About Ben Tesch

Designer, developer, leader, and idea factory who creates things people can use and enjoy. I have strong product and design sense, innovative ideas, and a diverse skill set to take an idea from conception to completion — whether leading a team or with my own two hands. I am interested working on big ideas with other people who are smart, have a strong design sense, and care about what they do.

   A new startup from the founders of Breaking News, Factal gives companies the facts they need in real time when the unexpected happens. Global incidents like wildfires, shootings, explosions and floods pose an immediate threat to nearby company employees, customers, and assets. But in those critical early moments, information is scattered on social media with disorienting and often false details.Factal converts unverified information into trusted, verified data, enabling companies to identify highest-risk incidents and respond faster and more effectively to protect people, avoid disruptions and even drive real-time automation.Factal is founded on a public service mission to protect people from harm around the world.
