## About

Founded in 2019 and based in London, UK, Emperia Ltd. operates as a software platform that engages in developing a virtual retail clothing brand. Olga Dogadkina (CEO) and Simonas Holcmann (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In January 2023, Emperia Ltd. raised EUR 9 million in Series A funding from Base10 Partners, including Background Capital, Concept Ventures, Daphni, Sony Ventures, and Stanford Capital Partners. As of January 2023, the company also has an office in the US.

The company provides a platform that enables the creation of immersive virtual experience solutions for brands and designers, retailers, and for galleries, artists, and museums. Emperia's platform expands the reach and accessibility of e-commerce by leveraging virtual space, giving businesses access to technology and infrastructure that allows them to build and manage powerful virtual experiences, and offering live tour and chat capabilities, which allow for a virtual simulation of the physical shopping experience, as well as adding a layer of interaction, personalization, data monitoring, and omnichannel cohesion.

The firm also streamlines omnichannel efforts by establishing metaverse retail locations. The company serves clients including Nespresso, Dior, Bloomingdale’s, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Harrods, and others.

The organisation plans to use the January 2023 funding to hire team members and further platform development.
