“The fundraise and valuation achieved by Infinite Reality is very pleasing, with a significant “war chest” for the Business to maintain its growth strategy. This news bodes well for the future realisation of our investment.
It also serves as a reminder to investors that the portfolio of fund 1 is now in exit mode as the companies begin to mature. We look forward to updating the market on further exits in the future and rewarding long-term and loyal shareholders”.
