Overview
Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship
Virtual Society Foundation is an independent organization launched by Improbable to advance digital virtual worlds and virtual reality environments. It collaborates with developers and organizations to enhance virtual world capabilities while prioritizing privacy and data security. Revenue comes from partnerships and potential grants or donations, reflecting its foundation status. The foundation aims to create secure, private virtual environments for entertainment, education, and business, and to maintain transparency and user trust by clearly communicating policy changes. Differences from competitors include its independent, foundation-backed model, focus on privacy, and active emphasis on transparency and collaboration with ecosystem partners rather than selling a standalone product.
