## About

Based in the US and founded in 2021 by founder Aaron Ng, Hyper Online, Inc. provides tools for VTubers (virtual YouTubers) and avatar content creators to go live and record content using motion capture to generate revenue. In June 2023, Hyper Online, Inc. raised USD 3.6 million in seed funding led by new investor Two Sigma Ventures, with participation from other new investors Amazon and MakersFund.

The business provides Hyper AI, a platform for building AI-based characters that look like YouTube avatars and are driven by generative AI. The characters serve as personal chatbots, storytelling entities, or auxiliary characters alongside a VTuber avatar. By utilising OpenAI's GPT technology, the business expands the platform's narrative possibilities and lifts restrictions on material created by people.
