What our founders say
-
I have been working with Ben and Ariel for the past two years, and I can confidently say that they are the hardest working and most valuable investors we have.
What sets them apart is their unique blend of deep understanding of both hard science and marketing—a combination rarely found in other investors.

They are thinking about your startup from the get-go, whether it's talking about it with someone they meet at a coffee shop or at a conference.
To that end, I have never met people with such good networks!
Ariel is always there for you as a founder - whether it's for a confidence boost, problem-solving, or recruiting. She really is 'in the trenches with you.'

Arben is so much more than just a fund. They've given me amazing connections and opportunities that have made a huge difference early-on in building our company.

Ariel and Ben were among the first investors who believed in us when we had limited resources.
The connections and insights facilitated by Arben Ventures have significantly increased our visibility and credibility within the U.S. investor community. Their investment goes beyond capital; they are genuinely invested in the success of the businesses they support.

The world needs more investors like them—savvy, smart, creative, and strategic, yet also great humans.
In the nine months since Arben's investment, Ariel and Ben have shown unwavering support. Ariel and Ben immediately grasped the depth and breadth of our vision from both a science and business perspective and expressed their willingness to help us achieve it.

I love the founder's program - it's a great way to connect with my peers, which is difficult to do normally since we're all so busy.

Their domain expertise, as well as questions that were sensitive & specific to the industry really reassured me that not only do they get it– but immediately Ariel was able to pull in clinicals experts in the field to validate the need from the product.
I can genuinely say from my experience getting funded by the leading U.S. government science agency, NSF, and garnering support from health insurance companies to Johnson & Johnson, that their commitment to founder success is unprecedented.

So proud of our GP, Ariel Ganz!
Her strength and resilience in her personal journey is very inspiring.
She’s not just an incredible investor, but also someone who genuinely cares about making the world better. It’s a privilege for me and Julia Cigarroa Heymach to be mentored by such a dedicated and compassionate woman!
