Benjamin Stevens is a venture partner and strategic advisor based in Barcelona with 12 years of hands-on experience building and scaling IoT, applied AI and B2B SaaS businesses. A founder-turned-executive, he grew an IoT startup from zero to a multi-million ARR exit and later built and led Fluidra’s digital and IoT organization to tens of millions in e-sales and hundreds of thousands of connected devices. He combines technical depth—implementing enterprise data platforms like Snowflake and reorganizing data teams—with operator instincts for GTM, P&L management and M&A readiness. Now advising VCs and founders across Europe, he focuses on technical due diligence, deal qualification and industrial-scale “zero to one” execution. Known for shipping product-grade hardware/software solutions quickly (sub-18-month ship cycles) and for translating field-level IoT learnings into enterprise strategy, he blends engineering rigor with commercial outcomes.
