Seth Levine

A longtime venture capitalist, Seth Levine works with venture funds and companies around the globe. His day job is as a partner at Foundry, a venture capital firm based in Boulder, CO, which he cofounded in 2006, with nearly $4 billion in assets under management. Easily distracted and a passionate advocate for entrepreneurship, Seth also spends time as an advisor to entrepreneurs and policymakers—in the U.S. as well as in markets in the Middle East and Africa—to help promote entrepreneurship and economic development. He cofounded Pledge 1%, a global network of companies that have pledged equity, time, and product back to their local communities, and is a trustee of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he helped found their entrepreneurship program as well as a popular student hackathon (the “Macathon”). A passionate cyclist, above-average skier, and general fan of all things outdoors, Seth lives in Colorado with his wife and their three children. He and Elizabeth are the co-authors of The New Builders.
