Suggesting Title change
Because of the structure of the company and how its identified in the public domain, I suggest changing the title from "Genies, Inc" to simply "Genies" SamuelMoralez (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:47, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Updating 2 Numbers
 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello editors! Genies has hired me to update its Wikipedia page. I'd like to start with two numbers. What do you think?
1. Valuation
The “funding” section says that Genies is “valued at over $100 million.” The source for this claim is an article from 2017. We’d like to update the number to $1 billion.
The source for $1B is a New York Times article from 2022, which says, “The investment values Genies at $1 billion” (“Private equity jumps into the metaverse with an investment in a $1 billion avatar company”).
2. Funds Raised
The “funding” section says that Genies “has raised $40 million.” The source for this claim is an article from 2019. We’d like to update the number to $250 million. Here’s the math:
In 2019, Genies’ total funding was $40M (see “Billionaires Jim Breyer and Thomas Tull Lead $15 Million Bet That Genies’ Avatars Will Be Next Big Thing In Social,” Forbes).
In 2021, Genies raised another $65M (see “Avatar startup Genies scores $65 million in funding round led by Mary Meeker’s Bond,” TechCrunch).
In 2022, Genies raised another $150M (see “Genies raises $150M at over $1B valuation for metaverse avatars,” VentureBeat).
$40M + $65M + $150M = $255M.
Thank you.
