Recently, David Drake is seen as a thought leader in the fintech, blockchain, and cryptocurrency industry. Drake was part of the early movers who lobbied for the US JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) and because of this pioneering work he was invited by then President Obama at the White House for the Champions of Change celebration in 2013. He was also an invited speaker at the UK Parliament in the same year for the 1st National Crowdfunding day. His multi-family office LDJ Capital includes investments in The Soho Loft Media Group and in the crypto and blockchain space through his $200 million LDJ Capital Cayman Fund. David Drake said, "I am very excited to give the award to my fellow Swede, Mr. Dolph Lundgren. I am fascinated with how SMASH Global was able to combine an exclusive gala setting with an exciting showcase of bouts from professional mixed martial artists." Dolph Lundgren famously played the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in "Rocky IV" and Gunnar Jensen in "The Expendables." The partners of this event include BQT.io, NOYO Web Development Inc., and Omela.
