At 18, he was selling computer hardware in India. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Years later, he moved to Silicon Valley and started building companies nobody understood. Meet Cix, the entrepreneur behind LIV, YUR, and now a completely new kind of sport. ๐Ÿฅฝ๐Ÿค– He started YUR, a VR fitness company, got rejected repeatedly, and eventually stepped down as CEO in 2020. Then he made an even crazier bet. What if VR wasn't just something you watched? ๐Ÿ‘€ What if you could control the sport itself? ๐ŸŽฎ While Meta was trying to get people into VR, Cix started building physical sports controlled through virtual reality. ๐Ÿฅฝโšก People laughed. Then his events started selling out. ๐Ÿ”ฅ A five-city U.S. tour sold out. His Temple nightclub event reportedly sold nearly 3,400 tickets despite a 2,500-person capacity. He even staged robot fights at the headquarters of OpenAI and xAI. ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’ฅ And Elon Musk has said robot battles would be entertaining to watch. ๐Ÿš€ Cix didn't invent VR. He changed what people could do with it. Is this the future of sports, or just another crazy tech experiment? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Comment โ€œREKโ€ below and Iโ€™ll send you the full breakdown of how he built it. #Cix #REK #VR #Robotics #ElonMusk #Meta #OpenAI #xAI #FutureOfSports #Technology #markzuckerberg
