Hi! I am Benjamin Surman
As founder, operator, and investor, I spot patterns and turn them into growth. Every venture adds to the playbook. I have transformed businesses by seeing what is possible.
Creating balance has taught me to see patterns where others see chaos, opportunities where others see dead ends.
The (Ad)Ventures
Outside of my entrepreneurial ventures in B2B services, I was fortunate to experience going from startup to public markets with two companies. First with HostGator, growing from a team of 50 through acquisition to IPO. Then with Uber, launching what is now Uber Eats from concept to something your grandma uses. Recently at Somewhere.com, I stepped in as COO and we rocketed from 6 to 8 figures (still advising as the growth continues).
I currently operate Balanced Company with my wife (also an ops genius), where we mix it up with investments in ecom, GovCon, real estate, and more.
