London, United Kingdom & Dubai, UAE – June 01, 2025

Exarta, a pioneering immersive internet startup transforming e-commerce and social interaction through AI-driven 3D platforms, today announced its strategic partnership with FasterCapital through the LaunchUp program. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in accelerating Exarta’s mission to redefine digital experiences globally, leveraging FasterCapital’s extensive resources and expertise to scale innovation across e-commerce, social media, and Web3 ecosystems.

Addressing a Growing Market Opportunity
The immersive internet market is poised for explosive growth, driven by rising demand for personalized digital interactions, AI-powered content, and 3D commerce. With over 4.95 billion global internet users and a serviceable market exceeding one billion social media users, e-commerce businesses, and digital creators, the opportunity is vast. Traditional platforms fall short in delivering immersive, interactive experiences—limiting user engagement and purchase confidence. Exarta is uniquely positioned to fill this gap by offering scalable, seamless solutions that integrate AI avatars, customizable 3D pods, and a dynamic digital marketplace, setting a new standard in immersive social networking and commerce.

Exarta’s Innovative Solution and Market Differentiation
Exarta’s flagship Platform 3 ecosystem combines Odyssey Infinite (a 3D store creation tool), The Digital Bazaar (an AI-powered 3D asset marketplace), and Zeniva AI Avatars to enable businesses and creators to build immersive, customizable digital experiences. Pods.Social further enhances user engagement by offering personalized 3D social spaces with AI companions and real-time event streaming. Unlike existing solutions, Exarta’s technology emphasizes seamless integration, scalability, and brand alignment, validated by early traction and strong customer testimonials from global brands. This positions Exarta as a defensible leader in the immersive internet space, bridging Web 2.0 limitations and shaping future digital commerce and social interaction.

Strategic Partnership with FasterCapital
Through the LaunchUp program, Exarta gains access to FasterCapital’s global network, capital-raising expertise, and tailored acceleration resources designed for high-potential tech startups. FasterCapital’s rigorous selection process underscores Exarta’s innovative strength and market readiness. This partnership will fast-track product development, expand go-to-market strategies, and enhance investor engagement, positioning Exarta for rapid scaling and leadership in the immersive internet sector over the next 12-18 months.
