FOUNDERS

Blockchain Leadership Institute was created by Tiffany J. Smith, Partner at WilmerHale, and Cleve Mesidor, Executive Director of Blockchain Foundation. Committee Chairs include Rob Collier, CEO, Rally; Schonda Fields, Director of Index Products, Coin Metrics; Robert M Franklin III, Venture Partner, MastersFund.


Why Martha's Vineyard?

Every August, Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, White House officials, leaders of civil rights groups gather at the Inkwell to host panels, workshops, and other events. Now, Black crypto leaders also have a voice.


“Launching the Blockchain Braintrust is a pathway to ensuring seasoned and respected Black and Latino industry leaders have a voice as policy debates ramp up in Washington,” said Cleve Mesidor, Co-Founder of the Blockchain Braintrust. “We helped to birth decentralized finance and have earned seats at the table.”


“We are at an important inflection point in the crypto industry, so this gathering could not come at a more critical time in light of the current political and regulatory environment. Given that many leaders will already be gathered on Martha’s Vineyard to discuss a myriad of important issues impacting diverse communities, I am excited to bring the conversation about crypto and financial inclusion to the Vineyard. I look forward to meeting with other leaders to brainstorm and collaborate around a shared vision for inclusive finance,” said Tiffany J. Smith, a lawyer in New York City who advises crypto and web3 companies, and Co-Founder of the Blockchain Braintrust.
