IMVU is an avatar-based social metaverse platform co-founded by Will Harvey and Eric Ries that operates one of the largest virtual creator economies in the web3 space. IMVU's Twitter Score is 9.3 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #100,535 among 493,668 tracked accounts.
IMVU was co-founded by Will Harvey and Eric Ries and has grown into a social platform centered on avatar customization, virtual destinations, and a transferable in-platform currency called VCOIN. VCOIN is sold at a fixed rate of 250 VCOIN for $1.00 and can be withdrawn to Uphold accounts. In 2020, SEC staff issued a no-action letter regarding the offer and sale of VCOIN under specific conditions, though this did not constitute a determination that VCOIN was not a security.
IMVU operates as a platform under its parent company Together Labs, which the organization reformed under in 2021 following a strategic investment. IMVU previously integrated Immutable X, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, for NFT functionality, but removed the blockchain component in 2026, rebranding those products as in-platform Limited Edition items. IMVU was previously affiliated with MetaJuice, its former web3 and token-focused subsidiary. IMVU has been backed by investors including Menlo Ventures, Allegis Capital, Bridgescale Partners, Best Buy Capital, Structural Capital, and NetEase.
IMVU has published 10,546 posts on the platform and has 70,460 followers as of October 2026. IMVU has been mentioned by 38 accounts, with 258 total mentions.
