Wikipedia Draft:SideQuest VR

SideQuestVR is a Belfast based VR content website and app that allows users to sideload additional VR content onto the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 that is typically unavailable, or not possible to do, from directly within the VR headset.

Timeline of Events
SideQuest was launched in 2019 by husband and wife game developers and co-founders Shane and Orla Harris. Available as an app on PC, Mac, and android devices, SideQuest offers enhanced functionality of the Oculus Quest and Quest 2 for both general users and app developers. Developers can upload their app as a listing available for sideloading through SideQuest, or alternatively as an App Lab listing, allowing for pre-release playtesting, feedback and community building. Users can access this non-Quest Store or early-access content and install directly on to their VR headset.

At the beginning of 2020, SideQuest joined the Ignite NI accelerator programme, successfully raising $650,000 in pre-seed round funding. With notable investors like Palmer Luckey the founder of Oculus VR, Boost VC and The Fund. Palmer Luckey said of his investment: "I am investing in SideQuest because I believe in their vision for VR development and distribution. No HMD manufacturer should have a stranglehold on the VR ecosystem or unilateral control over what people run on their VR headsets, and when I look at SideQuest, I see the spirit of Oculus Share."

Ending 2020 with over 1 million active monthly users, the platform sought out further funding in order to grow the team to more than just Orla and Shane Harris. This seed-round of funding saw SideQuest valued at $10m, with the company successfully raising $3m in funding from notable Venture Capitalist's like PROfounders, Ada Ventures and Connect Ventures.
