Silta Finance is Ben's fourth startup and here is where he finds his passion. His corporate career was in infrastructure finance and he first heard about Bitcoin in 2011 but ignored it initially. It was only around 2016 that he took a bigger interest, crucially in the functionality.

“I got that it was an immutable database but then I saw the functionality in the dApps and that piqued my curiosity.”

With Silta Finance, his blockchain startup which is described as bridge connecting DeFI with infrastructure investments, Ben believes he can bridge the world of TradFi and DeFi. For him, Silta Finance sits right in the middle of these two worlds and can take the best from both.
