Building the Metaverse Megadeck

I compiled a lot of the prescriptions, observations and vision for the metaverse that I’ve written over the last few months and compiled it into the following slide deck. This will give you a whirlwind tour of the value-chain of the metaverse industry, the megatrends driving it, and over 160 companies that are involved in building the metaverse. Enjoy…and pass along!
