A long-time venture capitalist, Seth Levine, works with venture funds and companies around the globe. His day job is as a partner at Foundry, a Boulder, CO-based venture capital firm he co-founded in 2006 with over $3.5 billion in assets under management. He is also the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Goodbread, a small business lending platform. Easily distracted and a passionate advocate for entrepreneurship, Seth also spends time as an advisor to venture funds and companies around the world.

The intersection of community and business has always been a driving force for Seth. He co-founded Pledge 1%, a global network of companies that have pledged equity, time, and product back to their local communities. He was a founding board member of StartupColorado, an organization that promotes entrepreneurship in areas of Colorado outside of the front range, serves on the Investment Committee of Gary Community Ventures, which partners with the local community to reshape the arc of opportunity for Colorado kids, and is Board Chair of EforAll Colorado which partners with the local community to foster small business. He is a Trustee of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN, where he helped found their entrepreneurship program as well as a popular student hackathon (the “Macathon”). He serves as a formal advisor to a number of funds and companies in the U.S. and around the world – especially in the Middle East and Africa – to help promote entrepreneurship and economic development.

A passionate cyclist, above-average skier, and general fan of all things outdoors, Seth and his wife live in Colorado with their three children. He is the co-author of The New Builders: Face to Face with the True Future of Business. His new book, Capital Evolution, will be released in 2025.
