THEY WANT TO SCOOP UP ALL THE VR TALENT BEFORE THE COMPETITION DOES
HTC announced today that it's taking applications for an accelerator program focused on virtual reality innovation.
Accelerators like HTC's Vive X offer monetary and non-monetary assistance to startups to incubate their ideas. Competitive programs like Y Combinator take the best seed ideas and fund them toward success, in exchange for a share of equity. Think Shark Tank with tech ideas. HTC's Vive X works the same way, but focuses on developing VR ideas, apps, and games.
HTC released its $800 Vive VR headset earlier this month. The company is now hoping to bring together talent in the field with accelerator offices in Taipei, Beijing, and San Francisco.
Vive X is open to all applicants who have a passion and an idea in mind to help HTC take the lead in the virtual reality market.
