We’re ReadySet
We make a virtual reality software for manufacturers and brands to innovate with a vision of creating a better retail experience for everyone.
Our Story
ReadySet was founded in 2020 due to the growing needs and interests of CPG clientele in using more advanced virtual reality technology to carry out project initiatives and research.
Today, we have an established team of modelers, developers, designers, marketers and salespeople that are passionate about improving the lives of businesses and consumers through technological innovation.
ReadySet is a subsidiary of Wild Blue Technologies, a strategic design company that establishes strong relationships with Fortune 500 CPGs to local startups through assisting in the design of their products, communications, innovation centers, and experiences.
