Business Development Manager (U.S. Market)

What if you could see your favorite artist right in front of you — even closer than the front row? 😎 AMAZE is a platform company that produces and distributes VR concerts that turn this imagination into reality. Through VR concerts, fans feel closer to their artists than ever before and experience the thrill of a live show as if it were happening right in front of them.

🚀 Our Technology AMAZE was founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by members of Kakao's early core team. Built on our proprietary VR technology, we have since grown into a leading global VR company. Our in-house technologies — hyper-real 8K live-action capture, an Unreal Engine–based VR VFX pipeline, AI upscaling, AI relighting, and AI keying — deliver remarkable experiences to fans around the world.

🚀 Funding To date, AMAZE has raised a total of $50.8 million from investors including Mirae Asset Capital, CJ ENM, LG Technology Ventures, and Smilegate Investment. Most recently, we secured content financing and have continued to scale rapidly while developing groundbreaking VR experiences.

🚀 Artists Our first major project was the 'Enter Thee Hottiverse' VR concert tour with three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion, which ran successfully across 17 major U.S. cities in the first half of 2022 and set a new standard for VR entertainment. In July 2022, we formed a joint venture with SM Entertainment to produce VR concerts for K-POP artists such as aespa and EXO's KAI, which premiered at Megabox in Seoul. Since 2024, we have produced VR concerts with K-POP artists including TOMORROW X TOGETHER, CHA EUN-WOO, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, TWS, LE SSERAFIM, and &TEAM, touring beyond Korea to audiences worldwide — with even more VR concert releases coming in 2026.

Through our collaborations with K-POP artists, AMAZE is building a music metaverse platform where fans around the world can connect with artists more closely than ever. We are connecting fans and artists in an entirely new way and opening a new era of entertainment.
