My TRUTH Story:
1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON TO A CROWD OF 10,000+ PEOPLE? Andre Weinhold is a visionary born in the '80s with a passion for gaming ignited by classics like C64, NES, and SNES. His journey began when he started programming games in the late '90s, and after school, he pursued an education in the IT industry while collaborating with friends on games like 'Glider Collect'n Kill.' This game, which he co-created, stands as a testament to his early passion for game development and his collaborative spirit.
As he gained experience in large enterprise software projects, he accumulated the resources to follow his dream. In 2013, he recognized the perfect moment to create a VR presentation App: Virtofy.
Today, Andre continues to live his dream, driven by the unwavering support of his community, as he strives to create a VR presentation App that will leave a lasting mark for years to come.
