DAVID BRILLEMBOURG JR.
Age: 24 • Founder, Dune Ventures
For Brillembourg, venture investing is all fun and games. The founder of New York–based Dune Ventures backs entrepreneurs out to shake up the video gaming and streaming worlds. Since launching in 2020, he has raised $100 million and invested $50 million in 21 companies including gaming social media startup Medal.tv and virtual-reality game studio Ramen VR. At 18, he dropped out of NYU to invest in gaming startups for Galaxy Digital, a crypto trading and Web3-focused VC firm with $2 billion in assets under management. Brillembourg says his age is an advantage to connecting with gaming’s brash young founders. “I grew up playing games. I understand games. I still play games all day long.” Alexis Alston, 27
