Our story
In 2004, Santtu Parikka founded Fake Production, a VR and gaming studio that won multiple awards for animation.
In recent years, as our passion for all things VR/AR has grown, we’ve been drawn to an important challenge: to enable people thousands of miles apart to collaborate effectively in virtual environments, just as they might in a real physical setting.
In 2016, Santtu and our CXO Juha Ruistola revealed the first multi-user VR prototypes. These proved an instant hit. A year later, as we crystallized our new mission, vision and strategy, Glue was born.
Since then, our 30-strong team has continued to build on our legacy and break new ground in multi-user VR software, developing Glue into the fully-featured virtual collaboration platform we are today.
In May 2024 Glue was successfully acquired by Hyperspace, continuing the mission of bringing teams together for delightful and productive experiences across the globe.
A word from the founders
Danny Stefanic
Chairman
“Glue’s impact is huge. We’re boosting engagement by cutting down on corporate travel at the same time as helping employees cultivate a sense of belonging. Companies can save money, reduce emissions and build relationships.”
Santtu Parikka
Founder
“If a team is relying on technology to bring them together, then the technology must work flawlessly. The interaction must be frictionless. This is what we’re optimizing for at Glue.”
Juha Ruistola
Founder
“When we place people together in a virtual room, what they see and hear as well as what they can touch and manipulate must combine to elicit the feeling that they are there with others ー even when there is great physical distance between them.”
