 Exhibit 10.6 

MATTERPORT, INC.

 Sunnyvale, CA 94089 

November 20, 2018 
 Dear R.J.: 

On behalf of Matterport, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. Your employment by the Company shall be governed by the following terms and conditions (this “Agreement”): 

1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 

(a) Position. For the term of your employment under this Agreement (your “Employment”), the
Company agrees to employ you in the position of Chief Executive Officer. You will report to the Company’s Board of Directors. You will be working out of the Company’s offices in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, California. You will perform the
duties and have the responsibilities and authority customarily performed and held by an employee in your position or as otherwise may be assigned or delegated to you by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Additionally, you will be nominated to join as a member of the Board, subject to approval. 
 (b) Obligations to the
Company. During your Employment, you shall devote your full business efforts and time to the Company, and you will not render services to any other person or entity that would interfere with your full time obligation to the
Company. You agree to notify the Company’s Board of Directors prior to undertaking any service relationship in any capacity with any other person or entity. You further agree to comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they may be
in effect from time to time during your Employment. 
 (c) No Conflicting Obligations. You represent and warrant to the
Company that you are under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with your obligations under this Agreement or that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company. In
connection with your Employment, you shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which you or any other person has any right, title or interest and your Employment will not infringe or
violate the rights of any other person. You represent and warrant to the Company that you have returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer. 

2. Cash and Incentive Compensation. 

(a) Salary. The Company shall pay you as compensation for your services an initial base annual salary at a gross
rate of $375,000 per year. Such salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. The annual compensation specified in this subsection (a), together with any modifications in such compensation that the 

  
 -1- 













 Company may make from time to time, is referred to in this Agreement as “Base Salary.” The
Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board shall review your Base Salary at least annually. Effective as of the date of any change to your Base Salary, the Base Salary as so changed shall be considered the new Base Salary for all purposes of
this Agreement. 
 (b) Incentive Bonuses. You will be eligible to be considered for an annual incentive bonus
each calendar year during the term of your employment under this Agreement based upon the achievement of certain objective or subjective criteria established by the Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board. The target amount for any such
annual incentive bonus will be up to 30% of your Base Salary. The determinations of the Board with respect to such bonus shall be final and binding. You shall not earn an incentive bonus unless you are employed by the Company on the date when such
bonus is paid. 
 (c) Equity Grant. Subject to the approval of the Board, the Company shall grant you the
following stock options (collectively, the “Options”): (i) an option to acquire a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 7.0% of the Company’s Fully Diluted Capitalization, as defined below (the
“Standard Option”), measured as of the close of the Company’s currently contemplated Series D preferred stock financing (assuming $15,000,000 of new capital) (the “Series D Financing”) and (ii) an option
to acquire a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 0.5% of the Company’s Fully Diluted Capitalization (the “CIC/IPO Option”), measured as of the closing of the Series D Financing. The Options shall be
granted as soon as reasonably practicable after the closing of the Series D Financing, based on a 409A valuation received post-financing and your continued employment through the date of grant of the Options. Although management of the Company will
recommend to the Board that you be granted the Options on the terms set forth herein, by execution of this letter, you acknowledge that you have no right to receive the Options, or any right to have the Options subject to the specific terms set
forth herein, unless the grant is approved by the Board. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the Options are granted, as determined by the Board in good faith. There is no guarantee that the
Internal Revenue Service will agree with this value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax risks associated with accepting an option to purchase the Company’s Common Stock. The term of the Options shall be 10 years,
subject to earlier expiration in the event of the termination of your services to the Company. The Options will be incentive stock options to the maximum extent allowed by the tax code and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions set forth
in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) and in the Company’s standard form of Stock Option Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”). So long as your service
status is continuous, the Standard Option shall vest and become exercisable over 4 years as follows: 25% of the total number of Standard Option shares shall vest on the 12-month anniversary of your start date
of employment with the Company and 1/48th of the total number of Standard Option shares shall vest on each monthly anniversary thereafter subject to your continuous service with the Company through each vesting date. The CIC/IPO Option shall vest
and become exercisable upon the consummation of the earlier of (i) a Change in Control or (ii) an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock on the NYSE or Nasdaq stock exchange (an “IPO”) as follows:
(A) if the price per share paid for the Common Stock in the Change in Control, as determined in good faith by the Board, is at least two times (2X) the purchase price of the preferred stock sold in the Series D Financing, and provided that you
remain in continuous service through the closing of the Change in Control, 

