| Hi All, I wonder which VCs invested in Matterport in this latest round. My impression that it is unusual that a company would raise $39 million - and NOT disclose who invested. This leads me to believe that the additional equity is from EXISTING investors. That might account for why Matterport let employees go: as in, if you want the additional investment to pursue the new Matterport Capture Services program rolled out to Matterport Service Providers Program during a webinar on Thursday, 16 April 2020, you need to reduce expenses significantly. ✓ SVBJ: Matterport Lets Go 90 job: one-third of Matterport Employees This leads me to believe that whatever Matterport is valued at is the same or less than the previous round in March 2019. Otherwise, why not disclosure the VCs that participated in the May 2020 equity round? Of course, I could be totally wrong. What are your thoughts? Dan |

| It's a good sign, that Matterport raised that money. I guess the Pro cameras are heavily subsidized, so they really needed this injection. Probably also the layoffs were demanded by the new financiers. Let's hope that Matterport will be spending the money wisely on a new Pro camera or capturing system. After 5 years of more or less unchanged showcase player, Matterport needs new visual features to impress. And I personally hope, that Matterport spends some of that money on the development of a ceiling trim tool. |
