Ben Elowitz

Ben Elowitz has had a career in startups, making his Reboot-famous mother apoplectic about why he doesn’t go back to school, get an advanced degree, and make something of his life. Ben has been a co-founder of Blue Nile (diamonds) and Wetpaint (social media), and an early employee of Fatbrain.com (books), and now has co-founded a new VC-backed enterprise software company called Zeitworks. He also spends a lot of time as a so-called “startup rabbi” (with thanks to Roy B, and apologies to clergy) and is a top-two favorite abba-daddy to Rebecca Elizabeth Blackwitz.
