Hi, I'm Ben Blume ️

I'm a Partner at VC fund Atomico, and a former strategy consultant, software engineer and computer scientist.

I spend my time thinking about how new technology innovations, particularly AI and machine learning, can be used by companies to solve hard business problems.

I live in London with my wife. We like to cook.
