First Look: Mtion
Turning Streams Into Places
Motivation, Vision & Value Proposition
Why did you start Mtion? 🔨
I believe deeply in our mission, and what 3D immersive spaces can do for people in social constructs and entertainment. Virtual environments can be a level playing field for people across borders and boundaries, and as we continue to build the metaverse, we can bridge existing gaps.
What is it like being a solo founder? 🏃♂️
It’s been a wild ride but also a great one. I’m a persistent person, and when I set my mind to something, I execute it with vigour. I have an awesome team who have supported me throughout my journey.
What is your vision for Mtion? 🚀
We are building the metaverse with a utility-focused approach. Similar to Roblox but for the streaming and video game space.
What is your core value proposition? ✨
For streamers, it’s a way for them to differentiate themselves. It provides them with a tool for creativity and monetisation.
For fans, it’s a new way to experience and engage with the streamer through these more immersive, video game-like experiences.
Product
What are the key features of your current product? 👨💻
Mtion is a desktop application for streamers that provides a simple interface to create 3D content. Assets can be dragged and dropped into 3D spaces so that the area reflects the streamer. The content designed by the streamer can be published as experiences for fans through the web, mobile, AR/VR, etc.
What feedback have you received from your early users? 💪
The feedback we have received has been amazing. We launched our closed beta in early October and streamers using the platform have responded really well. We’re seeing such cool stuff beyond what we expected!
Market
What wins in the metaverse? 🔑
From the user perspective, bridges need to be built between different platforms. To reduce friction points, we need to start thinking about the user experience as multimodal.
