Dream Reality Interactive (DRI) is a software development company that builds interactive programmes and games across the full spectrum of immersive platforms and devices. DRI is in a soft launch of its mobile Augmented Reality (AR) karaoke game, Singheads, with the full launch expected in late June. DRI is partnering with Snapchat to leverage its 229 million daily active users towards this objective. The game offers players a new song to sing every day, and the unique business model opens the mobile karaoke market to ad-funded play. AR avatar heads powered by Bitmojoi (similar to Apple’s highly valued Memoji) significantly enhance the user experience. The company will use the investment to further develop its game. It will exit by being a catalyst in launching a successful number of games and eventually be acquired by a global platform such as Snapchat, Apple, Tik Tok, or by a global video games company such as Electronic Arts, Zynga, Activision, Tencent or NetEase.

Koble claims that its data-driven Software as a Service (SaaS) tool helps accelerators and incubators streamline their selection process so they can focus on the most promising founders. The company's vision is to price early-stage startup risk and reward. It intends to move from a Software as a Service (SaaS) workflow tool to the startup-investor marketplace. Koble asserts that pre-seed and seed investors lack a quantitative approach in the early stage of recognising promising startups. Koble argues that its approach is different; it claims that its algorithms are built to mimic the decision processes (both analytical and intuitive) that humans go through when analysing a startup. The tool collects structured, well-tagged data that is not available in the public domain and power the first algorithms that can predict startup success. The company envisages three exit options, namely launching an IPO, avail buyout offers from big technology entities and avail buyout offers from financial buyers.

If we can prove that the energy is there and can be economically accessed we will have increased our value 600 fold and be sitting on blocks valued at $6.5bn/£4bn.
