Seae Ventures

Seae Ventures is a Boston-based venture capital firm with a mission to advance equity in healthcare by investing in diverse entrepreneurs, particularly women and people of color. Founded in 2019 by former executives of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Seae focuses on early-stage companies developing innovative healthcare technologies and services. Their $107 million inaugural fund is dedicated to startups addressing critical issues like mental health, women’s health, financial wellness, and personalized medicine. Notable investments include platforms like Health In Her Hue, which connects women of color to culturally competent healthcare providers, and Hurdle, a digital mental health service targeting underserved communities. Seae Ventures aims to create long-term value by balancing the needs of patients, providers, and payers while prioritizing companies that serve vulnerable populations. The fund is supported by a coalition of more than 30 investors, including major healthcare institutions like Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates and Goldman Sachs. This strong backing allows Seae to provide not just capital, but also strategic support rooted in deep industry expertise. The firm’s founders, Jason Robart, Tuoyo Louis, and Pete Sally, leverage their vast experience in healthcare venture capital, corporate strategy, and human capital to guide their portfolio companies. Seae Ventures is committed to closing the gender and racial equity gaps in venture funding, making it a significant player in transforming the healthcare landscape for historically overlooked communities.
