These roles indicate the coming together of both gaming and commerce in the SPACE platform.

SPACE founder and CEO Batis Samadian commented,

SPACE was started by a group that brought together experience from top VR, crypto, and e-commerce projects. This strong team, and 360* experience, allowed us to ship products and grow in just 6 months. Now, this feeds into the ability to bring the next wave of phenomenal team members on board. We are very excited about new key personalities with experience from Call of Duty, Dash NEXT, and CD Projekt Red. We expect to have more big team announcements in the coming months.

SPACE has accomplished many milestones since its launch in 2021, which include a successful $7 million private funding round from notable investors like Dapper Labs, Animoca brands, and Coinfund and its early adopter rollout to the first 10,000 users. 2022 will likely see a dramatic expansion of SPACE across both users and the internal team. Watch this space for more big-name hires in the months ahead.
