VShojo announces $11 million funding round as VTuber agency expands VShojoVTuber company VShojo, the biggest based outside of Japan, has announced it\u2019s raised $11 million in funding to keep pushing their brand \u2014 plus their eight stars \u2014 further. The funding will go towards expanding VShojo\u2019s content both virtually and in real life. VShojo has taken over Twitch as its premier VTuber group. Its talents have a combined following of more than four million on the platform, with leader Ironmouse amassing more than a million by herself thanks to her recent subathon. However, the company has big plans to expand even further in 2022. VShojo has announced it has successfully raised $11 million in funding from a number of venture capitalists to help push its content forward. This includes growing the VTuber group\u2019s presence both online and in real life. \u201cVTubers are the future of the content creator industry,\u201d VShojo CEO Justin \u2018theGunrun\u2019 Ignacio said. \u201cSince the medium is built upon animated personas, it is more accessible and scalable than being a traditional creator, especially as the technology becomes more widespread. \u201cWe are now in a better position to support and grow talent in this market with more innovative technology, extensive promotion, and the ability to assist with content creation and distribution.\u201d Ironmouse previously revealed VShojo was set to expand in 2022 with more members hopping onboard. The $11 million will go a long way to help that, but the company\u2019s sights are also set higher. They want to bring VShojo to anime and gaming conventions across the world \u201cin order to expand visibility for the VTuber community.\u201d The company has also professed a \u201cnew gameplan\u201d to try and give creators more resources to develop new content in the space. This includes lore videos, something that is gaining traction in the VTuber community, especially since the debut of Bubi, which Ironmouse participated in. VShojo recently celebrated their first anniversary in November 2021 and raised more than $100,000 for Project HOPE in a March charity stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
