Starting The Journey
We started the interview by asking, “Which career path led you to where you are today?”
Ben Sharon shared, “I started my journey as an entrepreneur 10 years ago, founding businesses in computing, cyber services, and digital marketing, mainly focusing on fintech, cyber, and health startups. I also represented investors from the Middle East, USA, Europe, and Israeli startups, facilitating their international market penetration. These experiences helped me understand the technological landscape and the financial world, ultimately creating LumiShare, an innovative solution in the blockchain ecosystem.”
Major Inspiration
We wanted to learn about the significant factors that inspired Ben Sharon to develop his company. We asked, “What inspired you to develop the idea for your company?”
Ben Sharon shared, “During my years, We saw two clear needs: renewable energy companies were struggling to obtain funding, and investors were looking for safe and valuable alternatives to traditional investment opportunities. LumiShare was born from the ambition to bridge this gap, offering renewable energy companies easier access to financing while offering investors a more reliable investment.”
Evolving Priorities
To gain insight into Ben’s evolving priorities regarding his business, we asked, “How have your priorities in terms of business evolved since you first started?”
Ben Sharon shared, “Initially, I was focused on technology and cyber services. However, as my career progressed, I saw the crucial need to merge technology with financial services, specifically addressing the funding gaps in the renewable energy sector. Thus, our priorities shifted towards sustainability, leading to the creation of LumiShare’s blockchain ecosystem.”
Overcoming Obstacles
Every business faces specific challenges in its journey. So we asked, “What are the most challenging situations your company overcomes?”
Ben Sharon shared, “One of the main challenges is to build a transparent and reliable blockchain ecosystem that truly addresses the financing needs of renewable energy projects and provides investors with data-driven risk management tools. This requires us to continuously integrate and coordinate with third-party technological solutions to ensure accurate data capturing and display on our platform.”
“What’s the key strength to overcome it?”
Ben Sharon shared, “Our key strength lies in our robust team of experts from the Blockchain, Renewable Energy, Fintech, and Global Banking industries, coupled with our commitment to creating a transparent and reliable ecosystem. This, together with the confidence shown by our investors and partners, including the private office of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Ahmed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, reinforces our ability to navigate these challenges.”
Stand-Out Factors
Businesses must consider having certain unique features that separate them from their competitors. We asked, “What makes your company stand out from all the other businesses in your industry?”
Ben Sharon shared, “LumiShare is unique in combining blockchain technology, sustainability, and investment in a single platform – LumiPlace. Our $LUMI token is a unique token backed by three uncorrelated assets – physical gold, a recovery fund (cash reserve), and technology (the stabilization algorithm).”
KPI For Measuring Business Success
“What KPIs do you use to measure your business success?”
Ben Sharon shared, “Key performance indicators for us include the number of renewable energy projects funded through our platform, the value of $LUMI tokens traded, the returns generated for our investors, and the increase in our reserves, indicating our token’s stability and reliability.”
Current Services
We were intrigued to learn about the available services of Ben’s company. So we asked, “Tell us something about your products. What are you working on now?”
Ben Sharon shared, “Our main product is LumiPlace, our asset-backed NFT Marketplace that tokenizes renewable energy assets, providing alternative capital for these projects and allowing individual and institutional investors to invest in green energy. We’re focused on enhancing our technological integrations to provide real-time data to our investors.”
Effective Teamwork
Having a solid team is an asset for the company. We asked, “How do you build trust with your employees and boost productivity without causing burnout?”
Ben Sharon shared, “We believe in maintaining transparency with our employees and fostering an environment where open communication is encouraged. Our leadership team is focused on setting realistic goals and providing the necessary resources to meet these objectives. We also emphasize the importance of work-life balance to prevent burnout.”

Ben Sharon shared, “We invest time and resources in research and development, attend industry conferences, and maintain relationships with top industry experts and thought leaders. Our team continually learns and adapts to the latest blockchain and fintech innovations to maintain our cutting-edge platform.”
Advice To Beginners
For beginners starting in a similar industry will be inspiring and helpful to hear from experts like Ben Sharon. So we asked, “What advice would you give starting entrepreneurs?”
Ben Sharon replied, “Embrace change and be ready to adapt. The business landscape constantly evolves, and staying rigid can limit your growth. Surround yourself with experts, be open to learning, and stay true to your vision while being flexible.”
