That $225 million vehicle is roughly twice the size of their previous fund, but because of the coronavirus, the firm, and its portfolio companies — some of which include Opendoor, Instacart  and Coinbase — could be facing a tougher road in 2020.

The startup’s Persona product which launched last year bundles both its software and motion capture hardware rig. Cubic Motion’s technology has been used in recent blockbuster gaming titles like Sony Interactive Entertainment’s God of War and I...
