Best Virtual Reality Companies in United States
The 1163 best Virtual Reality companies in United States in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Fabula.
Here are the 1,163 Virtual Reality companies tracked in the United States, ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum. $6.0 billion in total disclosed capital sits behind this directory, and that number alone tells you this isn't a hobbyist sector.
The [global VR market was valued at roughly $17.2 billion in 2020 and is projected to compound at 29.5% annually](https://appleworld.today/2025/01/virtual-reality-market-predicted-to-grow-by-133-billion-through-2027/), which means the money moving through these 1,163 companies is chasing something real. zSpace leads our directory at $79 million in disclosed funding, with Avegant close behind at $67 million and Virtuix Omni at $43 million. Three unicorns round out the top of the field. I'd note that enterprise and assistive applications are where momentum is quietly concentrating right now, with smart glasses and enterprise glasses emerging as the hottest adjacent themes. And Meta's acquisition of Within signaled early that consolidation would follow capital. So what does that mean for the smaller filers here? Watch the investors: Boost VC, Techstars, and Colopl Next are the most active backers in this dataset, and their portfolio patterns tend to preview which verticals get the next wave.
