Meet the Founder
Steven Benton
Veteran. Entrepreneur. Investor. Coach. Driven by a simple mission: relentlessly pursue growth and knowledge so he can share it with others.
A Relentless Pursuit of Growth & Knowledge
Steven Benton lives by a simple principle: relentlessly pursue growth and knowledge so you can share it with others. His path to privatized banking didn't come from a sales pitch. It came from that very drive, a genuine hunger to learn and a refusal to keep what he discovers to himself. After 8 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, Steven carried that same discipline and mission-driven mindset into the civilian world, building multiple businesses since 2019 and actively investing in real estate.
When Steven first heard about using dividend-paying whole life insurance as a personal banking system from a trusted source, something clicked: the idea of taking control of his own capital, of no longer playing by traditional banking rules. But he didn't rush in. He spent months studying the concept: reading books, listening to podcasts, networking with practitioners, and doing the deep work before ever opening his first policy.
After funding his own policy and experiencing the power of dividend-paying whole life firsthand, Steven knew this was something he needed to share. He got licensed, and Kinetic Capital Builders was born. Not as a sales operation, but as a platform to help people he genuinely cares about take control of their financial futures.
The mission is clear: help clients keep more of their money, use it in multiple places at once, create arbitrage, and build tax-advantaged wealth. Whether you're a real estate investor looking to recapture interest, a young professional ready to build wealth strategically, or an entrepreneur seeking better capital efficiency, Steven has walked the path himself.
Beyond finance, Steven's vision extends to the fitness community that has shaped his life. As a competitive Jiu Jitsu practitioner and coach, Strongman competitor, and unconventional lifter, he plans to leverage these strategies to help martial artists, gym owners, and fitness professionals gain the financial foundation to turn their passions into thriving businesses. Many have the skills but lack the financial acumen or access to capital. That's where Steven bridges the gap.
“Relentlessly pursue growth and knowledge so I can share it with others.”
