Technology & VR development · IP & licensing · since 1999
Where ideas become
companies.
Arcade Inventors is the invention studio and IP company of Rick Barretto — creator of the world's first custom personal arcade in 1999, and the home of a growing portfolio of technology, gaming, AI, and education ventures.
First. Not among the first.
We created the personal arcade — in 1999.
Founder Rick Barretto built the world's first customized, open-architecture personal arcade and, in doing so, created a category that hadn't existed. That instinct — invent the thing, then engineer trust into it — is the throughline of every venture here.
Today Arcade Inventors operates as a technology and VR development IP and licensing company, designing and creating interactive experiences that entertain, educate, and inspire.
