EU STARTUPS - Dec 14 - Cosmos Video, a London-based virtual venues platform which allows people to work, hang out, and socialize together, has raised ~€2.2M in seed funding from Europe's leading seed investors, LocalGlobe with participation from Entrepreneur First, Andy Chung and Phillip Moehring (AngelList), and Omid Ashtari (ex-President, Citymapper). Founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneurs Rahul Goyal and Karan Baweja this year, who recently led product teams at Citymapper and TransferWise respectively, Cosmos is on a mission to enable human connection in the remote era. Cosmos is creating virtual venues by combining game mechanics with video chat to bring back serendipitous interactions when people can't be together physically by using a personalized avatar. Cosmos is currently being used in private beta by a select group of companies to host their offices and for social events such as Christmas parties.
