Matterport
Cloud digital-twin and reality-capture platform for buildings and jobsites, combining Matterport cameras, supported 360 cameras, and mobile capture into hosted walkthroughs, measurements, floor plans, and downstream property-data outputs.
Independent, D+-funded -- raised $130.4M, last round Jul 2020.
4.2 /5 composite score
C1 5/5 reflects a transparent free-to-paid pricing ladder, C2 4/5 reflects the published APIs and SDKs, and C5 4/5 reflects documented Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, and AWS integrations. C4 stays at 3/5 because the workflow is still centered on Matterport-hosted digital twins rather than broad open-format export.
