Ben Patterson

Ben brings to Elementum a unique perspective and skill set forged in an array of experiences: making music for Universal Records, running IT and data infrastructure at Stanford University and the Stanford Cancer Institute, co-founding a company in media technology and operating a 38-employee SaaS startup. Today, some of the best minds in business rely on Ben’s perspective: he advises both the 1517 Fund and 10k Investments, the venture arm of the Coors family. Most recently, Ben was a Venture Partner with UP2398, a single-LP seed fund backed by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar.
