Infinite Reality (iR)™, a company specializing in extended reality (XR), artificial intelligence (AI), and immersive technologies, has announced the successful completion of a $3 billion equity funding round. This latest investment brings the company’s valuation to $12.25 billion, solidifying its position as a leader in the rapidly expanding immersive technology sector. A private investor provided the funding with a portfolio focused on global technology and real estate ventures, highlighting the growing recognition of iR's potential to redefine digital engagement and e-commerce.
Infinite Reality Secures $3 Billion Investment
This investment will allow Infinite Reality to accelerate its mission of enabling businesses and creators to build immersive digital environments. The company’s approach is rooted in improving direct relationships with private investors and family offices, distinguishing it from many technology firms that rely heavily on traditional venture capital. According to co-founder and CEO John Acunto, the company is committed to giving its clients ownership over their data, customers, and digital experiences. He emphasized the value this funding brings to iR’s customers, providing them with tools to seamlessly transition their digital presence into immersive platforms that leverage AI to optimize outcomes.
Infinite Reality’s growth strategy is focused on expanding its technological capabilities, entering new markets, and forging strong industry partnerships. The company is particularly committed to advancing its proprietary technologies, such as iR Studio, a no-code immersive software platform designed to democratize the creation of XR experiences. This platform enables businesses to enhance audience engagement and improve performance metrics such as e-commerce conversion rates, further supporting its mission to empower users in the digital age.
Immersive Web. Infinite Potential.
The new funding supports Infinite Reality’s ongoing efforts to build on its history of strategic acquisitions and high-profile collaborations. Recent examples include the $450 million purchase of Dubai-based Landvault, which has developed over one million square feet of virtual experiences for major brands, and the $250 million acquisition of the Drone Racing League. These acquisitions have bolstered iR’s expertise in areas such as computer vision, gaming, robotics, and spatial web technologies.
Additionally, the company has pursued notable collaborations, including a five-year partnership with Google Cloud to integrate artificial intelligence and spatial computing into immersive experiences like blockchain gaming. In the MENA region, iR has worked with both public and private entities on digital twin technologies, with practical applications ranging from interactive training to large-scale urban planning projects. Its work in this area includes a digital twin of the DMCC Crypto Centre and partnerships with governments and tourism authorities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and beyond.
iR Studio and Enterprise
A key element of Infinite Reality’s growth plan is its ongoing public-private partnership with the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it is developing a state-of-the-art innovation hub. This initiative involves transforming over 60 acres of previously abandoned property into a global headquarters and innovation center. The project is expected to generate thousands of jobs and serve as a hub for the next generation of internet technologies. Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean J. Trantalis has emphasized the project’s potential to position Florida as a leader in digital innovation.
The new funding will also enable Infinite Reality to enhance the features of its software platforms, integrate advanced AI tools, and support its global go-to-market strategy. Co-founder and Chief Business Officer Amish Shah highlighted the significance of the investment as a testament to the company’s vision and its focus on customer-centric solutions.
Clients and Partners
Infinite Reality is leveraging this investment to strengthen its position as a category leader in immersive technologies. The company aims to facilitate the adoption of XR across industries by providing accessible tools that empower brands, creators, and developers to craft innovative digital experiences. By focusing on customer ownership of data and relationships, Infinite Reality is setting a new standard for digital engagement and e-commerce in the immersive age.
