CEO at Enklu

WHY IS ENKLU EXPLODING? In 2024, Enklu set an aggressive growth target to onboard one new enterprise customer per month in Q1 and Q2, and accelerate to two per month in Q3 and Q4. I am pleased to share that our team met these targets in Q1 with new installs in Dublin, Cincinnati, and Phoenix. Additionally, Verse Orlando moved into a new permanent location at Dezerland! https://lnkd.in/gY3zsjf7 Congratulations to our partners in Orlando! With an installation pipeline that includes new locations in Querétaro, Mexico, El Salvador, and several others soon to be announced in the US, Enklu will soon help a business run a verse near you! Every week, players spend thousands of hours in Enklu’s AR Cloud with their friends, families, and colleagues at location-based businesses around the globe. Some come once; many return repeatedly to experience the magic of bringing digital content to life in the real world. Rolling out the technology and process innovations that power such a network was no small achievement. It took Enklu several years and many hard-learned lessons to support even one continuous location-based AR experience. Many people said it couldn’t be done; others doubted it was a big enough opportunity. An early CFO of Uber infamously left the company thinking that the market size was limited to just “replacing taxis.” History shows that Uber did far more when the ease of calling a ride anywhere enabled new use cases for ride-hailing that were previously impossible with traditional yellow-cars. It can be very difficult for people to imagine how the world changes once a new product makes previously impossible ideas a reality. Once Enklu had our model figured out, growing from one location to eight took less than a year, with less than one-tenth of the capital requirements that previous generations of VR-based businesses needed to scale. Because our team didn’t give up when it was hard, we developed a grit and scrappiness that provides us with unrivaled efficiency and velocity. By the end of 2025, Enklu will power the largest location-based digital ecosystem on the planet, and that’s when phase two begins...

What do you think? How will the world change when AR is possible in more places? What opportunities are companies missing out on today?

That's awesome man, you guys have been so consistent with this. Ever thought of doing something in Asia? Back when we were vacationing in Taiwan, even the city had AR events and you saw people on the boardwalk engaging with the experience.
