Updates with non-disclosure of investors in paragraphs 1-2
Jan 8 (Reuters) - Augmented reality-focused startup Infinite Reality said on Wednesday it had achieved a valuation of $12.25 billion after raising $3 billion in a new funding round, without disclosing the names of the investors involved.
Infinite Reality, which was founded in 2019, said the new fundraising was from a "private investor whose portfolio focuses on global technology and real estate investments".
The company has previously tried to go public through a special purpose acquisition company Newbury Street Acquisition, but did not end up being listed.
Infinite Reality said it uses immersive technologies to offer a suite of services to brands and creators that can increase audience engagement and monetization.
Past investors in the company include entertainment and ticketing giant Live Nation LYV.N, T-Mobile Ventures, RSE Ventures and Lux Capital, among others.
