Ben Grabiner

Ben is a graduate of London School of Economics, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Government and Economics.

Ben is a Founding Partner at Side Stage Ventures, a leading early stage venture fund in Australia.  Built by founders for founders, we write the first cheque into exceptional companies and then lean in to help the founders build and scale.  

​

Ben was also the Co-Founder of Platoon,  a platform for emerging creative talent that helped launched the careers of global artists such as Billie Eilish & Jorja Smith and was acquired by Apple in 2018.  Prior to that, Ben was the first employee at UK-based venture fund, LocalGlobe.

When not helping founders create and scale transformative companies, Ben can usually be found chasing his three young kids around the park.
