Our Mission

Partners Ryan Roddy and Harrison Valner work at their desks

We’re on a mission to reshape the future of healthcare aka Medicine 3.0. Today’s system is reactive and fragmented, leaving millions facing rising rates of chronic disease, declining mental health, and gaps in access to quality care. But the shift to proactive, preventative health—powered by innovation—is already underway and we are at the forefront of it.

At Seaside Ventures, we bridge the gap between scientific breakthroughs and real-world impact. We invest in startups that tackle root causes of health challenges, delivering scalable, science-driven solutions that empower individuals to take control of their well-being.

Our partners, Harrison Valner and Ryan Roddy, leverage their expertise and vast networks to provide more than funding—they help founders navigate commercialization, scale their impact, and create meaningful change. Together, we’re paving the way to a healthier, more resilient future for all.

The Shift to Medicine 3.0

From Reactive to Proactive

Medicine 2.0 focused on treating symptoms after they emerged, often leading to recurring health issues and higher costs. Medicine 3.0 prioritizes prevention, addressing root causes before problems escalate.

From Fragmented to Personalized

Healthcare has been reactive and one-size-fits-all, delaying diagnoses and limiting effective treatment options. Medicine 3.0 leverages technology and data to deliver personalized, precision care that meets individuals’ unique needs.

From Access Gaps to Empowered Care

With millions lacking access to quality care, Medicine 2.0 created disparities in outcomes. Medicine 3.0 democratizes health through consumer-driven solutions, empowering individuals to take control of their well-being.

What We Look For

01

Root Cause Focus

We back companies that solve critical health issues at their source, not just treat symptoms.

02

Defensible Innovation

Startups must leverage proprietary science or technology that offers a clear market advantage.

03

Market Readiness

We invest in solutions that are validated and poised for commercialization.

04

Scalable Impact

Products must have the potential to scale and improve the health of millions globally.

05

Visionary Teams

We partner with founders who are driven by purpose and equipped to lead transformative change.

When We Invest

While it’s never too early for Seaside to get involved, it’s sometimes too late. We become involved with our portfolio companies on the ground floor and work tirelessly with them to build health & wellness companies that will make the world a happier and healthier place.
