Ben Burman

I'm an investor based in Miami, originally from New York City.

I put my own capital into high-quality businesses that are well-priced and run by strong teams in growing markets. Public equities are my main focus, alongside crypto, real estate, and early-stage startups.

About

How I work.

I started investing as a teenager and eventually made it my full-time focus. My approach hasn't changed much: find businesses that are undervalued, well-run, and pointed at a growing market, then be patient enough to let the thesis play out.

The way I think about risk is straightforward. Keep the downside small and defined, and give the upside room to run.

Before focusing on my own portfolio full-time, I spent four years at Republic, where I helped more than 200 startups raise over $250M. I've also spent years interviewing founders, CEOs, and investors, first on Starting It Up and later on Degen Download.
