San Francisco Startup Lets Anyone Enter The World Of Virtual Reality
As augmented-reality and virtual-reality technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, one San Francisco startup hopes to makes its mark on this landscape. Taylor Freeman and Will Mason, the founders of UploadVR, are on a mission to improve the industry by providing enthusiasts with a space tailored specifically toward VR development.
UploadVR acquired a venue in February and officially opened in April in downtown San Francisco, right next to Twitter’s offices. The space is equipped with sliding doors and rooms designed for the various types of VR technology. The company has adopted a Google-inspired open culture.
“We took in some angel funding from Joe Kraus from Google Ventures, from my dad, from a couple other folks. Then we got a $1.25 million dollar check from Shonda Group for a seed round,” said Freeman.
