## About

Based in Belfast, Ireland, SideQuest Ltd. also known as SidequestVR operates as an online platform, intended to promote the Virtual Reality (VR) industry. In October 2021, the firm raised USD 3 million in seed funding led by new investor PROfounders Capital, and in November 2021, the company raised an additional EUR 2.6 million in seed funding. SideQuest Ltd. was co-founded by Orla Harris (COO), and Shane Harris, and as of 2021, the company has approximately one million monthly active users.

The company offers an online platform that promotes the virtual reality sector by delivering mutual benefits to both developers and gamers. The company's platform enables VR developers to publish or launch their applications or creative content for zero fees, allowing them to receive feedback and suggestions well before they are released to the public. It also gives users access to exclusive games and applications that aren't otherwise available in the Oculus Store (Oculus Quest is a VR headset launched by Facebook).

SideQuest Ltd. will use the October 2021 funding to assist VR developers in publishing their applications across multiple platforms via OpenXR integration.
