Our Story

At Seae, we don’t look, sound, or act like a “traditional” venture firm. Founded in 2019, we’re passionately committed to the idea that diverse teams can drive premium returns through innovative solutions. And we’re privileged to work with uniquely bold, disruptive startups that are advancing healthcare, generating strong returns, and saving lives.  And we are having a bit of fun while doing it.

​​Our distinct approach to diversity is based on our belief that diverse teams drive higher returns and have a material impact on delivering better health outcomes. Seae’s portfolio is comprised of diverse founders, with women and BIPOC representing a welcome, ever-growing, and long overdue presence.

In 2024, Seae Ventures was honored to bring Unseen Capital into the Seae family as its pre-seed/early seed vehicle. While the passing of Unseen’s founder, Kayode Owens, was deeply unfortunate, we are committed to honoring his legacy and continuing his vision of investing in underrepresented founders of early-stage healthcare companies who are building solutions for marginalized communities. We welcome the existing portfolio into the Seae family and look forward to continuing the mission to ensure capital reaches the broadest range of entrepreneurs and communities.

"The historical approach to funding innovation hasn’t worked for everyone. We’re changing the paradigm."
