Why I Chose to Invest in Immersed (and How You Can Join Me)

Hey there, gaming enthusiasts! Kit Navock here, stepping in as the new Chief Marketing Officer at Immersed. A while back, I found myself at a crossroads after selling my company. Like many other founders post-acquisition, I was reflecting on my next steps—pondering what kind of team and mission I wanted to embark on next. Fast forward to today, I’ve landed at Immersed because their vision really resonates with me. Plus, you too can hop on this journey and potentially invest in our future!

Let me walk you through how I got here. I’d had my eye on Immersed for quite some time. Early on, I invested in them out of sheer curiosity, slowly unraveling their world through casual meetups, movie nights, and brainstorming sessions at their Austin digs. Along the way, I even recruited someone from their inner circle to work at my previous company. What began as a budding interest grew into genuine admiration for these folks. They weren’t just brains; they were genuinely good people—tenacious, driven, humble, and focused on their mission.

A few months back, I shot a text to Renji, the founder of Immersed, just to chat about some basketball updates. And you won’t believe his reply: “You should come work with us.”

At first, I didn’t take it seriously. Renji’s a persuasive guy, so I listened just to humor him. But his pitch lingered in my mind, sparking days of contemplation with my closest confidants—friends and mentors whom I trust implicitly. Despite living the dream with a mellow consulting gig and lots of free time post-acquisition, this opportunity felt different to me.

Unanimously, they encouraged me: “Go for it.”

Sure, I took a pay cut and accepted an equity chunk that might take a while to mature. But it wasn’t about quick gains; it was my belief in these people and their product, a potential game-changer in the tech realm, that sealed the deal. Only when I finally engaged firsthand with their innovations did the whole picture snap into focus for me.

Let’s talk about Visor. It’s Immersed’s headset that completely flipped my expectations. Before diving into this XR (Extended Reality) scene, I was a fresh face. Sure, I’m no stranger to tech, but AR/VR? That was new. I wasn’t one of those early adopters rigging sensors to my head back in the day. More of a mainstream participant—someone who’d splurge on an Apple Vision Pro to get a taste of spatial computing.

To my surprise, it worked wonders for my focus and productivity. But then came Visor, Immersed’s groundbreaking headset, offering exactly what I never realized I needed. At just ~186 grams, lighter than my smartphone, it resembles sleek sunglasses and features independent functionality with dual 4K micro-OLED displays and a 3-hour runtime. Its true strength, though, lies in compatibility with real work tools—be it VS Code, Figma, your email client, Blender, browsing tabs, or even Netflix. This isn’t some afterthought addition to my computer.

It’s neither a developer kit nor a toy. It’s not cumbersome or overpriced at $3,499. It simply integrates seamlessly into your workday. Even as the new guy on the block, I recognize this isn’t just another prototype—it’s the headset poised to embrace the masses.

The Visor is opening doors beyond being a simple app. It heralds a full spatial computing platform, an operating system engineered for concentration, heavy-duty tasks, and integrated 3D solutions—not floating 2D panels. Think of it as embodying how Steve Jobs viewed Apple’s ecosystem—a complete, cohesive environment.

A pivotal revelation for me was Curator AI, an inherently integrated assistant that grasps my workflow, smooths context shifts, and subtly heightens my efficiency. It’s no gimmick; it’s the core connection across the platform. Perhaps much like what Siri aspired to be but hasn’t quite achieved yet.

Combining the Visor, the Immersed platform, and Curator AI morphs this into more than abstract LLMs—it becomes tangible. With OpenXR support, developers can build right atop it, whether it’s tools, agents, or complete apps. It’s not about translating your desktop into 3D; it’s crafting spatial productivity from inception, infusing AI from the outset. It’s for the innovators.

Why is this crucial now? Well, I didn’t join Immersed just for floating screens and animated avatars. I’m here because I genuinely believe that spatial computing will redefine our working and living dynamics. The convergence of immersive spaces, native tools, and perpetual AI support constitutes a daring advance and it’s happening sooner than many might think. Immersed embodies the vision, the tech, and the talent required for this transformation. That’s my motivation for joining forces with them.

The creations of Immersed aren’t just for hobbyists. They’re crafted for engineers, designers, stock traders, artists, founders, and filmmakers—for anyone whose job revolves around a screen. As AI evolves alongside humanoid robotics, the allure of a seamlessly functioning, immersive spatial platform will escalate.

Visor transcends being just a headset. Immersed’s platform exceeds a mere virtual workspace. Curator is more than an AI assistant. Together, they deliver a comprehensive ecosystem for us to elevate our game.

We’re beyond excited to reveal this to you all.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect headset—and company—to back, consider this your invitation. Partner with Immersed in bringing spatial computing to everyone.