  
 -2- 













 then 50% of the total CIC/IPO Option shares shall vest and become exercisable upon the consummation of such
Change in Control; or (B) if the Company consummates an IPO at any valuation, or if the price per share paid for the Common Stock in the Change in Control, as determined in good faith by the Board, is at least three times (3X) the purchase
price of the preferred stock sold in the Series D Financing, and provided that you remain in continuous service through the closing of the Change in Control or IPO, then 100% of the total CIC/IPO Option shares shall vest and become exercisable upon
the consummation of such Change in Control or IPO, as applicable. Any remaining unvested shares subject to the CIC/IPO Option at the time of a Change in Control shall be cancelled and immediately terminate for no consideration. For clarity, in the
event of a Change in Control where the price per share paid for the Common Stock in the Change in Control is less than two times (2X) the purchase price of the preferred stock sold in the Series D Financing, then no portion of the CIC/IPO
Option shall vest and such option shall terminate in its entirety. Alternatively, if such price is at least two times (2X) but less than three times (3X) the purchase price of the preferred stock sold in the Series D Financing, then 50% of the
CIC/IPO Option shares shall vest and become exercisable and the remaining 50% of the CIC/IPO Option shares shall be cancelled and immediately terminate for no consideration. 

For purposes of the Option, “Fully Diluted Capitalization” means the total number of shares of the Company’s outstanding
common stock and preferred stock plus (without duplication) all common stock of the Company issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options or stock awards, if any, that have been issued, all shares that are reserved but unissued under the Stock
Plan, and all common stock or preferred stock of the Company issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any outstanding warrants, whether or not currently exercisable. 

(d) Double Trigger Acceleration. If (i) you are terminated without Cause in connection with or following the
consummation of a Change in Control, then the Standard Option shall accelerate and, if applicable, become exercisable such that the Standard Option shall become vested as to 100% of the Shares then unvested or (ii) your employment is terminated
as a result of your resignation for Good Reason in connection with or following the consummation of a Change in Control, then the Standard Option shall accelerate and, if applicable, become exercisable with respect to the shares subject to the
Standard Option that would have otherwise become vested pursuant to its ordinary vesting schedule within the twelve (12) calendar months following such termination date. The acceleration of vesting provided for in the previous sentence shall
occur immediately prior to your termination date. In the event of a Change in Control, if the Company’s successor does not agree to assume the Standard Option or any such outstanding equity award (other than the CIC/IPO Option), or to
substitute an equivalent award or right for the Standard Option or any such outstanding equity award (other than the CIC/IPO Option), and you remain in continuous service through the closing of the Change in Control and you do not voluntarily resign
without Good Reason and without continuing with the Company’s successor, then any acceleration of vesting that would otherwise occur upon your termination shall occur immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of such Change in
Control. For purposes of this paragraph, unless a capitalized term used in this paragraph has a meaning given to it elsewhere in this Agreement, such term shall have the meaning given to it in the Stock Plan or Stock Agreement. 

  
 -3- 













 For purposes of this letter agreement, “Cause” will mean (i) your
willful failure to perform your duties and responsibilities to the Company after written notice thereof and a failure to remedy such failure within 30 days of such notice; (ii) your commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty or
any other willful misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to cause material injury to the Company, including conviction of a felony; (iii) your material unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential information of the Company
or any other party to whom you owe an obligation of nonuse and nondisclosure as a result of your relationship with the Company; or (iv) material breach of any of your obligations under any written agreement with the Company. For purposes of
clarity, except as set forth above, a termination without “Cause” does not include any termination that occurs as a result of Participant’s death or disability. 

For purposes of this letter agreement, “Good Reason” will mean your resignation within 60 days of any of the following events
that occur without your consent: (A) a material adverse change in your job position causing such position to be of materially less stature or of materially less responsibility; provided that neither a mere change in title alone nor reassignment
following a Change in Control to a position that is substantially similar to your prior position (whether with the Company, a Successor Company or a division or unit thereof created out of the Company or its assets) shall constitute a material
adverse change in your job position; (B) a change in the location of your principal work site by more than 60 miles; or (C) a reduction in your then-current base compensation or other material adverse change to your working conditions, in
each case in a manner that adversely affects you disproportionately as compared to other comparable employees of the Company. 
 3.
Business Expenses. The Company will reimburse you for your necessary and reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with your duties hereunder upon presentation of an itemized account and appropriate supporting
documentation, all in accordance with the Company’s generally applicable policies. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything stated in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any reimbursements payable or in-kind benefits provided by the Company to you under this Agreement or otherwise constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A (as defined below), any such payments, reimbursements and/or benefits
(i) will be paid no later than December 31st of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, (ii) will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (iii) will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

4. Termination. 

(a) Employment at Will. Your Employment shall be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company shall
be entitled to terminate your Employment at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause or notice. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you shall be superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and
complete agreement between you and the Company on the “at-will” nature of your Employment, which may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the
Company. 

