Ep. 23: Founder and CEO of Opendorse, Blake Lawrence: How He Went from Counterfeiting Pokémon Cards to Running His Own Sports Tech Company - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did Blake Lawrence go from making negative $54 on his first business venture to owning and operating his own successful company, Opendorse? On today’s episode we talk about how Blake went from playing football at Nebraska to founding two successful companies: Hurrdat and Opendorse. Blake co founded the company, HurrDat with his buddy Adi, while they were still in school at the University of Nebraska in 2010. In 2013, he was chosen as one of the Midwest’s most successful, high-performing entrepreneurs to complete a Pipeline Entrepreneurial Fellowship. Today, his other company Opendorse has facilitated deals with leagues like the NFL, NBA, NHL, UFC, La Liga, and athletes like Connor McGregor, Rob Gronkowski, and Gareth Bale just to name a few. So how did Blake manage two growing companies at the same time? And how did a $10 Tweet win him the attention of the NFL?
