Benjamin Way is an English entrepreneur best known for his appearance on the Channel 4 television show Secret Millionaire.

Ben won the "New Business Millennium Young Entrepreneur Of The Year" in 2000 at the age of 19, which was given to him by Gordon Brown. However, after a dispute with the investors in 2001, he was diluted out of the business and lost everything. It is reported that he was in the Sunday Times Rich List under Robbie Williams the same day he could not buy a tube ticket.

He went on to advise both the UK and US governments in technology, before heading up technical and environmental investments and due-diligence for the Rotch Property Group who have over 1 Billion in asset management.

In 2003 he started The Rainmakers, which is an innovations and corporate venturing company. He also has involvement in a number of other companies.

In 2006, he appeared on the Channel 4 prime time TV show Secret Millionaire where he gave away 40,000 in a philanthropic act after spending two weeks in Hackney as a volunteer. 20,000 was given to a youth organisation, 10,000 to a young entrepreneur, and another 10,000 as a thank you to one key member of the Hackney community.

In 2007 Ben launched the pro social website HorsesMouth which made it into the top 25 UK web 2.0 start-ups.

In early 2007 he was invited to join Brightstation Ventures, a $100m technology VC fund as the CIO (Chief Innovations Officer) where he has worked with projects such as miomi and Shiny Media.

In September 2007 he launched the world's first POIP service, Via Post, which changes the way mail distribution operates in the UK.
