Dave Haynes joins Vive as the Director of VIVE X Europe
As HTC announce an expansion of their VR/AR accelerator program to European startups, they bring in Dave Haynes to oversee the expansion.
Dave Haynes was previously at Seedcamp and was part of the Soundcloud startup where he led business development. Vive X initially comes to London but will welcome applications from Europe including key cities like Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. This expansion joins existing locations like Taipei, Beijing, San Francisco and tel Aviv.
A word from Dave:
I’m thrilled to be joining the team at HTC Vive. Vive X is the most active investor in VR startups, and establishing a base in Europe for the first time is an important step. Companies here are already applying immersive technologies to solve valuable problems across sectors such as health, education, design and we’re excited to back the world-class talent that Europe has to offer
If you want to apply for Vive X in Europe you can do so through here.

Nick is an avid video game entusiast and has been since his mum first allowed him to play on the Atari 2600 she never touched. To this day he's had the pleasure of playing on a vast array of different gaming machines.
He's a recovering WoW-holic and when he's not playing games he's talking about games, reading about games, writing about games, watching videos about games, watching his son play games or chatting rubbish on Twitter.
A lover, not a fighter and an all round good guy (he would say that, he wrote this after all), he's happy to be here as part of GIAG.
