It is understood that in July this year, the second World completed a $5 million round of financing, led by Genesis partner CCV, and followed by the old shareholders. At present, the second World has completed two rounds of financing of nearly 10 million US dollars in three months in a row.

Second World was founded in November 2016, initially as a cross-dimensional IP operation company, focusing on pan-entertainment and cross-circle carriers for content development. Officially entered the "Virtual Human" track in 2018, and created many benchmark cases in the industry in many dimensions, such as "Star Virtual Image", "Super realistic Virtual Human" (Ling, Nan Mengxia, Ask, etc.), and "Brand Digital IP Image Development" (IDo Jewelry, Huaxizi, Yili, etc.).

For this financing, NetEase, Inc investor Wan Fangda said, "the second generation, as the head target of the domestic virtual human track, has been very active in exploring the transformation of upstream cutting-edge technology into downstream diversified and rich application scenarios." We very much look forward to their next major breakthrough in virtual human immersion interaction and business model. "

Chen Yan, founder of the second World, said that next, in addition to continuing to build a diverse virtual human IP matrix, it will also comprehensively promote the intelligence and scene of the virtual human, and carry out "ecological interoperability" with virtual human as the carrier with multiple platforms, including investor NetEase, Inc.

Chen Yan also said that the second World has established strategic cooperation with a number of domestic technology companies and scene platforms, including Xiaobing, and will launch more intelligent and scene-based products of virtual human IP one after another.

The virtual human track will break out in a real sense." Chen Yan said.
