New CTO/Co-Founder Sally Slade Tapped to Lead Web3/Metaverse-Focused Interactive Division
Today, transmedia startup Voltaku announces the acquisition of Vodcasto, an app that will enable anime super fans (otaku) to puppeteer and livestream avatars from their animated cyberpunk series, Killtopia. This brings Voltaku one step closer to their goal of marrying long-form content, interactive avatars, IP-driven NFTs and digital goods into a mix that lets fans take an active role in the studio’s “living stories.”
“The otaku market is not only underserved, it’s highly interactive,” said Charles Borland, CEO and co-founder of Voltaku. “As the Metaverse and Web3 develop, we can create and monetize experiences that otaku want to engage in, completely outside the Hollywood system. Connecting Vodcasto to our Killtopia community is an important step towards realizing this mission, but it won’t be the last. Other tools are on the way!”
