## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2019 by David Nussbaum (CEO), and Doug Barry, Proto Inc. formerly known as PORTL Inc. operates as a software company that develops hologram projection machines that allow users to beam themselves from any location in the world, in real-time, life-size, and 3D form. In December 2023, Proto Inc. raised venture funding from Cartan Capital.

Proto Inc. focuses in developing holographic projection machines that add an emotional component to many types of communication. Users can project themselves from their current location, allowing them to see, hear, and engage fully with its audiences in holographic resolution. This technology enables users to create films, modify content, or any subject matter, and play it back as a holographic movie on a loop or through motion activation. The simple method of contact afforded by these holographic projection equipment benefits clients.

The company plans to use the December 2023 funding to broaden its business platform in artificial intelligence products and holograph services.
