Going underground with Weston Bergmann, BetaBlox’s alpha male

• Bergmann: real-world entrepreneur.

“I have a disease,” Weston Bergmann says. He makes this confession underground, 120 feet below Mercier Street. “I mean ‘disease’ in such a good way.”

The point man and founding investor of BetaBlox actually looks pretty healthy, even sitting in this neon-green conference room, under the unforgiving bulbs that illuminate his company’s subterranean hive of offices. His red hair is combed to perfection, his jaw so square it could beat you at Dungeons and Dragons. The sleeves of his plaid shirt are rolled to the elbows, exposing meaty forearms with raised, pipeline veins.
