About

Layer operates a managed marketplace aggregating and automatically matching IP rights owners with licensees, offering insights and tools to assess and standardize licensing workflows for games and metaverse.

Mission

Layer operates a managed marketplace that aggregates and automatically matches IP rights owners and licensees to simplify licensing for games and metaverse projects. The platform provides data insights and tools to help participants assess opportunities and standardise transaction workflows, addressing friction in bespoke, manual licensing deals. Layer was built quickly by founders Rachit Moti and Chris Illuk, who developed an MVP and entered Startmate in August 2021. The team is actively hiring and onboarding IP and game owners at pace as part of their go-to-market push. Layer raised AU$3,888,888 in a Seed financing round to support product development and growth. Aura Ventures highlighted founder-market fit and the founders' domain experience as reasons for backing the company.
