A 21-year-old Fortnite pro gives out computers to young gamers and plans for more through a new fund
Cody Conrod, a 21-year-old Fortnite pro, dropped out of eighth grade to pursue esports. Now, he wants to help others enter the costly world of professional gaming. After providing hundreds of thousands in gaming equipment through an annual holiday giveaway, Conrod launched the Dr3amin Access Fund through his new holding company to formalize his efforts.
The fund will receive a portion of proceeds from his clothing brand and donations during his end-of-year giveaway, Clixmas. Conrod aims to alleviate the financial burden of purchasing high-end gaming computers, which have grown increasingly expensive due to the data center buildout.
