"Aside from slamming into each other during ultimate frisbee, or uh...filling his cubicle with plastic bags... I've gotten to know Blake through working on our respective startups at DreamIt Ventures.
Blake mentored me early in DreamIt and helped me think through important questions for my business. Working late in the evenings, Blake always had time to listen and think hard about my dilemmas as if they were his own. Months later I can take a step back and say what I admire most about Blake: his tenacity, his vision, yet simultaneously his adaptability and sense of humor.
Blake is a long-term thinker who invests himself in individuals and community. After writing that, I realized there's not a lot of people like that. Blake's vision for Philly, for Anthillz, and for his community has taken him very far and I have no doubt will see him much, much further."
