Ben treats every side project like a limited-edition Porsche: gorgeous, hyped, and occasionally left with the keys in the ignition while he tweets about it, engine revs, audience gasps, slightly nervous parking attendant.

Multiple founder exits (Sonar, Bold), a VP role at Postmates, and viral product launches like Style Dropper that proved he can build tools people actually want, and make the internet pay attention while doing it.

To build delightful, design-forward tools that let creators and teams capture and remix visual vibe quickly, while teaching and inspiring the next generation of fearless founders to ship boldly.

Ships-first, iterate-fast mindset; design and aesthetics matter as much as metrics; transparency and curiosity win over secrecy; creators scale through delightful tooling and honest product storytelling.

Relentless builder with sharp product instincts, a designer’s eye, and proven exits. He commands attention, his tweets regularly earn million-plus views and high engagement, and knows how to translate curiosity into usable tools.

Can tweet so much that signal gets buried in noise; blunt takes sometimes polarize rather than convert. As a fast mover, he may prioritize launches over long-form storytelling that sustains long-term community growth.

Run short maker-threads that break product decisions into digestible steps; pin regular ‘what I shipped this week’ updates with GIF/video demos; leverage Spaces or AMAs to turn viral posts into repeatable engagement; amplify customer showcases and design remixes using Style Dropper; cross-promote a newsletter or product waitlist from top-performing tweets to capture followers into owned channels.

Fun fact: Ben has tweeted 11,133 times and counts ~40,548 followers. His top tweets include a Porsche 959 prototype left with keys inside (2,151,198 views) and the Style Dropper launch (3,413,071 views), clearly he can make both cars and product launches go viral.
