“I met Martina soon after she founded the WXR Fund, and then my company, Embodied Labs, was selected to join one of the first WXR founder cohorts. Martina and her partners have fostered a strong community of entrepreneurs through WXR and provided valuable opportunities to gain exposure and funding. As an advisor, Martina draws upon her own experience as an entrepreneur and has helped me to think through strategic challenges we face as an early stage company. WXR is a powerful force for change in the immersive tech industry. I'm glad to be a part of it, and I'm sure Martina and her partners will continue to grow its influence and impact.”
