Okay, so it's middle of 2021 and it's time to take a stocks, using Wikipedia and google search as main sources. But let's travel back a little. So his first start up, even before Flogg, was some unsophisticated online game, which cost him few hours of coding. He managed to sell it for 85.000$ after some time. I suppose it was at this moment he decided to create full scale startup. And so Flogg was founded in april 2015, to let "young people to buy and sell". Rewinding to the end of 2016, however, we discover it was ultimately closed due to "lack of profitability". It is not the end of the story, nonetheless, and person reading this comment has to brace oneself in forefeeling of this tale's continuation.
So hero of our story decided to try again, this time creating app called Monkey, video chat similar to Omegle and Chatroulette. Flashforwarding 1 year later, to the end of 2017, he sold it to Holla app, rival videochat for and undisclosed sum(which likely was not very large). As a small digression, Holla (not confused with Hola, with one "l", which is similar, but separate videochat app) was created mainly for Apple Store(same as both of Ben Pasternak's apps — Flogg and Monkey). Nevertheless in 2020 it(together with Monkey) was removed from Apple Store due to multiple complaints of "unwanted sexual approaches", and now seems to exist as living dead company.
After selling his second start up Ben decided to concentrate his efforts on something more materialistic, and founded company with a goal of creating
an artificial food(particularly a chicken nugget from plant inputs), not stating however, what distinguishes his startup from projects done in big companies. He managed to harvest around 11 million dollars, but yet again, jumping to current date, we can hear no news from this company, marking another blank startup.
P.S. Thanks for reading, english is my second language and i spent some time writing this comment.

@nickierainbow You are messing with me, trolling. Ok. I won't be raging or something.
It's just that I am perfectionist. I always strive to become better and gain new skills. And for me settling for someone who is not obsessed with me is humiliating. Will such girl abandon me later? Who knows, but statistic says -- most likely yes. Would I be special for a girl who had previous partners? Yes, I would be "special". Her ex-boyfriend was "special" too. But actually none of us were REALLY special, she just changed us like a pair of gloves. But I am not gloves. And I won't be chasing and courting girl who doesn't care(I mean REALLY care, more than about any other guy in the whole world) about me deep inside.
I understand when some other incels are being told to lower their standards. But why should I? I am taller than most, stronger than most, smarter than most, I am not fat and even my jawline is not that of an incel. My standards regarding beauty are not that strict, I consider attractive something like 20-40 percent of women in 18-40 age gap(including the woman on your user pic, whoever she is, just for reference). Where should I lower my standards? To the old, morbidly obese, ugly or disabled? No, my standards are reasonable, and I would rather be alone than lower them.
Why should I chase girl who is not interested in me initially? Yes there a lot of couples who formed this way, but their "love" is not genuine. In such couple any affection a girl has is just induced, like electric current induces magnetic field. I don't want that. I don't want to just be a betabuxx who some woman will use to secure her financial prospects. And I'm not desperate for sex. I have porn. Yes, real woman is much better, if you have emotional connection and trust, but for me this can not be one-sided. And I can survive without sex.
You can mock me as much as you want, it won't hurt my feelings, and you wouldn't be the first one. I always was mocked because I have self-respect, I don't like to make fool of myself, and I am inspired by great scientist and philosophers of the past, like Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton or John Locke(and many others). I will continue to aspire to new heights, and sorry I'm not gonna sacrifice my masculinity or become some girl's walking wallet just to get a girlfriend.
