Cosmos Video secures $2.6 million in seed funding from LocalGlobe, with participation from Entrepreneur First and angel investors.

Cosmos Video, a London, UK-based developer of a virtual office platform for connecting people in a social way, announced that it raised $2.6 million in capital funding.

The money was raised from investors led by LocalGlobe, with participation from Entrepreneur First, Andy Chung and Philipp Moehring (AngelList), and Omid Ashtari.

Cosmos Video, founded in 2020 by Rahul Goyal and Karan Baweja, developed a software tool that allows users to create virtual venues by combining game mechanics with video chat. The venues are created by combining game mechanics with video chat to bring back serendipitous interactions when people can’t be together physically. After choosing their personalised avatar, people can meet up with their colleagues or friends inside a browser-based game. As they move their avatars closer to one another they can video chat amongst themselves, like in real-life.
