About
Dylan Abruscato is the president of TBPN, hired in September 2025 as the daily tech talk show's tenth employee to build out an advertising business that went from about $5M in 2025 to a reported $30M pace in 2026 — before OpenAI bought the company in April 2026 and wound the ad business down. He ran partnerships at HQ Trivia during its run to millions of concurrent players, earning a 2019 Primetime Emmy nomination for outstanding original interactive program, later worked at Postmates, and founded Crypto: The Game, which Uniswap Labs acquired in 2024.
