Built by a Founder. For Founders.

Peak Adventures exists at the intersection of adventure, strategy, and peer connection — designed for experienced founders navigating life beyond the exit or deep in the grind.

Hi. I'm Ben.

Founder. Investor. Forum Lead. Adventure traveler in 57 countries.

I’ve founded and sold companies, evaluated hundreds as an investor, and I’ve traveled to find clarity at every major transition in my own life. I serve as a Forum Lead and Colorado Co-Lead for Post Exit Founders (PEF) and as GEM’s Colorado Ambassador. Peak Adventures exists because I couldn’t find this combination — advisory, adventure, and peer community — when I needed it. So I built it.

The thing that actually helped me, at every major turning point, was travel. Getting away from the business, the inbox, and the mental model I'd built up around both. I've been to 57 countries. Some of those trips were vacations. The best ones were something else — a chance to ask questions I didn't have room to ask at home.

Peak Adventures is built on that belief: that the most important breakthroughs happen outside the office. And that founders deserve better resources — not just for the business, but for the whole person building it.

What I Bring

As a Founder

Two exits. Five years as an exec at the acquiring companies. I know what the building years feel like from the inside — the decisions that keep you up at night, the team dynamics that don't show up in board updates, and the particular loneliness of being the person who's supposed to have the answers.

As an Investor and Advisor

Managing Partner at NextCap Ventures. I've evaluated hundreds of startups and advised founders across multiple accelerator programs. I know how investors read a story, a team, and a set of metrics — because I've been on that side of the table.

As a Traveler

57 countries. I've used travel to reset, find clarity, and design what comes next at every major transition in my own life. The places I've been shape how I facilitate — because I've done the work I'm asking other founders to do.
