In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Jan Goetgeluk, Founder and CEO of Virtuix Holdings, ahead of the company’s upcoming Nasdaq direct listing under the ticker VTIX, expected to begin trading on January 27.
Virtuix is best known as the creator of the Omni VR treadmill, an omni-directional locomotion platform that allows users to physically walk and run inside virtual reality. The company’s technology is used across gaming, fitness, and enterprise and defense training applications.
In December 2025, Virtuix filed for a direct listing on the Nasdaq, registering over 34 million shares for resale at an implied valuation of approximately $341 million. Unlike a traditional IPO, this listing is designed to provide liquidity for early shareholders rather than raise new capital.
What we cover in this interview
• What Virtuix actually does in plain English
• How the Omni One VR treadmill works and where it is being deployed
• Why Virtuix chose a direct listing instead of a traditional IPO
• What changes operationally once Virtuix becomes a public company
• How management thinks about execution, discipline, and transparency in the public markets
• The difference between what is already proven versus what still needs to be earned
• Competitive pressures in consumer VR hardware
• Key risks investors should understand, including low current revenue and negative free cash flow
• What milestones matter most over the next 12 to 24 months
• How investors should evaluate progress post-listing

Risk considerations discussed
Virtuix is entering the public markets at an early stage. The company has reported limited revenue to date, negative free cash flow, and operates in a highly competitive consumer hardware environment. VR locomotion remains a niche category, and broader adoption is not guaranteed. Execution, cost control, and demand growth will be critical for long-term success.
This conversation is designed to help investors understand both the opportunity and the risks, straight from the CEO, without hype.
