## About

Based in Barletta, Italy, and founded in 2018, The Portal operates as a virtual reality company. The company was founded by its CEO, Alessandro Martire, Senior Manager, Carmine Gissi, and Business Development Officer, Francesco Gissi. In August 2020, The Portal raised EUR 428,000 in seed funding from new investor CDP Venture Capital.

The Portal develops location-based virtual reality technologies (LBVR technology) for applications in gaming, education, culture, and job training. Its virtual reality (VR) solutions enable users to travel freely and without cables within the same virtual space while interacting within a fully realized virtual environment. As of 2022, the company's virtual reality-based products include Bank Heist and Zombie Survival, a multiplayer game; VR Museum and Ancient Rome VR, a virtual reality-based experience that enables digital reconstructions of historical and museum environments; and Edu-portal, an ed-tech product that enables users to take part in lessons with a virtual version of themselves in a completely recreated VR class.
