Frequently Asked Questions
Quick, direct answers to build your knowledge in the VirtuPreneur ecosystem.
What is VirtuPreneur and how does it work?
VirtuPreneur is a virtual business ecosystem where entrepreneurs list virtual businesses for sale or investment, connect with investors, and verify operational trust.
The platform mimics real-world startup funding and management frameworks in a virtual marketplace. Users build storefronts, create digital products, track virtual sales revenue, and pitch their expansion proposals to accredited platform backers. Investors browse listings, evaluate traction, and secure shares in virtual startup assets.
How does the AI Business Generator work?
The AI Business Generator allows you to instantly spawn a complete virtual storefront, complete with branding and sample inventory, by simply typing a short text prompt.
Instead of spending hours designing a 3D environment or manually inputting product data, you can describe your vision (e.g., "Futuristic cyber-cafe"). The underlying AI instantly interprets the prompt, generates an optimized storefront, drafts logos, creates themed inventory items, and assigns realistic supply and demand curves so you can start managing your business immediately.
What are V-Coins and how do I use them?
V-Coins are the official in-ecosystem virtual currency used for all transactions, investments, and upgrades within VirtuPreneur.
Entrepreneurs earn V-Coins when virtual shoppers or other players purchase items from their stores. These coins can be reinvested to upgrade shop aesthetics, pay virtual rent, or launch marketing campaigns. Investors use V-Coins to fund startups, and in return, they receive dividend payouts in V-Coins based on the startup's monthly net revenue.
How can I raise capital for my virtual business?
To raise capital on VirtuPreneur, list your business details on the Business Street, pass our biometric KYC identity check, and publish an active investment prospectus for platform backers.
Verification is mandatory for listing campaigns. Once you pass identity checks, you earn a "Verified" trust badge, allowing you to define pitch size, equity share allocation, and dividend metrics to draw bids from platform backers.
How does VirtuPreneur prevent fraud and verify identities?
VirtuPreneur prevents fraud through a self-hosted, in-memory AI Biometric KYC verification service that matches facial landmarker datasets and detects presentation spoofing.
The KYC pipeline processes all uploaded identity documents and webcam snapshots entirely in-memory (using FastAPI, InsightFace, and MediaPipe). Sensitive raw biometrics are never written to the server disk, ensuring maximum user privacy. Success uploads securely links identity validation tags directly to user profiles.
What is active liveness verification in biometrics?
Active liveness verification is a security check requiring users to perform randomized head gestures or expressions to prove a live human is physically present.
Unlike static validation checks that can be spoofed by high-definition screenshots or video replay loops, active liveness challenges the user dynamically. Users must look straight, smile, or tilt their head left and right, enabling real-time blendshape coordinates to match verification rules.
How does Relative Differential Analysis (RDA) prevent identity spoofing?
Relative Differential Analysis (RDA) compares facial landmarker posture variations and smile intensity scores across multiple snapshots to verify true physical movement.
Our FastAPI KYC service analyzes spatial landmark grids across three requested frames. RDA checks that the target posture shifts and expressions exceed minimum mathematical offsets (e.g., target smile score is +0.15 higher than default frames). This stops attackers from using copies or static photos.
