Angel Funds for New MR Platform ThoughtWorld

In the US, market research and social media platform ThoughtWorld has closed a $2m angel investor round from unnamed sources, which it will use to continue building infrastructure, add to its stream of art using the company's patent-pending 3D technology, and establish an active user base.

Founded earlier this year by practicing attorney Robert Ming (pictured), ThoughtWorld provides an online space through which people can anonymously share their thoughts and see what others think. The platform is designed to look and feel like a 3D gaming environment and this graphical 3D world shows how ideas relate to each other, with popular votes rising in altitude and unpopular votes falling. Alpha testing opened to the general public last month.

The funding values the company at $10m and Ming comments: 'Our investors have given us the capital to build a world unlike any other, a world of thought. Now, we get to see how the public will shape that world.'
