Entrepreneur, investor, operator.

I'm Ben Lawson, an entrepreneur and investor based in Orlando, Florida, and a co-founder of Kinno Ventures, where I run operations.

I came up through hands-on work, the kind where results depend on showing up, leading the crew and getting it right the first time. That same approach is what I bring to building a company and to managing money: learn the details, do the work, and follow through on your word.

Outside of work, I invest in the stock market and study how money and portfolios are managed, with the goal of earning the licenses to work in finance professionally.

• LoyaltyThe people who back you get backed in return.
• DependabilityShow up, every time, ready to work.
• Follow-throughIf I say it, it gets done.

"Outworks everyone around him, leads without being asked, and brings people up with him."
