Mawari Network is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) at the forefront of next-generation spatial computing. The company has successfully raised $10.8 million in a strategic funding round led by Anfield LTD, Borderless Capital, and 1kx. This round was further supported by Accord Ventures, Animoca Brands Japan, Blockchange Ventures, Draper Dragon, iAngels, Mulana Ventures, Parami Investors, Samsung Next, and Waldo Holdings, along with notable angel investors Ivan Brightly, Joshua Frank, Pete Townsend, and Sean Carey.
Investors and operators from both Web2 and Web3 sectors are backing Mawari’s seven-year technological edge in streaming immersive experiences, as well as its bold vision of leveraging decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) to deliver 3D content globally, quickly and cost-effectively. Mawari enables real-time 3D content streaming to spatial computing devices such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Orion AR glasses through a global GPU network, utilizing Web3 elements like DePIN to overcome the limitations of traditional centralized networks. Uniquely positioned to address core challenges in the spatial computing industry—formerly known as extended reality (XR)—Mawari focuses on providing scalable infrastructure for real-time 3D applications. Founded in 2017, Mawari has since launched the Mawari Network—a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN)—the only full-stack spatial computing platform offering decentralized compute and storage resources optimized for AR/VR experiences.
"Every time I see what Mawari is building, I’m reminded of how incredible the future of spatial computing will be," said Sean Carey, co-founder of Helium and partner at Borderless Capital. "Luis and the team have quietly developed real technology over the past seven years, creating a truly impressive system."
"Mawari isn't just an early pioneer in spatial computing—it's also one of the first Web2 companies to successfully harness blockchain and decentralization to drive innovation, boost efficiency, and enhance user experience," said Christopher Heymann, founding partner at 1kx. "They deeply understand the immense potential of decentralized computing in future content delivery, and we’re excited to support them on this journey."
Mawari will use the newly raised funds to expand into new markets. The team will continue refining its spatial streaming SDK and investing heavily in R&D to maintain its competitive edge in decentralized spatial computing. Additionally, Mawari will scale its business development efforts to reach more customers and markets as spatial computing devices and programming grow across Asia and the Americas.
"Our vision has always been to bring immersive experiences to everyone, and this investment will enable our platform to serve a broader community who can build the 3D internet with us," said Luis Oscar Ramirez, founder and CEO of Mawari.
Mawari, a pioneer in 3D streaming, holds three granted patents with 11 more pending. It currently serves 40 clients, including global brands such as T-Mobile, Sapporo, KDDI, Netflix, and BMW. Initially self-funded with an average annual revenue of $1.5 million, Mawari plans to launch node licensing in Q4 2024 to decentralize and expand its spatial computing network.
Mawari’s solution consists of two key components: the Spatial Streaming SDK and the Mawari Network. The Spatial Streaming SDK is a powerful toolkit designed to seamlessly integrate with popular development environments like Unity and Unreal Engine. It allows creators to focus on what they do best—producing engaging and innovative content—without worrying about backend complexities.
Meanwhile, the Mawari Network is a decentralized, GPU-based content delivery network purpose-built for spatial computing. It leverages a globally distributed network of GPU nodes strategically located close to end users to ensure low latency and optimal performance. This architecture enables efficient distribution and scaling of spatial content, delivering seamless, high-quality experiences to users worldwide.
