Seth Levine

Partner

“We’ve always thought about The Foundry Network a bit differently than other firms and recognize that as partners, our role isn’t to control the network (or have connections all run through us), but rather to foster an interconnectedness between and among our community. We are truly greater than the sum of our parts.”

Seth Levine is a partner at Foundry and is a co-founder of the firm. 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 that, since inception, as resulted in nearly $3 billion in philanthropy. 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 children and families, and is the former Board Chair of EforAll Colorado, an organization dedicated to supporting main street entrepreneurship.

Seth 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, about the future of capitalism, will be released in the fall of 2025.
