LOS ANGELES: Area 120, Google's incubator division for experimental projects, has officially opened up Fundo – a platform for YouTubers and other creators to host paid, ticketed virtual experiences – to anyone in the United States and Canada.

Fundo, as first reported by Variety, has been in beta for the past year with a few hundred "trusted testers," who can set the price for access to online events and control how many people can attend, says general manager John Gregg. It's a turnkey service, providing hosting features including video streaming, promotional tools, and payment-transaction processing.
