With 20+ years’ experience in collectibles, gaming, retail products and distribution, and licensing, David Yu began his entrepreneurial journey at 14. An avid collector, his enterprising nature took him from re-selling stamps and phone cards to the eventual purchase of liquidated stock, which included comics, collectibles, and Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia- leading to the opening of his first collectibles store, Games R Us Ltd- at 17 years old. David has had a few successful businesses, including Retail Management Group, which evolved from a wholesale and supply chain solution for manufacturing and distribution, to distributing a range of products from food and beverage to electronics and cosmetics in Australia, New Zealand, China, and other Asian markets. His latest business, Auckland-based Orbis Blockchain Technologies Ltd, better known for its app VeVe, sells digital artworks and virtual models which customers can interact with on their phones and display in virtual galleries. In 2021, VeVe announced partnerships with comic book juggernaut Marvel, Pixar, Lucas Films, Disney, DC Warner Brothers, NBCUniversal, MGM, Sony, CBSViacom, Capcom and Ubisoft to name a few.
