About Createra

Createra is a user-generated content (UGC) metaverse engine that enables creators to develop, distribute, and monetize games and experiences, with a focus on Gen Z. Founded in 2022 by CEO Jon Wagbi, the company is headquartered in Hong Kong. The leadership team includes individuals with experience from major gaming and tech companies like Roblox and Evernote. Wagbi's background includes building a previous UGC gaming platform into a unicorn company, fueling his vision to create an ever-evolving digital world.

The company's core technology is a cloud-based web engine designed to make multiplayer game development with web3 features accessible and efficient. Createra provides a suite of easy-to-use, browser-based tools that support real-time collaboration. These include "VOXA," a voxel editor for creating 3D models and NFTs, and "ARENA," a map editor for designing scenes and games. The platform supports an unlimited number of players and cross-play functionality, allowing seamless access from any device.

Createra secured $10 million in a Series A funding round on January 16, 2023, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). The business model centers on the creator economy within a metaverse framework. It operates by allowing creators to build on digital "Land," where all creations, including models, games, and APIs, are tradable as NFTs. This structure facilitates the monetization of digital assets, blurring the lines between creator and consumer and allowing users to profit from their contributions. The company aims to be the bridge between Web2 and Web3 gaming, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
