The Seabright Companies were founded by angel investors with decades of experience operating technology startups, getting them to market, and raising follow on capital. The Seabright Companies are based in Santa Cruz, CA and emphasize investment in local technology businesses where great technology teams need to bring in business management and go to market resources to make their product vision succeed. Seabright has office space right in the Santa Cruz harbor with room for a half dozen start-ups in the early stages, before a company has grown to need its own office space. An ideal candidate to become a Seabright Company would be a team of one or more engineers seeking seed stage investment to bring their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to market. Some Seabright Companies are the winners of hackathons and programs like Founder Institute. Seabright does not invest in companies seeking only cash investment without the desire to use other Seabright resources. Seabright has the finance, engineering, marketing and business development resources which can create the full support package to take a great technology team and bring their idea to market fast. The Seabright Companies management team has sold hundreds of millions of dollars of good and services and returned hundreds of millions of dollars to happy investors.
