| about: | Hi, I'm Ben Metcalfe (aka @dotBen) - venture capitalist (Monochrome Capital, monochrome.vc), startup founder (WP Engine), former engineer (BBC, MySpace), former product manager (Uber, WP Engine). Before I moved to the dark-side of VC, I built + ran Uber's Public Policy Product & Technology division, which was a crazy and eye-opening experience going from ~1000 worldwide to 6000+ people when I left. I am also one of the two founders of WP Engine (http://wpengine.com) but have not worked there since 2014, views are just my own, etc. A long time ago I helped build the BBC News Website as a software engineer, back when Objective C was a server-side language :). I went on to design and run the BBC's developer platform and later I was Director of Engineering for MySpace's Developer Platform - back when MySpace was a thing, I promise.
