History
UploadVR was founded in 2014 by Taylor Freeman, William Mason, and Nick Ochoa.[6] The organization formed out of a meetup group in San Francisco. The first event had 60 people and six demos ranging from DK1s to early NASA hardware.[7][8] Over the following six months UploadVR produced over 20 events ranging from small events to AWE, a 3,000 person, 3-day conference they co-produced with augmentedreality.org in June 2015.[9] The company currently organizes events, covers the industry and runs the Upload Collective.[10]
UploadVR investors include Joe Kraus, David Freeman,[11] Larry Braitman, VRI, and Shanda Group.[12][13]
