Managing Director and Co-Founder, BRiNQ Ventures. Managing Partner, LiNQ Ventures. Ben brings the discipline of business advisory to the brokerage side of a transaction. His background includes CFO roles, international management consulting, private equity, and public accounting, and he is a Florida real estate licensee affiliated with Florida Business Opportunities, Inc. Ben is also a published author, co-writing 'What the Heck Is AI? And How You Can Actually Use It In Your Life.'

BRiNQ Ventures was formed through the partnership of Ben Wagner (LiNQ Ventures) and Mario Bringas (Bridge Gap Funding). LiNQ Ventures brought business advisory experience: preparing companies for sale and understanding what drives value. Bridge Gap Funding brought capital and financing expertise: how acquisitions actually get funded. BRiNQ combines both, treating every transaction as a business decision, a financial decision, and a deal, all at once.

A leaked sale can damage a business before it ever closes. We treat protecting your identity and information as the foundation of everything we do, not an afterthought.

We would rather represent the right listings well than take every listing that comes our way. Focus produces better outcomes for the clients we do take on.

A repeatable, disciplined process for valuation, marketing, buyer vetting, and deal management protects you even when the market gets unpredictable.

We would rather tell you an uncomfortable truth about value or timeline up front than let you find out the hard way, mid-transaction.

We think about businesses the way people who have run and financed them think, not the way a listing aggregator does.

Many of the owners and buyers we work with will transact again, refer others, or come back years later. We build for that, not for a single closing.
A successful sale takes more than finding a buyer. It requires understanding the business, its value drivers, capital structure, and the transaction process. BRiNQ is a business brokerage for owners and buyers in the lower-middle market, not a marketplace or a franchise.
A business sale involving real estate requires a real estate license in Florida. BRiNQ operates under Florida Business Opportunities, Inc, a licensed Florida brokerage, so that part is always handled correctly. We are pursuing IBBA membership and the CBI designation, adding credentials here as earned.