  
 -4- 













 (b) Rights Upon Termination. Upon the termination of your
Employment, you shall only be entitled to the compensation, benefits reimbursements then due and owing for the period ending as of the end of the effective date of your termination (the “Termination Date”) and the other
compensation and benefits specified in this Section 4. Accordingly, the Company shall make the following payments to you (or your beneficiaries or estate if applicable): (i) all earned but unpaid salary or other earned but unpaid compensation
or wages, and (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by you on or before your Termination Date and which are reimbursable under the Company’s business expense reimbursement policies, which will be paid to you promptly following
your submission of any required receipts and other documentation to the Company in accordance with the Company’s business expense reimbursement policies, provided such receipts and documents are received by the Company within 45 days after your
Termination Date. 
 (c) Severance. If you experience an involuntary separation from service (as defined in Treasury
Regulation 1.409A-1(n)) by the Company (or a successor, if appropriate) without Cause (as defined below) (such termination, an “Involuntary Termination”), and provided you comply with the
Conditions (as defined below), then you will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: 
 (i) Base Salary
Severance. The Company shall pay you severance pay equal to twelve (12) months of your base salary in effect on the date of such termination payable over a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, subject to
all applicable withholdings. The severance will be paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures on the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll dates, commencing with the first regularly scheduled payroll date that occurs
on or after the Deadline Date (as defined below), with the first payment being equal to the total payments that would have been paid had payments commenced on the first payroll date on or after the date of such Involuntary Termination; 

(ii) COBRA Severance. The Company will reimburse you for COBRA premiums (at the coverage levels and at the Company-paid rate in effect
immediately prior to your Involuntary Termination) for you and your covered dependents until the earliest of (A) the date that is twelve (12) months following your termination date, (B) the date that you (or your spouse or dependents, as
applicable) are no longer eligible for COBRA coverage or (C) the date when you are eligible to receive substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment; and 

(iii) Vesting Acceleration. Any of your then outstanding equity awards of the Company (including the Standard Option, but excluding the
CIC/IPO Option) as of the termination date shall accelerate and vest and become exercisable with respect to the portion of such awards that would have otherwise become vested pursuant to their ordinary vesting schedule within the twelve
(12) calendar months following the termination date. The foregoing vesting acceleration set forth in this Section 4(c)(iii) shall also apply in the event of your termination as a result of your death or Disability (as defined in the Plan),
provided you (or your estate) comply with the Conditions. 

  
 -5- 













 For purposes of this letter agreement, “Conditions” will mean (i) you
have returned all Company property in your possession within ten (10) business days following the date of your Involuntary Termination, and (ii) you have executed a full and complete general release of all claims that you may have against
the Company or persons affiliated with the Company in the Company’s standard form provided by the Company and such release has become effective no later than the 30th day after the date of your Involuntary Termination (the “Deadline
Date”). 
 For purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law
of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), each payment that is paid pursuant to this letter agreement is hereby designated as a separate payment. The parties intend that all payments made or to be made
under this letter agreement comply with, or are exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the adverse tax penalties imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will
be interpreted to so comply or be so exempt. Specifically, any severance payments and benefits provided in connection with your Involuntary Termination under this letter and paid on or before the 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of your
first tax year in which your Involuntary Termination occurs or, if later, the 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of the Company’s first tax year in which your Involuntary Termination occurs, shall be exempt from Section 409A to
the maximum extent permitted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A1(b)(4) and any additional severance payments and benefits provided in connection with your Involuntary Termination under this letter shall be exempt from Section 409A
to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A1(b)(9)(iii) (to the extent it is exempt pursuant to such section it will in any event be provided no later than the last day of your 2nd taxable year following the
taxable year in which your Involuntary Termination occurs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the payments provided in connection with your separation from service do not qualify for any reason to be exempt from Section 409A and you are,
at the time of your separation from service, a “specified employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) (i.e., you are a “key employee” of a publicly traded
company), each such payment will not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date of the 7th month after your separation from service and, on such date (or, if earlier, the date of
your death), you will receive all payments that would have been paid during such period in a single lump sum. 
 5. Pre-Employment Conditions. 
 (a) Confidentiality Agreement. Your
acceptance of this offer and commencement of employment with the Company is contingent upon the execution, and delivery to an officer of the Company, of the Company’s Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, a copy of

(b) Right to Work. As required by federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company
documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within 3 business days of your first date of employment, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated.

liability insurance policy paid for by the Company to the extent that the Company maintains such a liability insurance policy now or in the future.

extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is rendered illegal by any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation (collectively, the “Law”) then that provision shall be
curtailed or limited only to the minimum extent necessary to bring the provision into compliance with the Law. All the other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without impairment or limitation.
