The Venture Reality Fund/VRF

The Venture Reality Fund (The VR Fund) is a San Francisco-based, Silicon Valley venture capital firm founded in 2016 by Tipatat Chennavasin and Marco DeMiroz. It established itself as the leading early-stage investor in virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality, and has since broadened its thesis to fund Physical AI and Spatial Intelligence, the technologies it sees defining the next era of computing, across infrastructure, development platforms, content and applications for both consumer and enterprise. The firm invests primarily at Seed and Series A, with check sizes commonly cited in the $500K to $2M range, and it is willing to lead. Its portfolio spans roughly 58 companies and includes unicorn Rec Room, along with Baobab Studios, Strivr, TheWaveVR, Inworld AI, World Labs, Scenario, Apprentice.io and Phiar Technologies; notable exits include Owlchemy Labs, acquired by Google, and Phiar. The VR Fund is backed by a roster of world-class strategic limited partners including Qualcomm, Orange, Bell, NetEase, Krafton, Colopl Next, OPPO, HP Tech Ventures and Yahoo Japan, giving portfolio companies global commercial reach. Co-founder Marco DeMiroz was previously a Managing Director at TPG Growth, while Tipatat Chennavasin brings a creator's perspective from shipping VR and AR experiences since the original Oculus DK1. By combining deep immersive-technology specialization with strategic corporate LPs, The VR Fund backs founders building the infrastructure, platforms and content for spatial computing and physical AI.
