BlockSpaces Announces Key Changes
BlockSpaces outlines a new operating model, management team and a seed round of capital.
TAMPA, FLORIDA, June 22, 2020 — BlockSpaces, Inc., today announced key leadership additions to their team, including the election of Gregory Pierce as Operating Chairman of Board.

“Blockchain is poised for explosive growth,” said Pierce. “I couldn’t be happier to be part of one of the leading blockchain success stories in the country.”
“We are thrilled to make this election to our board,” said Rosa Shores, Co-Founder and CEO of BlockSpaces. “Greg’s experienced leadership within the enterprise software space, as well as his success at scaling startup ventures, will be instrumental in helping to lead BlockSpaces through our next phase of growth.”

“The opportunity for BlockSpaces now is to scale and support blockchain adoption in the mid-market enterprise with Harmonia." said Dyer. "I’m excited for the opportunity to reinforce and accelerate continued innovation, quality, and growth.”

BlockSpaces opened its doors in Tampa in late 2017. At that time, co-founders, Rosa Shores and Gabe Higgins, both early adopters of blockchain, saw local demand for a collaborative space dedicated to developers and enthusiasts of the technology. Over the past year, the company has shifted focus to internal product development of enterprise solutions and raised $100,000 from a local angel investor in January. After completing a blockchain based distributed ID Proof of Concept for the Seminole County Tax Collector's office in March, the company had just kicked off a seed round of investment in March when the COVID-19 pandemic closed down their Embarc Collective office in downtown Tampa. “Although the pandemic initially stalled the seed round in Q1, we have seen an uptick in interest around blockchain solutions which added a significant pipeline to our existing funnel and solidified product-market fit for our PaaS integration platform,” said Dyer.
“We have been in this industry since 2012, and our mission has always been to accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology to transform business, industry and society,” said co-founder, Gabe Higgins. “As enterprise blockchain adoption continues to explode, we are seeing mid-market companies left under-served and unable to easily integrate with enterprise blockchain solutions and participate in networks that will impact their entire industry. Our new model will allow us to be more nimble and pursue new growth opportunities in a disciplined way that ultimately meets our customers’ needs no matter what stage of development they are in with this transformative technology. We are excited about the plans Greg and our new leadership team members have developed to move BlockSpaces to greater levels of success, as we kick off this capital raise.”
BlockSpaces, based in Tampa, Florida is a blockchain and distributed ledger technology focused product development company that offers end to end business solutions, including blockchain consulting and education, custom full-stack software product development, technical support for enterprise, and community support for a marketplace of blockchain applications.
