Ben Porterfield's LinkedIn profile simply identifies him as an “experienced surfer” — and that's an accurate moniker. In addition to regularly riding the waves off the Santa Cruz coast, he's surfed the swells at a number of startups. First as the lead engineer at Sticky, Inc., and then co-founder of Rally Up (a mobile startup acquired by AOL in 2010) he's the kind of guy who makes serial entrepreneurism look easy even when it's not.
