IMVU is an online social networking website. The company was founded in 2004 by Will Harvey, Eric Ries, Marcus Gosling, and Matt Danzig. During the launch, the company was backed by venture investors, Menlo Ventures, AllegisCyber Capital, Bridgescale Partners, and Best Buy Capital. The company is publicly-owned. The Chief Executive Officer is Daren Tsui. The headquarters are located in Redwood City, CA. Though many people think otherwise, the company’s name is neither an acronym or an initialism. The name is meaningless and does not stand for anything at all.

IMVU uses 3-D avatars to meet new people, chat, create, and play games. There are currently over 6 million users on the website, making the website the largest virtual reality network. You must be at least 13 years of age to sign up on the website. You can sign up with your email address or with your Facebook account. Once you have signed up and verified your email address, you are able to customize your avatar. You can choose between male or female, and change the look and outfit of the avatar. Once your avatar is created and named, you can join the fun. The 3-D experience allows you to connect and chat with other members on the website. There are millions of people on the website for you to communicate with.
