Seabed VC

Investment approach

Thesis

We invest in seed stage companies. Sometimes, just the proverbial two guys in a garage. We believe that 70% of the early success of the company is determined by founders, 20% by product and 10% by the market. A strong founding team can fix the wrong product; a revolutionary product can disrupt an unappealing market. We look for founders who are motivated by a desire to, as Steve Jobs famously said, "make a dent in the universe". We invest with the belief that a strong team is more likely to succeed than a single, strong CEO. We follow a few simple guiding principles: We go out of our way to help our founders when they request it. We can help in every aspect of building a company - finding investors and advisers, hiring, introductions to enterprise customers, operations and supply chain, sales and marketing. You can expect a response from us within a day, often within a couple of hours, any day of the week. We cultivate and celebrate a diversified portfolio of companies with founders of all backgrounds and strengths (we'd love to see more female founders!).Source (opens in a new tab)
