What Multiverse does

Multiverse is a web-based game creation system inspired by Dungeons & Dragons and Roblox with a marketplace for assets from A-list creators. We've already partnered with several prominent creators who have millions of followers and millions in revenue, and they're bringing their audiences to Multiverse. We charge 30-60% of those sales based on how much we help the creators make the content. Check out our [gameplay trailer here]( The best way to get Multiverse is to play it. If you're into games, creativity and representation, hit us up and we'll play with you.

Web-based game creation inspired by D&D and Roblox

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a web-based game creation platform that lets users create games inspired by Dungeons & Dragons and Roblox. It also includes a marketplace where creators, many with large followings, sell assets and content. We take 30-60% of their sales, depending on how much support we provide. The goal is to give creators tools to build and monetize rich interactive worlds online.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Boston, MA and also work remotely. After YC, the company would remain based in Boston and continue supporting remote work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Boston is our base because it's where all three founders reside. Our team also works remotely, which keeps us flexible and allows us to tap into talent outside the city.
