We had Ben Metcalfe on our podcast who in addition to having a very debonair accent, has am amazing story related to his journey into the world of the Silicon Valley.

Ben’s journey to becoming a VC, he's now a partner at Ridge Ventures. Ben started in his native England working as a software engineer for the BBC news website. The company decided to move employees from London to Manchester, and Ben's appeal to move to SF didn't get approved, he decided to take a risk and head to SF on his own.
