Profile

Vinci Games (YC S22) is building the next generation of social multiplayer VR games.

Our first title, Blacktop Hoops, became one of the highest-rated sports games on Meta Quest with a passionate global community and critical acclaim.

Our second title, Ruffnauts, is already one of the fastest growing F2P releases of 2025 on Meta Quest, with 30K+ reviews at 4.9 stars in its first month of Alpha Early Access. Ruffnauts combines creature catching, chaotic physics, and Gorilla Tag style locomotion into a groundbreaking VR adventure.

The company is led by CEO Nathaniel Ventura (ex-Oculus, Google, Meta) and CTO Maciej Szcześnik, former lead gameplay designer at CD Projekt Red for The Witcher series. Our mission is to create genre-defining VR experiences that bring millions of players together.

Within the consumer space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Its base of operations is Berkeley, CA, USA; Remote.

The company is listed at the Summer 2022 stage of development.

The company reports a headcount in the 7 range.
