The Word on BVJ

More than a legal ops provider, Ben has been a mentor, a partner, and a steady hand through one of the most overwhelming parts of our startup journey.

Duke Safo CEO & Founder

Benjamin guided me through the early bootstrapping phase, helped divide back-office responsibilities across the team, shaped my fundraising strategy, and introduced me to his network of founders, advisors, and investors in the Bay Area. I learned a ton, avoided major pitfalls, saved time and money and ultimately decided to keep him on as an advisor.

Marwan Kalafani Founder & CEO, Pasena

Benjamin has been an essential partner throughout my startup journey. His rare blend of legal acumen and hands-on operational know-how has saved us time, money, and endless stress.

Stephane Gosselin CEO & Founder at OneBalance

Benjamin’s also been a huge help in optimizing our back office, recommending the right tools, streamlining workflows, and customizing key contracts.

Daniel Worsley COO & Founder at OneBalance

I’ve been working with Benjamin since April 2023, as that’s when I started, and he continues to be a valuable legal partner for us. He’s one of the few lawyers we’ve come across who truly understands the legal nuances of blockchain infrastructure.
