This week they signed a letter of intent to acquire Shape Immersive Entertainment for almost 15 million shares plus $1 million in cash.
Originally founded in 2018 by Alex Chuang and Dan Burgar, Shape builds immersive experiences for Metaverse leading companies like Red Bull, the Olympics, and RTFKT (recently acquired by Nike).
