Summary
Improbable, a virtual reality startup backed by SoftBank, has reported an 85% reduction in losses in the 2022 fiscal year. The company's focus on powering new "metaverse" experiences and the dramatic reduction in the cost of running virtual events contributed to this improvement. Improbable's revenues more than doubled, reaching £78 million ($95 million). The company aims to become a major player in the metaverse concept and has been working with digital asset players. It recently unveiled its vision for MSquared, a network of interoperable Web3 metaverses. Improbable's approach differs from companies like Apple and Meta, as it does not require a headset and aims for decentralization and interoperability.
