IMVU Inc., located in Palo Alto, California, ultimately helps users make more friends online and have fun via the combination of the world’s most beautiful and expressive three dimensional ("3D") avatars (a cartoon-like, online alter ego) instant messaging, elements of virtual worlds, and casual gaming. IMVU targets both adults and teens. Users interact with one another via their online avatars, their text messages floating gently above their avatars’ heads in cartoon-strip text bubbles. Users make "buddies" with one another and manage their relationships via their own home pages, groups, public rooms, forums and 1-to-1 chats. Taking a platform approach, IMVU enables thousands of third-party content creators to sell their virtual items (such as clothing for avatars) in IMVU’s online catalog, which currently features over 1.3 million unique items. Over 90% of IMVU’s revenue is from the direct sale of virtual credits, used to purchase virtual goods. Less than 10% of revenue is from advertising. IMVU is backed by Menlo Ventures, Allegis Capital and Bridgescale Partners.
IMVU is pleased to provide employees with a comprehensive benefit package. Benefits include medical and dental insurance, a 401K retirement plan with 20+ investment options, paid holidays, and vacation/paid-time-off.
