40 people mingle in a 3D room with animated avatars with voice chat.

On May 27, Roomkey will hold a Social Entrepreneurship Festival with Twitter cofounder Biz Stone as the host in a room where people will hold audio conversations. Stone, who is an investor in Roomkey, will host an invite-only crowd of about 40 people talking about social entrepreneurship during the pandemic. While that’s a small group, it could fill a niche for events where the number of people is less important than who is in the crowd.
