BUD - powering imagination through a 3D creation platform

BUD is a leading global metaverse UGC platform encouraging users to create and share 3D interactive experiences with its easy-to-use creation tools. Since its global launch in November 2021, BUD skyrocketed to the list of top 10 social apps in more than 38 countries around the world including North America, Southeast Asia and South America. With the right mix of technology and art, BUD greatly fulfills Gen Z's desire for entertainment, creation and sharing. It is becoming a preferred platform for Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha to socialize in 3D immersive worlds. In addition to customizing unique avatars, users can also create and explore millions of experiences ranging from hangout places to battle royale games.

The mobile-native creation tools require no prior coding knowledge. Without providing any preset 3D templates, BUD allows creators to build 3D experiences from scratch by using geometric modules and interactive props. Apart from adding texts, pictures, music and videos to enrich experiences, lighting and sky-box can be adjusted as well to create an immersive environment.

Many aesthetic scenes and interactive experiences in BUD can look like they were created by  professional PC software by professionals. But BUD’s users are young and digital natives, who do not have any coding experience but are creative and  self-expressive.  

BUD was founded in 2019 by former Snap engineers, Risa Feng and Shawn Lin. They have raised a total of $36.8M in funding.
