Case Study: Singularity University builds a socially connected virtual community with Virbela Open Campus

Singularity University - Customer Case Study

Singularity University, a global organization that equips leaders, organizations, and startups to tackle major challenges, needed a more interactive and socially connected alternative to traditional video conferencing for its worldwide community. To support collaboration among alumni, partners, students, faculty, and enterprises, it turned to Virbela and its Open Campus virtual environment.

Virbela implemented an always-on virtual campus with social spaces, meeting rooms, and interactive auditoriums that made online gatherings feel more like in-person experiences. The result was stronger engagement, more natural networking, and improved interactive learning, with Principal Faculty Aaron Frank noting that the platform recreated many real-world social dynamics and enabled nuanced learning approaches not possible on Zoom-like tools.
