Jan Goetgeluk is the founder and CEO of Virtuix and the developer of the Virtuix Omni, the first virtual reality interface for moving freely and naturally in video games and virtual worlds.

Jan is originally from Belgium and came to Houston in 2007 as a Project Engineer for Katoen Natie, a Belgian logistics conglomerate. He decided to stay in the US and left Katoen Natie to obtain his MBA degree at Rice University. Upon graduation in 2010, Jan joined JP Morgan as an Investment Banker in Houston and New York. While working as an investment banking associate, Jan started developing the Omni after hours, often working until late in the morning. In February 2013, after two years of researching, experimenting, and prototyping, he decided to leave his full-time job and founded Virtuix to bring the Omni to market. Jan launched the Omni Kickstarter campaign in June 2013, raising $1.1 million through the sale of more than 2,500 Omnis. To date, more than 3,000 Omnis have been sold.
