Romain Lavault, Partner at Partech Ventures, stated:

Romain Lavault“The 360Cam totally changes the way people record, upload, share and visualize video memories. With no post-processing and live streaming to tablets and VR headsets, as well as to native Facebook and YouTube feeds, the immersion is surreal and a single movie can be watched hundreds of time without seeing the same thing,. Over the last two years of scouting this emerging market in both Silicon Valley and Europe, the GIROPTIC team is the absolute best we have found in that emerging field. We are determined to help them become the undisputed leader of 360/VR consumer video.”

GIROPTIC Co-Founder and CEO, Richard Ollier, commented:

“We funded GIROPTIC seven years ago on a simple but bold idea. Photos and videos should be as immersive, absolute, and natural as reality itself. This funding will allow us to bring our product to market faster and continue to advance our technology further.”
