Ben Lakoff
Ben Lakoff is Co-Founder, Business Lead at Charged Particles. Startup operator, advisor and investor.
I have a broad background in Finance and have developed a strong global finance experience through nearly 10 years of international assignments across 4 continents as well as through the award of my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) certification.
Although my background is in Finance, I'm obsessed with all things startups and web3.
I have been actively angel investing since 2015 and since then, have started, scaled, failed, and sold a number of startups and have been an integral part of early-stage startups that have raised over $20M in funding.
Currently, I'm a co-founder and the business lead for Charged Particles.
I'm constantly mentoring, advising and angel investing with innovative early-stage startups looking to scale. I also have a podcast where I talk about Alternative Investments, something I really enjoy.
