AT Upload, the parties never seemed to stop. The startup began by hosting impromptu gatherings to promote virtual reality (VR) as the next big thing. It quickly became an entertainment and news hub for the VR industry, hosting hundreds of events. The crowds were young and eager to network. Models did demos, and the liquor flowed.
The freewheeling atmosphere was not restricted to the evening hours. There was a "rampant sexual behaviour and focus" in the Upload office that created "an unbearable environment", a former employee, Elizabeth Scott, said in a lawsuit filed in May.
