David Drake
Mr. Drake is seen as a leader in cryptocurrency and in evaluating ICO’s. Mr. Drake saw the value of digital assets when everyone was avoiding it. It all started in 2011 when Mr. Drake collaborated on the JOBS Act to create new laws underlying all fundraising in the U.S. for all ICOs. His crypto hedge funds hold crypto, ICOs, and fintech equity as seed investments to help new coins to be made via ICOs. His company also offers bridge financing to seed upcoming ICO’s.
“Mavin’s rewards-based, AI-driven and blockchain-powered influencer marketing platform is set to change the rules of the game. Coupled with human verifiers, this framework architectured by Mavin is something to watch for as it is poised to level up the credibility of the ecosystem. The marketing industry has been waiting for this solution. Blockchain technology with Mavin’s expertise and execution can propel this to the right direction. I am thrilled to be a part of this project as their Board Advisor.” — David Drake, Chairman at LDJ Capital
