Peer Raises $10.5M to Expand AI-Powered Metaverse Engine

Peer Global Inc. has raised $10.5 million in a new funding round, increasing its total investment to $65.5 million.

The funding, led by The Family Office of Tommy Mai, will be directed toward expanding Peer’s development team, enhancing its artificial intelligence capabilities, and refining its metaverse platform.

The company has introduced 3D personal planets, which allow users to create and customise digital spaces for social interaction. This initiative is intended to provide users with a more interactive virtual environment, moving beyond traditional static content.

What is Peer?

Peer is a technology platform that integrates AI to create interactive digital environments.

Unlike conventional social media, which primarily relies on passive content consumption, Peer emphasizes real-time user engagement. Founder Tony Tran has described the platform as a “social interface where AI operates at full potential” and is designed to offer an alternative to existing social networks.

Peer’s metaverse engine provides tools for developers to build AI-generated digital environments. The AI framework automates aspects of content creation, reducing the complexity of development and making it more accessible to a broader range of users.

The platform is also structured to support interoperability to ensure that virtual spaces within the Peer system are interconnected.

What’s next for Peer?

Peer has outlined several monetization strategies, including:

• Virtual Property Sales – Users can purchase and personalize digital spaces.
• Paid Experiences – Certain experiences and features may require payment.
• Subscription Tiers – Users may access additional features through tiered plans.
• AI-Driven Advertising – Digital advertisements customized for individual users.

Peer is preparing for an Early Access launch, which will provide users, developers, and businesses an opportunity to test its AI-powered virtual spaces.
