Digi-Capital launches AR/VR/XR Analytics Platform

July 23, 2018

Digi-Capital has launched its Analytics Platform as the new AR/VR/XR industry dashboard for startups, corporates and VCs. It helps you to know everything in AR/VR/XR, with 500,000+ data points across hardware, software, platforms, products/services, business models, categories and countries. It also covers the leading AR/VR/XR startups, founders, corporates, VCs, valuations, dealflow and relationships by category, investment stage, deal size, country and region.

You can see it in action here.

The platform was soft-launched at a private event at Google in late May, after which ex-Piper Jaffray Apple Analyst (now Loup Ventures Managing Partner) Gene Munster said “Digi-Capital’s Analytics Platform is Bloomberg for AR/VR/XR – it’s beyond comprehensive.” Subscriptions from the soft-launch alone have taken the platform into profit even before it launched this week.

Digi-Capital Managing Director Tim Merel said, “Data/analytics to support the industry have largely come from industry reports so far (including our own), but tools equivalent to Bloomberg, AppAnnie or Pitchbook hadn’t emerged. So we made Digi-Capital’s Analytics Platform for AR/VR/XR professionals to answer question in minutes that would take them weeks, without the cost of doing it themselves. Some of the questions it helps to answer include:

CEO/CSO

Who are my competitors, and what are they doing?
Where and how could I make the most money?
Which platforms could deliver the best return on investment?
Who can I raise money from, and how can I get to them?
What is my company worth?

Product/service

What products and services am I competing with?
What products and services should I build?
Which platforms are critical for my roadmap?
What countries are key for my rollout?

Sales/biz dev

Who else is selling to my customers?
How do I hit my stretch sales target?
Which platforms should I be selling into?
Which countries should be incentivized for my sales teams?

Investor/acquirer

Which companies should I invest in or acquire?
What is the addressable market for my portfolio companies?
Where is the smart money going?
Who are the strategic buyers for my portfolio companies?
What’s my deal worth?

Analyst

Who are the AR/VR/XR Leaders?
What are the biggest business models, categories and countries?
What are the biggest platforms?
