Immersed

Founders, Backgrounds, and Bench

Immersed was founded in 2017 by Renji Bijoy, a solo founder who remains the company's CEO. Bijoy, a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient with a Computer Science background from Georgia Tech, provides the technical leadership and public voice for the venture [aaespeakers.com, 2026][iheart.com, 2026].

Data Accuracy: GREEN -- Key claims on funding, product roadmap, and team are corroborated by multiple independent sources.

Company Overview

Immersed is a spatial computing startup building a virtual office platform and a custom headset, headquartered in Austin, Texas [LinkedIn, 2026]. The company has evolved from a software app that connects any headset to a laptop into a full-stack hardware and software proposition, with its Visor headset designed specifically for knowledge workers [KingsCrowd, 2025]. The company's early development was supported by the Techstars accelerator program in 2017 [TheCompanyCheck]. A definitive business combination agreement with Maquia Capital Acquisition Corp. was mutually terminated in May 2024 [law360.com, 2026]. The company has raised approximately $12 million to date from a mix of early-stage VCs and a community round via Wefunder [foundersecrets.io, 2026][together.emory.edu, 2026].

Data Accuracy: GREEN -- Confirmed by LinkedIn, GlobeNewswire, and multiple funding reports.

The Product and the Stack

Immersed's product strategy centers on a two-pronged approach: a widely distributed software application and a purpose-built hardware device. The Immersed app is a virtual office platform that allows users to connect their existing computers to a variety of VR headsets, providing up to five virtual screens and shared co-working rooms [KingsCrowd, 2025]. It is available on the Meta Quest store, where it has garnered nearly 2,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.3 stars [mixed-news.com, 2026]. The Visor is a proprietary XR headset designed for professional use, featuring high-resolution displays and a lightweight form factor [uploadvr.com, 2026]. The Visor is designed to launch directly into the Immersed app [reddit.com/r/virtualreality, 2026]. The company has announced a roadmap including an AI assistant called Curator AI [mixed-news.com, 2026]. Founder's Edition units are targeting early 2025, with mass production for the standard Visor 4K model targeted for Summer 2025 [uploadvr.com, 2026][reddit.com/r/virtualreality, 2026]. The headset was initially priced at $750, with a planned increase to $950 [mixed-news.com, 2026].

Metric	Value
Remote Desktop Software (2023)	$2.5B
Enterprise VR Market (2030 Forecast)	$100B

Data Accuracy: YELLOW -- Market sizing figures are drawn from analogous, published third-party reports, not specific to VR workspaces.

The Competitive Field

Immersed operates in a segment of spatial computing against both pure-play software utilities and hardware ecosystems. The recent sunsetting of Meta Horizon Workrooms created a user migration opportunity [PR Newswire]. The Visor's differentiator is its form factor and focus on productivity [uploadvr.com, 2026]. The company does not own the primary distribution channel for VR software, the Meta Quest Store [mixed-news.com, 2026].

Data Accuracy: YELLOW -- Competitor profiles are based on common market knowledge; Immersed's own data points are confirmed by multiple sources.

Opportunity

Immersed aims to become the default spatial computing platform for remote knowledge work. The Immersed app has nearly 2,000 reviews on the Meta store with an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars [mixed-news.com, 2026]. The company's recent fundraising activities have been anchored around a $200 million valuation cap [YouTube, April 2025].

Data Accuracy: YELLOW -- The core product claims, app traction, and hardware roadmap are well-cited from primary sources and news reports.
