Hi, I'm Ben Orenstein!

I'm a tech founder, political writer, and community builder. If any of those things blow your hair back too, I'd love to meet you!

A community for friendly, ambitious people who want to be a bit more vulnerable, connect meaningfully, and build a thriving social scene. We eat dinner together every Sunday, co-work together on Wednesdays, and we're even running a peer-to-peer university where members teach each other about their passions and expertise.

About Me

After five years as co-founder and CEO of Tuple, I stepped back from day-to-day operations to explore what's next. So far, my answer is getting involved in local politics, growing a community, and continuing to collect new hobbies (lately: jiu jitsu and pencil portaiture).

I'm firmly planted in Somerville, Massachusetts; one of the Commonwealth's finest cities. I care deeply about building more housing and creating communities where kind, smart, ambitious people can thrive together.
