We strive to deliver our soft launch within the next three to four months in Q1 2021.”

Kyle Davies and Zhu Su, founders of Three Arrows Capital, said:

“Three Arrows is delighted to support Solice, disrupting the Solana ecosystem with a truly immersive virtual reality (VR) metaverse. Blockchain secures the immutability of our connection and access. VR brought us a new immersion that engages our senses. The metaverse offers a combination of both in what we might call a complete liberation of the human experience.”

Arthur Cheong, founding partner of DeFiance Capital, said:

“We are excited to lead this fund-raising round for Solice as the leading metaverse VR platform. The metaverse space is poised to grow exponentially, and Christian and the team are among the most experienced veterans of VR that we’ve met. We believe they will be able to create a phenomenal and immersive VR user experience in the Solice metaverse.”
