Founder | Hubspot Marketing & RevOps at Contineofy
I have been in marketing for nearly two decades after watching the movie "What Women Want" and telling myself I wanted to work in marketing. Starting at the age of 16 as a telemarketer, I managed to work up the different levels and now specialize in demand generation, content marketing, and marketing automation, working with a variety of tools such as HubSpot, Wistia, PartnerStack, Pendo, Riverside, StoryLane, Google Adwords, and WebFlow. Over the years, I have been fascinated by all things marketing and technology. Even though my career started with telemarketing, trade show demonstrations, and graphic design, it quickly transitioned into web design, digital marketing, and content marketing in 2009. The reason I love digital marketing is that it is always changing. Although businesses should stay true to their brand, values, and strengths, they always have new ways of sharing their stories, values, and advice through different channels. I am continuously excited to discover and implement these new strategies in the companies I work for. Having experience with small businesses and startups as well as working for marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies, I understand the benefits of creating processes and structure so that all members of the team can engage and collaborate and create a positive experience for customers. I truly believe that if you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together. By working together and building off the strengths of everyone on the team, the sky truly is the limit.

Founder / Managing Partner / Co-CEO at Dragon Horse Agency
I’m P. Blake Renda—entrepreneur, investor, and co-CEO of Veedor Holdings LLC based in Naples, FL, with a satellite office in Santa Monica, CA. Veedor Holdings LLC, in addition to making strategic investments, owns and operates Dragon Horse Agency, Dragon Horse Publishing, and Moxie Creed. My professional journey began while attending the University of Southern Calfornia as an intern at NBC Studios, which led to a full-time position upon graduating. I then pivoted to law and then finance which ultimately lead me to Wall Street in 1996, where I was part of small team in Palo Alto, CA managing over $20 billion in technology-sector assets at J. & W. Seligman & Co. and in 2000 I earned recognition as one of Institutional Investor Magazine’s “Best of the Buy Side.” In 2006, I joined the New Dimensions Growth Team of American Express Asset Management in La Jolla, CA, as the T/M/T manager across six growth funds with $40 billion plus in AUM. In 2004, I was nominated for Institutional Investor Magazine's "Best of the Buy Side." Those years instilled in me the importance of rigorously vetting opportunities and leading with foresight—skills that I have consistently applied to every entrepreneurial venture. From 2011 to 2015, I helped transform a boutique Florida skincare startup into a nationally recognized, multi-award-winning brand, culminating in its public listing via SPAC. I exited that company and launched Veedor Holdings LLC with my Co-Founder, Julie Koester. Today, we own and operate Dragon Horse Agency, a multi-award-winning, bi-coastal agency serving global clients known for delivering business strategy and marketing under one roof. We also own Dragon Horse Publishing, an award-winning publishing company, and Moxie Creed, a wellness lifestyle e-commerce company. Beyond the accolades, successes, challenges, and failures, I live with a deep belief in resilience, mentorship, and shared success. I’m a proud father, a former youth volleyball coach, and a passionate advocate of Ubuntu—"I am because we are." Whether scaling startups, navigating global markets, or building culture, I bring the same competitive spirit and collaborative ethos to every endeavor. Success isn't about accolades—it’s about legacy, community, and the courage to keep moving forward. As Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Hey, I’m Mark Solis — CTO of AI Agency San Antonio. I’ve been in the digital marketing for a decade and ai automation space for over 2.5 years, building campaigns, streamlining business processes, and helping brands grow with smart tech. My focus is simple: use A.I. to help businesses save time, reduce costs, and scale faster without working harder. At AI Agency San Antonio, we specialize in building A.I. automation tools for businesses of all sizes — from small mom-and-pop shops to large companies across the U.S. Whether you need help with a custom chatbot, ai phone agent, automating customer service, or automating your internal business operations, we’ve got solutions ready to plug in and run. We work with industries like real estate, healthcare, legal, eCommerce, home services, events, hospitality, and more.

A well-placed chatbot or phone agent can literally save a team 30+ hours a week. We’re based out of Timberwood Park on the North Side of San Antonio, just off Bulverde Road — but we serve clients across the country. San Antonio is home base, and I love working with businesses along Highway 281, 1604, and into the downtown tech corridor. What drives me? I’m obsessed with efficiency and creating systems that work around the clock. I stay sharp by following industry leaders like Sam Altman, Fei-Fei Li, and Andrew Ng, and I always keep tabs on what’s next in the A.I. world. According to PwC, A.I. could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 — and I’m here to help business owners claim their piece of that. If you’re ready to explore what A.I. can do for your business — or even if you’re just curious — reach out. Let’s talk about what you’re doing now and how we can make it smarter.
