Ben Whittle is a founder and full-stack builder with 11 years of experience creating developer-facing products and operator-scale systems from the Bay Area. He’s launched multiple startups—including Spec, which built instant Postgres tables for on-chain protocols and attracted prominent angel backers—and most recently leads a stealth venture. Ben combines hands-on engineering (Reflektive founding engineer; architecting scalable integrations) with product design sensibilities from his StartX background, often tackling infrastructure and automation problems end-to-end. He’s mentored early founders through Floodgate’s Outliers program and shipped high‑traffic systems at Arc.io prior to its acquisition. Focused on “solving problems worth solving,” he blends pragmatic technical depth with an eye for developer ergonomics and automation.
