About
We’re building a new kind of space that fuses nature and immersive tech to spark environmental empathy and inspire a culture of conservation. We are reimagining how people connect with the wild — ushering in a new future for environmental education.
Impact
Our goal: accelerating human-nature culture change. Earth is sick because of our attitudes toward our environment and other species. 800M people visit zoos each year. If we can inspire the model to change through example, we can change the world.
Progress
We are born from a multi award-winning, 11 year-running immersive-nature studio. We have secured a prime 1200sqm exhibit space, and raised some funding - but not enough to establish a full pilot space, experiences, and the costs of assessing impact.
Team
Our team is the most experienced immersive nature storytelling group in the world. We know how to build on our 11 years’ experience of fostering empathy for 1M+ people, & how to maximize the impact of immersive environmental stories at scale.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
