Company mission
Condense is on a mission to bring the world's live events to the metaverse.
Our take
Condense brings real world live events into online game platforms in the Metaverse by leveraging a combination of hardware and software, through its portable multi camera system and real time streaming platform.
The Metaverse’s growth has led to a groundswell of “public” open world 3D platforms like Sandbox and Decentraland, while there’s also been a rise in event spaces such as galleries, auction rooms, and even 3D renderings of luxury clothing stores. It seems that it was only a matter of time until someone would try to bring concerts and sports games there too.
Though the Bristol based startup is still quite small, Condense is one of the first to achieve this, having successfully streamed Glastonbury music festival in Summer 2022. It makes business sense, as the potential for ticket sales becomes endless regardless of venue capacity.
Fresh from securing funding to scale up operations, Condense is now opening its own Metaverse studio, and is aiming to ramp up commercial operations with artists, record labels and promoters, as well as Metaverse platforms.
