Meet the founder
About the team
Phil Bennett brings 20+ years of experience building and leading engineering teams at companies like Klarna and Kilo Health.
After witnessing how traditional tech companies handle user data and seeing talented professionals lose their accumulated knowledge with every job change, Phil founded Brainfork to solve a problem he's experienced firsthand: your intellectual capital should belong to you, not your employer.
Author of “Punk Leadership: Screaming Together in the Same Direction,” Phil has dedicated his career to building products that put people first. Based in Berlin, he's applying punk philosophy to tech infrastructure, creating systems that empower users rather than exploit them.
“The tech industry has systematically broken the relationship between professionals and their knowledge. We're here to fix that.”
Our Punk Philosophy Applied to Tech
Do It Yourself (DIY) Knowledge Management
Just as punks created their own record labels and zines, you should own your knowledge infrastructure.
Technical Minimalism
“Good Engineering is as little Engineering as possible” - We use the simplest, most robust technology to give you maximum control.
Screaming Together in the Same Direction
We're building a community of professionals who refuse to let their intellectual capital be owned by their employers or tech platforms.
