CODE27, an interactive character technology company, has secured $10.0 million in its latest funding round from leading global investors. The company specializes in developing dedicated hardware to integrate virtual characters into users' daily lives, aiming to transform personal computing through personalized companions. This substantial capital infusion marks a significant step for CODE27 as it continues to advance its unique approach to interactive experiences and expand its technological capabilities.
At its core, CODE27 focuses on bringing beloved characters from anime, games, and original intellectual properties into the physical world. The company collaborates directly with IP holders and creators to develop sophisticated hardware that hosts these virtual companions, positioning them not merely as tools but as interactive entities designed to support users' everyday lives. This innovative strategy aims to foster deeper, more personal connections between fans and their favorite characters.
The $10.0 million in venture funding follows CODE27's prior success in crowdfunding, which saw the company raise $1.9 million on Kickstarter and over ¥149 million on Japan's Makuake platform. This demonstrated early market validation and strong consumer interest has contributed to investor confidence in CODE27's vision and proprietary technology. The newly acquired capital is expected to accelerate product development, expand market reach, and scale operations across its global offices, which include locations in Silicon Valley, Tokyo, and Shenzhen.
With this investment, CODE27 is poised to further its mission of shaping the next chapter of interactive experiences. The company plans to enhance its character technology and hardware offerings, aiming to solidify its position as a leader in the evolving landscape of personal computing and virtual companionship, driving future growth in the sector.
