About
My name is Pat Ben.
I am located in Western Switzerland (Geneva).
I use economics, finance, and analytics to give entrepreneurs (and investors) an edge to engage key stakeholders, build enduring companies and serve people. I try to make my writing understandable and colorful for everyone.
Getting millions of followers on social networks is not my thing. Instead, I would prefer to create mutually beneficial one-to-one relationships with serious makers and backers. But you can still follow me on LinkedIn.
My writing is independent: no strings attached, no conflict of interest, no promotion.
It is based on this one belief: whoever you are and whatever you do, you can grow (and fund) your business, your own way.
