Virtual stadium developer Virtex closed $3.2M in seed funding

Virtex is expanding its team thanks to $3.2 million raised in a round of seed funding. The company is a VR focused virtual stadium developer, with a focus towards esports. Supporters of the funding round include Global Founders Capital, All Iron Ventures and Graph Ventures. Other investors include Sure Valley, Mario Götze and André Schürrle.

The Virtex Stadium is a social virtual reality experience. People can join a lobby and hang around to chat with dozens of others. Or they can head directly into the stadium proper to grab a seat to watch an event. The stadium itself will be able to support hundreds of users at a time.
