About Us

Meet Agora World

‘Agora’ refers to the ancient Greek city-centers that doubled as a marketplace and a place of assembly for citizens. It was where democracy was born.

Today, the internet acts as our Agora - the world’s central place for commerce and the spread of information. However, one element remains elusive on the Internet... meaningful social interactions.

Let’s face it. Genuinely connecting with others virtually is difficult.

That’s why we are building Agora World. A simple platform that empowers you to bring people together online in your own custom, immersive experience.

So what are you waiting for? Build your Agora today!
