Dave Drever - São Paulo, Brazil
FREELY FOUNDER | DAVE@FREELY.COM
Dave Drever founded his first company at the age of 17 and has been a serial entrepreneur ever since. After being recruited to Los Angeles in his senior year of college, he became an EVP for filmmaker Mark Brown (Barbershop) who is responsible for generating $400m at the box office. In 2007, Dave had the #1 viral video of the year and was recruited by a Washington D.C. based VC to setup the digital export arm of the Chinese government in Beijing.
During this time, Dave setup the Hulu Channel for China, built their English language mobile apps and became a soft power expert reaching over 1bn people globally.
Today, Dave rosters various multi-national organizations, ESG companies and celebrity talent. Upon being challenged by his mentor who asked him "to what end?", Dave created and is launching the Freely Movement in 2023 to train up 10m Freely Ambassadors to do 1bn acts of God's love.
Dave'sVision
I created Freely as a vehicle to exercise my Christian faith and leave a legacy project my three daughters can change the world with. Inspired by the books "Treasure Principle" by Randy Alcorn, "Blessed Life" by Robert Morris, Francis Chan's rope analogy and John Piper's "Look at my sea shell collection" Youtube video paired with a lot of Bethel, Jesus Culture, Blue Jay House, Elevation and Ricky Jackson worship, I burned the ships and went after taking a radically other centered generosity movement across the globe.
This journey has been long yet well worth it. I dry ran the DAO in the most dangerous places in the world that need help...and IT WORKED!!! There have been challenges at every turn but we finally made it and I am excited to release our DAO, media and entertainment, sports and charity work one person at a time.
As Grandma Drever would say, "Jesus loves you , and so do I!"
In Him,
Dave Drever
