2B3D Inc is a technology company based in Newport Beach, California, founded by a group of entrepreneurs with extensive experience in the action sports industry. One of the founders of 2B3D is also the creator of 5150 Snowboards, a brand that has been a staple in the industry for over two decades. In addition to his success in the snowboarding world, he holds a Master's degree in Game Design from Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD). His thesis game, Super Nova, was accepted into the USC AGP program, where he attended a USC master's class for a year and collaborated with a team of coders to create the game demo. The demo went on to win third place at the 2018 IEEE GameSIG Intercollegiate Computer Game Showcase.
Another founder of 2B3D previously served as the head of sports marketing at Oakley, managing partnerships with athletes and events across multiple action sports disciplines. With a shared passion for action sports and cutting-edge technology, the team at 2B3D is committed to creating engaging experiences across multiple platforms, from PC and console gaming to virtual reality and beyond.
2B3D Inc's founders bring a wealth of experience from the action sports, medical, crypto, finance, web3, and video game industries. The company aims to deliver innovative and disruptive solutions to these diverse fields by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain, web3, and virtual reality. Their flagship game, Astro Bowl: Retro, captures this vision. Inspired by the classic Tecmo Super Bowl, Astro Bowl: Retro combines nostalgic gameplay with modern blockchain integration, allowing players to earn in-game rewards that can be traded for cryptocurrency. Following Astro Bowl: Retro, 2B3D plans to launch StormRiders, a dynamic action sports game where players can snowboard, surf, skateboard, and ride ATVs across futuristic terrains. Both games exemplify 2B3D’s commitment to immersive and innovative gameplay.
As part of its broader mission, 2B3D also plans to revolutionize healthcare by leveraging virtual reality technology to provide a more accessible and affordable alternative to traditional medical care. One of the company's co-founders has a background in both crypto finance and medical network management, bringing extensive experience in developing cutting-edge solutions for these industries. Additionally, another co-founder served as a Combat Medic (68W) in the military, earning awards such as the Combat Medic Badge (CMB). Their frustration with the current healthcare system's inability to provide adequate mental health services for veterans was a significant driving force behind the creation of MedQuest, an in-game medical module that uses gaming technology to supplement traditional therapies and support networks.
Through games like Astro Bowl: Retro and StormRiders, and initiatives like MedQuest, 2B3D is forging a future where technology, entertainment, and wellness intersect to create meaningful and impactful solutions.
