S6 Bonus: Ben Turner, Verituity
Ben Turner's grandfathers were both an entreprenuer. One grandfather went to Cornell, but ended up buying a fishing boat and then eventually, a hardware store. His other grandfather started a grain elevator after WWII, followed by going into real estate. He learned to be blind to risk, which is important in starting something new. Outside of tech, he likes to do outdoor activities, like kayaking, mountain biking and trail running. Ben was apart of a company called Network Solutions, and when they started that company, there wasn't the concept of a payment gateway. To make a solution work, you had many technical hurdles that existed. Two years ago, Ben started looking into how you solve this problem. This is the creation story of Verituity.
