Client Spotlight: Jan Goetgeluk of Virtuix Rings Nasdaq Closing Bell Following Public Market Debut
On March 5, 2026, executives, supporters, and guests gathered at the New York headquarters of Nasdaq to mark a milestone moment for virtual reality technology company Virtuix. Founder and CEO Jan Goetgeluk led the ceremonial ringing of the closing bell, commemorating the company’s recent listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol VTIX.
Virtuix began trading publicly on January 27, 2026, marking a new chapter for the company as it expands its presence in the growing immersive technology sector. The closing bell ceremony served as a symbolic celebration of the achievement, drawing industry leaders, investors, and supporters who have followed Virtuix’s journey from startup innovation to a publicly traded company.
Among those in attendance was Shaheen Ladhani, Managing Partner at Avidian Wealth Solutions, who attended the ceremony in support of Goetgeluk and the Virtuix team.
We are thrilled to see the success of Virtuix on a global stage,” says Ladhani. “It is the culmination of years of innovation and hard work — and the company is only just getting started! It is a privilege for Avidian to work with founders like Jan and support their long-term growth.”
From startup innovation to public markets
Virtuix has built its reputation around immersive virtual reality experiences designed to make digital worlds more physically engaging. The company is best known for its Omni platform, a VR treadmill system that allows users to walk and run naturally within virtual environments. The technology has found audiences across gaming, entertainment venues, and emerging enterprise applications.
Listing on Nasdaq represents a major step forward for the company’s long-term ambitions. Access to public markets can provide additional resources to support research and development, scale operations, and expand market reach as demand for immersive technologies grows.
A moment of recognition
The Nasdaq closing bell ceremony is a long-standing tradition used to recognize important corporate milestones, from initial public offerings to major company achievements. For Virtuix, the moment offered an opportunity to celebrate years of product development, community support, and business growth.
As the bell rang to close the trading day, it marked not only the end of the market session but also a symbolic recognition of Virtuix’s arrival on the global financial stage.
Support behind the scenes
While IPO celebrations tend to focus on founders and executives, many companies also rely on a broader circle of advisors, partners, and supporters as they navigate growth and financial milestones.
As Virtuix begins its journey as a publicly traded company, the Nasdaq listing — and the moment commemorated by the closing bell — stands as a milestone reflecting years of innovation, persistence, and growth.
