CEO Mark Zuckerberg envisions these avatars having their own inventories of digital goods and the ability to teleport to different virtual experiences many of us wish we could do in real life. But the financial opportunity could arise from the metaverse having its own self-sustaining digital economy where users would pay for goods, services, and even activities.

There are many things that businesses can do with \"digital twins\" of their buildings or spaces, like putting them online to allow potential customers to take a 3D tour of the space. Matterport has seen tremendous adoption by many big-name companies across various sectors, like <b>Redfin</b> in real estate and Swinerton in construction, but this could expand into any company that wants to move its business to the metaverse.</p>\n<p>These broad and expanding use cases have led to impressive adoption. The company reported third-quarter 2021 revenue of $27.7 million, which grew 10% year over year. This was driven by subscription growth of 36% to $15.7 million and spaces under management reaching 6.2 million, jumping 62% from the year-ago quarter. Total subscribers more than doubled, reaching 439,000 subscribers on Matterport's platform.</p>\n<p>What is not so hot is Matterport's profitability. The company is both net-income and free-cash-flow-negative by a wide margin. The company's free cash flow so far this year is negative $28 million, and the company had a net loss of $168 million in Q3, representing 600% of revenue. In Q3 2020, the company was near breakeven, but a 317% increase in operating expenses and a worsening gross margin caused the company's profitability to swing in the wrong direction.</p>\n<p>If Matterport can become an integral part ofbuilding the metaverseover the next decade, its concerns about a path to profitability could disappear.

At the core of its portfolio is the graphics processing unit (GPU), a high-throughput chip that can perform thousands of calculations at once.
