The journey of

A Master of None

Hi! I am Benjamin Surman

I have built, grown, and transformed businesses across the board. Some were home runs and others were stepping stones. Each one taught me something valuable.

The Ventures

I was part of the growth of a small hosting company called HostGator. That was a wild ride. From working on folding tables to becoming publicly traded.

I was there in the early days of Uber Eats, helping turn a bold bet (when people hardly knew what Uber was) into something your grandma now uses.

At Somewhere.com, I stepped in as COO and we rocketed from 6 to 8 figures in revenue (I still hang around as Fellow and Advisor because great things are still happening).

Success Stories Are Better Shared

My wife and I found a GovCon business barely breathing, we rebuilt it into a multi-million dollar operation. Now we run Balanced Company, where we mix it up with various investments.

The Real Superpower

Being a master of none has taught me to see patterns where others see chaos, opportunities where others see dead ends.

It is not about knowing everything - it is about knowing how to learn anything. That is the real superpower.
