| Lots of work ahead for both of them! Especially for Matthew Zinn, who must immediately work on bringing Matterports Terms of Service and Cloud Agreement to a level of seriousness, which corporate lawyers from international companies can agree on. |

| Wonder why they are hiring a Legal Officer. Maybe to do with their class action lawsuit or something is going to change in the terms of service again or hosting, I have a feeling in my gut something is brewing again and we are not going to like it..... Investor relations I get it aka fluffer ... he needs to tell the investors why Matterport is not making money, and their stock prices are attractive as STK, maybe they must get SBF to come and run the company for them and take them to a $12 Billion valuation  |
