Future Trash, a Los Angeles, CA-based multidisciplinary creative studio, raised $5M in funding.
The round was led by TIRTA and General Catalyst.
The funding will be dedicated to its flagship original IP, FOAD, which leverages Fortnite’s Unreal Editor (UEFN) tools and ecosystem to create a User-Generated-Content (UGC) native video game franchise.
Co-founded by Kevin Marciano, Nate Reese, Scott Ulliman, and Sebastian Alberini in late 2022, Future Trash is a multidisciplinary game development studio creating original IP on UGC platforms. Its debut and flagship IP is FOAD, a variety of competitive party games in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) anchored around anthropomorphic explosive characters. It launched their first FOAD game in June 2023.
FOAD games have been recognized by Epic, the creator community, The Game Awards, and players globally as the most innovative experiences on the platform. Crossing 20M unique players and over 1B minutes of playtime, FOAD is among the first original IP to sprout from Fortnite Creative 2.0.
