Who We Are

A family office built for the private market.

Seafront Capital is a family office that specializes in direct investments in leading privately-held technology companies.

What We Do

Access, brokerage, and liquidity — under one roof.

Whether you’re seeking exposure to a specific late-stage company, looking to access curated co-investment vehicles, or holding shares that need a path to liquidity — we’ve spent over a decade building the network and structures to make it simple.

01

Managed Investments

Curated co-investment vehicles that pool capital alongside Seafront's principal investments, opening late-stage opportunities to a broader set of partners at lower minimums.

  • Pooled access to single-asset SPVs and multi-asset funds
  • Investment thresholds well below direct private market deals
  • Seafront principals invest side-by-side in every fund
02

Direct Brokerage

Source private shares of leading technology companies through Seafront's network of individual, institutional, and corporate counterparties — with confidentiality and clean transfer handled end-to-end.

  • Late-stage, venture-backed private company access
  • Discreet sourcing of buyers, sellers, and counterparties
  • Full transaction logistics through close
03

Liquidity for Shareholders

For employees, founders, and early backers holding illiquid private stock, Seafront structures pathways to liquidity — from single-position sales to tender programs.

  • Pre-IPO secondary sale execution
  • Structures tailored to shareholder agreements & ROFRs
  • Confidential introductions to qualified buyers

The Team

Decades of private-market experience — under one Sausalito roof.
