Dennis’ introduction into videogames started with Doom in 1993, when his older brother fired up online multiplayer for the first time. Games quickly grew into a passion for Dennis — and as it turns out, he was also pretty good at them — eventually leading to Dennis becoming the world champion of the Doom and Quake series and winning John Carmack’s Ferrari in a Quake tournament in 1997. Dennis was called the “Michael Jordan of video games” by the Wall Street Journal, is an Esports Hall of Fame inductee, and is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s first professional gamer.
Dennis is also a successful entrepreneur, having previously co-founded five companies in gaming and SaaS totaling over $1B in exits including Xfire and Lithium Technologies, and is a venture partner at BITKRAFT Ventures. Dennis is still an active gamer today and has reached Diamond rank in Apex Legends, PUBG, and top 100 in the world in Clash Royale.
Kun’s introduction to multiplayer games started with modem dial-up sessions of Command & Conquer Red Alert and Starcraft LAN parties over IPX with high school friends. During college, Kun logged way too many hours playing Diablo 2 and Defense of the Ancients Warcraft 3 mod with his dormmates. One of his favorite bonding experiences with coworkers was playing Left 4 Dead, Starcraft 2 (Protoss) and watching the GSL Finals in the office until 2am in the mornings.
Kun graduated from UC Berkeley double majoring in EECS and Mathematics and pursued a PhD in CS at Carnegie Mellon. Having worked with the founders of PayPal and HOTorNOT, Kun became a serial entrepreneur, having founded multiple social media and content platforms including geo-social network Frappr and the leading anime media company Crunchyroll, acquired for over $1B by Sony Pictures.

He passed his 6th grade computer science class by showing his teacher how to optimize building in Sim City 2000, once stayed up 36 hours straight playing Civ 4, and almost lost a girlfriend trying to get 120 stars in Mario 64 in a sitting. He hopes to help create a safer online gaming environment in large part for his kids as they transition to Roblox, Minecraft and beyond.
Like his co-founders, George is a repeat entrepreneur. George founded and was CTO at Cyence, which was acquired by Guidewire Software where he served as CDO. Previously, he was the Chief Data Scientist at Cray and a Research Scientist at DARPA. George has also taught ML (UCB – Eng), Game Theory (American – Math) and Economics (UCI – Econ).
