Ben Hick
Value-driven investor helping good people grow strong businesses
Welcome
I’m looking to connect with other business-minded people. Is that you?
I’m a business investor with a background in financial management. I have a degree, but I learned the most from life outside the classroom. I’ve worked long hours, asked a lot of questions, and ultimately learned what matters most in business: people, process, and principles.
Today, I’m focused on investing in small businesses that serve their communities and operate with integrity. Whether it’s a family business preparing for transition or an owner looking to scale without burning out, I aim to bring more than just capital—I bring structure, support, and long-term thinking. I’m a systems guy!
My values are simple: lead by example, stand on principle, and build things that last.
About Me
My career didn’t start in finance — it started in restaurants and construction. I spent over a decade in hands-on roles that taught me how real businesses operate: how they survive, how they serve, and what it takes to keep moving when things get tough.
In my thirties, I went back to school at CU Denver where I ultimately earned a BSBA in Financial Management. After graduation, I became a tax consultant to help commercial property owners mitigate one of their largest annual expenses.
Now, I’m taking what I’ve learned — in the field and behind the desk — and combining it with my passion for entrepreneurship. I’m an investor at heart because I love the journey as much as the success story. Few things fire me up more than seeing people achieve their goals.
I’m especially drawn to practical, foundational businesses in service, retail, and product spaces. The kind of businesses people rely on — and that good people can be proud to run.
If you’re a business owner, operator, or builder with a vision, I’d love to connect.
