With a new focus on designing virtual reality for employee training, Alchemy Learning is a member of the latest class of the Techstarsaccelerator in Boulder, Colo.
The company started in edtech, and got its first experience designing a VR environment for the classroom during a pilot with the International Neuroscience Network Foundation. That gave the team experience using Unity game engine to design for virtual reality, and seeing how the tool could be used to enhance learning. But ultimately, they identified a wider potential market of VR experiences to add experiential learning to corporate training or professional development.
“We’re very proud of some of the platforms and experiences we created, but this is an opportunity where we can put some of that prior knowledge and experience, but the opportunity is significantly larger,” cofounder Henry Bluesaid by phone from Boulder, where he and cofounders Win Smith and Jonathan Wilson will be located for the next three months along with 10 other startups. The other part of the team will remain at the company’s offices in South Baltimore. Blue said the three cofounders plan to return to the city after the accelerator program is complete.
