How This Founder Dropped out at 18 to Build a Unicorn Crypto Company and VC
We interviewed David Brillembourg Jr. of Dune Ventures. David dropped out of NYU at 18 to join Galaxy Digital. He joined as employee number 5 and left when it was in the billions of market cap.
After Galaxy Digital, at just 21 he started his own venture fund, Dune Ventures. Dune invests in the best founders in the video games industry.
David shares his invaluable insights on venture capital, the impact of immersive video games, the importance of independent and creative thinking, and his own entrepreneurial journey, from dropping out of NYU to founding a venture fund.
Along the way, he delves into the cultural differences between New York and San Francisco, his views on the future of Web3 and VR, and the critical balance between creativity and commercial success in the gaming industry.
