IRL

IRL, founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, United States, raised $200 million in total funding and reached a $1.17 billion valuation before shutting down in 2023. Its Series C round of $170 million, led by SoftBank Vision Fund, propelled it to unicorn status. The app allowed users to organize, share, and discover real-world and virtual events. Backed by investors like Dragoneer and Founders Fund, IRL grew rapidly by focusing on event-based social interaction before ceasing operations.
