In this episode: We interview Christophe Mallet, who is the CEO & co-founder of Bodyswaps, a VR platform that brings realistic simulations and AI-enabled feedback to soft skills training for educational institutions and corporate clients. Christophe has long experience in the immersive technologies and digital marketing fields and is based in London, UK.
We talk about: The hype and opportunity in immersive education, their partnership with Meta, the go to market strategies for education institutions vs corporates and generative AI opportunities plus lots more.
Outtakes:
- The issue for a wannabe SaaS business like us is that the higher the buy-in, the less likely they are to buy off the shelf.
- And right now, there's a lot of government money in grants. How are we gonna use immersive learning to improve remote education and access to education for people on the other side of Digital Divide?
- Right now, 2023, we have crossed the chasm in education. So when we have a conversation with institutions, we are not talking about why VR. It's never why VR anymore. It's always how. And now we are entering the phase of mutualization of use cases and scaling.
- The day the company changed for us is the day we realized that if we are VR geeks trying to do education, that's not gonna work.
- And we found that the best driver for us, for new business is the advocacy of our own clients.
