Blake is the co-founder and CEO of Keeper Systems, which connects people to social services using AI built for safety. The company grew directly from his own experience, as Blake was diagnosed with a chronic condition that left him wheelchair-bound in college. Despite public resources being available, the complexity of navigating those systems made an already difficult journey far harder. He enrolled at Yale School of Public Health determined to solve that problem. Together, he and his co-founder Andrew Tam have built a system that prioritizes human support and ensures no one has to navigate the system alone. Following the Elbow Grease program, Blake decided to relocate from New Haven to NYC to work alongisde his co-founder and CTO, Andrew. They now work out of the Gutter HQ office.
