I’m Ben Pappas—Head of AI & Innovation at Valuetainment, PBD Podcast, Bet-David Consulting, and Minnect. I build AI systems and data infrastructure that move fast and scale clean. My focus: turning complexity into leverage and making companies sharper, faster, and harder to compete with. What I’ve Done I’ve built and exited three companies, including Beti.ai, which was acquired by Summit Risk. I joined as COO post-acquisition and helped lead a $100M raise. I build AI systems and data infrastructure that scale—no buzzwords, just results. What I’m Into AI, data, and blockchain—when there’s real utility. I’ve been deep in Bitcoin since the early days and still write smart contracts when they’re actually needed. No tech theater. Just tools that work and ideas that cut through noise. What Grounds Me Family. Art. God. I’ve sold $2M+ in original artwork, coach youth sports, and try to keep the balance between intensity and meaning. Reach out about: • Building with AI (without the hype) • Scaling a startup to exit • Building Systems that Scale • Transforming data into revenue • Smart contracts + crypto strategy I don’t waste time—let’s get into it.
