Why are CEE startups leaving the region?
I have shared insights in @TechFundingNews:

➡️ Widening funding gap
➡️ Brain drain in leadership + sales
➡️ The "barbell effect" squeezing Series A/B

Good news: we have 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞.

I usually get around 200,000 points on Hell Horde, our Mixed Reality game. 👹🔫

And this is how getting good at Hell Horde looks like 🤯

At MixRift, we move fast - rapid prototyping, iterating and releasing games that actually resonate with players.

It’s all about exploring MR mechanics to bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds.

AI won’t be a game-changer for MR/XR just yet.

XR evolves too fast for AI to keep up - but AI-driven graphics, storytelling & characters are on the rise.

It’s only a matter of time before they shape XR gaming too.
