Venture capitalist and financier Ben Boyer has led investments in businesses across three continents, helped raise over $1.5B in capital, and sat on the board of 11 companies. His 14 successful exits include Eventbrite, Kayak, and Lyft. Now, the gravity of the present moment has pulled this investor out of the boardroom and into the trenches. As co-founder of R-Zero, he's taken on a new mission: stopping the spread of pathogens in the COVID-19 era and beyond.

Ben's first foray into the world of investing came nearly twenty years ago. After signing on as an associate at Lehman Brothers Venture Partners in 2000, his outstanding work ethic and insight was rewarded with a General Partner position in 2004. When the 2008 financial crash left Lehman in bankruptcy, Ben seized the opportunity to spin out LBVP into an independent firm, forming Tenaya Capital in 2009. Serving as Managing Director, he helped grow Tenaya into a leading early growth technology-focused fund, managing an impressive $1.5B in assets.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Realizing he had a unique opportunity to save lives — and to revolutionize the $200B+ infection prevention industry —Ben stepped away from his work at Tenaya to launch R-Zero Systems.Leveraging a suite of thoughtfully-designed, hospital-grade technologies and science-backed protocols, R-Zero seeks to create a new standard for disinfection in public spaces. Their products are already in use in thousands of classrooms, restaurants, and small businesses, paving the way for a return to safer everyday spaces and common places.
