Yoshiki is a co-founder at Croquet and came there after 10 years at Kay’s Viewpoint Research Institute. Apparently Yoshiki went there after Kay folded VPRI into Y Combinator Research's (YCR) HARC -- Human Advancement Research Community.
I set up my own Reflector based on the open source version and now an installation of a Microverse world works without relying on the Croquet or Multisynq infrastructure: https://tinlizzie.org/factory/ discord
