| Cloudworx | Going through tons of graphs, charts, and dashboards is very cumbersome and painful for business owners. That's why they are adopting the Enterprise Metaverse in the form of Digital twins. From a survey conducted by Gartner, 75% of businesses want to implement digital twins, but only 13% have implemented it so far; the other 62% have it ontheir roadmap but find it hard or don't have the direct skill set in the team to implement it. After all, it's not a simple task to create a working, scalable, and living virtual replica of your factories in 3D. It's really complicated, requires a specialized 3D development team and specialized engineers to do the job; thus out of the reach of many businesses. This is where we step in to bridge the gap by bringing the capabilities of NoCode into a 3D workspace that allows businesses to build 3D apps without writing any code or having to depend on a 3D team. | $60K | Seed | Oct 13, 2022 |  |
