Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey, the visionaries behind VRChat, have transformed the landscape of social virtual reality since its inception in 2014. The two co-founded VRChat to pioneer the most social VR experience, and with their experience—Gaylor's in mobile and web applications and Joudrey's in gaming and VR development—fueled VRChat's creation, turning it into a platform that has enabled users to interact as 3D avatars within user-created worlds.

The platform has not only expanded the boundaries of social interaction in virtual spaces but has also established VRChat as a leading platform in VR entertainment, marked by a community-driven approach to content creation. Their contributions over the years have significantly influenced the VR industry, making VRChat a central hub for immersive, social experiences in virtual reality.
