Blockchain and crypto thought leaders, policymakers, startups, investors and entrepreneurs, gathered at the Stage One Event and Convention Hall in Zürich, Switzerland for the Crypto ICO Summit 2018 on October 28-29, 2018.
David Drake, Chairman of LDJ Capital, spoke in this event. More recently, David Drake is also seen as a leader in blockchain and cryptocurrency. He saw the value of digital assets when it was yet unpopular. It all started in 2011 when Drake collaborated on the JOBS Act to create new laws underlying all fundraising in the U.S. for all ICOs. He runs a $200M LDJ Cayman Fund focused on cryptocurrency, mining, and ICO acquisitions. LDJ Capital Credit also offers middle market bridge financing to seed upcoming ICOs. Previously, he held a majority stake as a Managing Partner with Robert Hambrecht in an Alternative Energy Fund NewCommons Capital 2009-2010.
