Israeli startup echo3D, which has developed a cloud platform to store and stream 3D, AR, and VR content, has secured an investment of $5.5 million led by Qualcomm Ventures, with participation from Remagine Ventures, Konvoy Ventures, and Space Capital LP. The announcement comes on the heels of Qualcomm Incorporated’s previously announced Snapdragon Metaverse Fund and a short 6-months after echo3D’s previous $4 million raise back in October 2021.

echo3D focuses on building tools and infrastructure to help developers create lighter and faster 3D games and apps. The cross-platform cloud solution stores, manages, and streams 3D content to mobile devices, browsers, game engineers, and smart camera devices. The company’s technology also converts, compresses, and optimizes 3D models, animations, and interactive content, and streams them to any smartphone, headset, or browser. Developers using echo3D have built cloud-connected games, AR advertisement campaigns, NFT marketplaces, and more.

“The Metaverse is here and echo3D is building the tools and network infrastructure to support it,” said Alon Grinshpoon, Co-Founder of echo3D. “This is a monumental point in time for the Metaverse and the AR/VR ecosystem, and we are excited to have the support of Qualcomm Ventures as echo3D continues to build the backbone of the next Internet.”

The company’s 3D-first content management system (CMS) and delivery network (CDN) allows developers to build their app backend in minutes, and allows their clients to easily publish content to the 3D games and apps without involving development teams.
