Frequently asked questions
What is the investment focus of Presence Capital?
Presence Capital invests in early-stage augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) companies. Its strategy covers seed and start-up rounds, targeting the application layer — software and content — rather than underlying hardware. The firm's public communications frame AR and VR as technologies that will transform communication, work, and play.
Does Presence Capital publicly disclose its portfolio companies?
No. Presence Capital does not publish a portfolio page or list of active investments on its website. This limits third-party diligence on its track record, exposure mix, and co-investor relationships.
Who makes investment decisions at Presence Capital?
Presence Capital does not publicly name its managing partners, principals, or investment committee members. No individual decision-makers are identified on the firm's website or in primary sources consulted.
