Photos and videos capture moments. But can a platform built to turn memories into immersive 3D experiences convince investors it belongs in the future of social media?
In this episode of Capital Calling, William Yeh, Founder and CEO of Braintrance, pitches a spatial social platform built around sharing and experiencing 3D memories across devices. Braintrance enables users to capture their lives in three dimensions using point clouds, with or without LiDAR, and share those memories across mobile, desktop, VR headsets, and AR glasses. The company is building at the intersection of consumer social, spatial computing, and creator tools, with a product designed to make immersive content easier to create, easier to share, and more native to the next generation of devices. Through the American Frontier Fund accelerator and the viral Founders, Inc. studio cohort, Will has built Braintrance in public, gaining attention for technology that feels reminiscent of the immersive world imagined in Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One.
Across the table, investors Michelle Kwok of Draper Associates, Michael Nogen of Overton Venture Capital, and Vansh Langer of Pioneer Fund engage with the pitch as it unfolds. They assess whether 3D memories can become a mainstream consumer behavior, how Braintrance differentiates itself in the spatial computing and social media landscape, what distribution could look like for a new content format, and whether an early product with cross-device utility and viral potential can scale into a venture-backed platform.
