Ben Lakoff

I'm the Managing Partner at Bankless Ventures, an early-stage venture fund investing at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and consumer adoption. I'm a CFA Charterholder and prior to launching the fund, I spent years as an entrepreneur & active investor across many asset classes.

I've spent the majority of my adult life abroad: 1 year traveling, 6+ years as an expat and working remotely since 2017 - visiting 80+ countries before 2020. I'm multilingual (English, Portuguese, Spanish) and passionate about connecting with founders across different markets and cultures.
