About YouTopia

Youtopia is the worlds 1st Human Interspace. Explained in 3 pillars:

About the team

• We are a tight knit group. Some of us go back over 10+ years.
• We value honest feedback, being mission driven and pursuing hard challenges.
• We believe in giving you the agency and creative freedom to bring your best work forward.

Opportunity

• We have been approached by various investors and rejected their offers to preserve team equity and maintain a great work culture.

• Closest product competitors would be Meta, X, Roblox, Google chrome and Steam for discovery platforms, social media platforms and Creation platforms.

• When we launched ChronoCraft alpha release (a game we are planning to release inside of YouTopia) we built relationships with youtubers from Minecraft, MMO and Roblox communities (totaling millions of followers). We currently have a community of Alpha backers, playtesters and people awaiting launch.

• We are receiving council from our private network of investors and founders for our funding and go-to-market strategy.

• Pre-funding engineers will receive 1%-4% equity and $20k supplemental salary working part time. After funding, developers will initially earn 50k-200k salaries full time. This is your chance to get meaningful equity before salary dispersements when we secure funding.
