Our Mission
We're on a mission to provide unparalleled support and resources to early-stage companies in the health and wellness space, giving them a significant advantage in achieving success. As a result, we aim to build a healthier and happier world. Partners Harrison Valner and Ryan Roddy bring their extensive entrepreneurial expertise and leverage their deep networks across various sectors, including angel investors, venture capital funds, thought leaders, influencers, operators, PR firms, branding agencies, and more.
We work closely with our portfolio companies, collaborating with founders on a daily basis. Our team at Seaside understands the unique challenges faced by startups, and we strive to provide comprehensive assistance. We have a network of designers, developers, logistics experts, PR agencies, software professionals, and other professionals who are readily available to support the launch of each pre-venture portfolio company.
While our entrepreneurs have the autonomy to operate independently, Seaside is always ready to step in and offer guidance for any unanswered questions or challenges. We have curated a proprietary network of advisors and industry experts for founders to tap into, allowing them to access invaluable knowledge and expertise without diluting their equity or spending excessive time searching for the right resources.
