Juan Benet
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find credible evidence of a prominent American businessman named Juan Benet.
Instead, these two figures named “Juan Benet” are well documented:
1. Juan Benet (Spanish Author & Engineer)
-
Full name: Juan Benet Goitia
-
Born: October 7, 1927, Madrid, Spain
-
Died: January 5, 1993, Madrid, Spain
-
Professions & Roles: Civil engineer (by training), novelist, essayist, dramatist, short-story writer
-
Notable Works & Style:
• Volverás a Región (1967) – a landmark novel set in a mythic region he called “Región.” • Una meditación, El aire de un crimen, Saúl ante Samuel, Herrumbrosas lanzas, En la penumbra, El caballero de Sajonia, among others. • He also published essays and literary criticism (e.g. La inspiración y el estilo) -
Significance & Legacy:
• He is considered one of the most influential Spanish writers of the postwar era, especially for his formal experimentation and dense, symbolic prose. • His literary approach was sometimes called “la literatura incorrecta” for its departure from conventional realism.
2. Juan Benet (Computer Scientist / Entrepreneur)
-
Born: March 1988 (approx.)
-
Nationality / Role: American computer scientist and entrepreneur
-

• Founder & CEO of Protocol Labs, which develops decentralized internet and storage technologies. • Creator / lead of IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), a protocol for peer-to-peer data storage and retrieval. • Involved with Filecoin, a cryptocurrency / network tied to decentralized file storage. -
Remarks:
– While this Juan Benet is a prominent technologist and startup founder, he is not typically described as a “businessman” in the conventional sense (though he operates in tech business).
– Some sources claim he holds a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford University.
If you meant “Juan Benet, the computer scientist / tech entrepreneur” or “Juan Benet, the Spanish author”, I can write a full biography for the correct one. Which Juan Benet did you intend?
