We are on a mission to EDUCATE, ACCELERATE, and INVEST in entrepreneurs who are creating solutions to social problems.
SEED SPOT is an organization deeply rooted in the community. We are a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting all social entrepreneurs creating a product, service, or technology that improves lives or makes the world a better place. We support entrepreneurs by surrounding them with the right access to resources, mentors, business fundamentals, community partners, capital sources, and anything they need to succeed.
Our community is founded upon a set of unwavering core values.
ALL DREAMERS

Community
It takes a village to create change in the world. We believe in building and leveraging expertise and talent within communities to accelerate ideas.

We value game-changing ideas that push the envelope and drive hard toward creating real impact in the lives of people and communities.
DREAMING BIG
We believe in dreaming big, pursuing ideas through an opportunistic lens, and putting energy into what is possible.
Meet the Team
Everyday we each ask ourselves, “How did I help entrepreneurs today?” We are a team of problem solvers, brainstormers, dreamers, and get-sh*t-doners. We are fueled by coffee and passion to work with entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and beliefs. We unequivocally believe that entrepreneurs will lead the charge of innovating and solving the toughest problems facing our cities, our states, and our world.
