Amitt Mahajan is the Managing Partner and co-founder of Presence Capital, a San Francisco-based venture firm he launched in 2015 as the first fund dedicated exclusively to virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and spatial computing. His investment thesis targets early-stage companies in VR, AR, AI, and frontier immersive technologies, with a focus on software rather than hardware or content like films and games. Mahajan typically invests between $100,000 and $500,000 per deal, with an average check size of $200,000, and often enters at the pre-seed or seed stage as either a friend-of-family first investor or a seed participant. Notable portfolio companies include Airtable, Mercury, Baobab Studios, Runway, and Sandbox VR, reflecting his support for developer tools, immersive experiences, and enterprise software. A distinctive point of view he holds is that VR headsets will become commoditized, leading his fund to prioritize software investments over hardware. Before founding Presence Capital, Mahajan was a serial entrepreneur who co-founded MyMiniLife (acquired by Zynga) and Toro (acquired by Google), and he co-created the game FarmVille whil
