Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Holzman is a seasoned venture-focused operator and investor with eight years of concentrated experience guiding early-stage infrastructure software and fintech companies from go-to-market through scale. As a Venture Guide and longtime board member (notably at Rapid7 and as first investor in Sysdig), he blends SaaS, storage/security, and finance expertise to help founders hit critical growth inflection points. His track record includes leadership roles as COO and CFO at growth-stage fintechs like MX.com and Artemis Health, plus co-CEO experience at ObserveIT, giving him hands-on operational credibility alongside investor instincts. Ben’s teams have a strong history of creating durable outcomes—over 80% positive returns and multiple unicorns—reflecting a disciplined, concentrated portfolio approach. Based in Park City, Utah, he pairs MIT Sloan and Duke engineering roots with deep governance experience (audit committee through IPO and chairing nominating/governance). An under-the-radar strength is his ability to move fluidly between sales-led GTM models and complex technical product strategy, making him a practical connector between founders, operators, and capital.
