Ben manages over $3B investments with many of the world’s premier venture capital firms as well as directly in early stage startups.  He brings to Next Legacy a distinguished track record spanning over two decades founding and investing in early-stage technology businesses.

Ben’s love for technology products formed the basis for his successful venture track record, including early stage investments in Marketo (acquired for $4.75B) and CourseHero (last valued at $3.6B). He previously ran product for Adobe’s Creative Cloud offerings and founded CoffeeTable, where he raised venture capital financing, built a team, and ultimately sold the company.
