The future of real estate
Everyrealm
In 2021, Janine Yorio and her co-founders were stuck in a pandemic lockdown with an entrepreneurial itch to scratch. Having recently sold their real estate investment app to Republic, they started dabbling in NFTs and Decentraland real estate. Within a few months, these experimental metaverse real estate projects began to take on a life of their own and Republic Realm was born. At the start of 2022, we partnered to create a new brand that would reflect their status as first-movers in the Metaverse and signal their independence.

With the belief that everybody deserves their own special place in the metaverse, the name Everyrealm was born. The name represents a spirit of inclusiveness and acts as an invitation for “every” person to shape the metaverse in their own image. Everyrealm is a gateway to the metaverse, much the same way that Netflix is a gateway to streaming video. The company aims to produce and distribute some of the most high-value content for the metaverse in a way that is social, immersive, and interactive — turning a 2D web into a 3D playground using an interface that will foster mainstream adoption. The brand itself needed to be able to flex as a cross between a film and video game development studio as well as a metaverse infrastructure software company.
Shaping the metaverse
At the time, the metaverse was still very much in its infancy. As first-movers in metaverse innovation, we had a responsibility to shape the metaverse so that the massive hype surrounding it actually comes to fruition. So, that’s exactly what we did. From a design stand-point, we sought to elevate the brand beyond pure gaming and introduce a more elevated and sophisticated touch that encouraged diverse audiences to come and see what is going on.
Built to last
The new brand has already achieved a significant milestone with a landmark $60MM Series A financing round, led by Andreessen Horowitz. Other notable investors include Coinbase Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, as well as individual investors Nas, Paris Hilton, Gunna and Mario Götze.
