In this episode, Jan interviews Blake Faulkner. Blake is an entrepreneur that is currently a student at Miami University (in Ohio) and whose latest project is called Bloxsmith, a marketplace for game developers building virtual worlds in the metaverse.
Blake has participated in both scouting startups for investment through multiple students who ran venture funds as well as pitched for funding of his own for Bloxsmith. Recently, he attended Draper University and took home first place on the accelerator’s “Demo Day” which allowed the Bloxsmith team to pitch on Stonks - where they achieved 525% over their anticipated investor interest.
In this episode Jan and Blake explore:
- The state of Entrepreneurship in Ohio
- The basic differences between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0
- How Blake went from a Google Doc to pitching at Draper University
