Links LLC operates a portfolio of 22 web properties across IT services, cybersecurity education, community media, STEM education, commerce, and mission-driven initiatives. Every property serves a purpose.
Links LLC is a digital portfolio company based in Pulaski, Virginia — in the heart of the New River Valley. Founded and operated by Ben Linkous, a retired Army Master Sergeant, the company manages 22 web properties spanning managed IT services, cybersecurity education, community journalism, STEM education, commerce, and personal mission work.
The name reflects the core purpose: connecting things that are often kept separate. Technology and community. Education and service. Local business and digital reach. Veterans and civilian opportunity.
Every property in the Links ecosystem exists for a reason — either to generate the revenue that funds the mission, or to be part of the mission itself. The financial engine funds the heart.
Retired Army Master Sergeant with nearly 30 years of service. Ben grew up in Pulaski, Virginia, left to serve, and came back. He serves on the Pulaski Planning Commission and is building the Links ecosystem as both a business and a civic project.
After retiring from the military, Ben transitioned into technology, cybersecurity, and education — building 22 websites with no formal computer science background, using AI as a co-pilot. The story of that process lives at link2it.io.
The goal, in his own words: "Make a difference and have fun." The MSP funds the mission. The mission is the rest of it.
