Seattle: Where Black Innovation Takes Flight
SEA619 is a new kind of business organization, incubator, and accelerator. We equip Black founders, creators, and business owners with the tools, networks, and resources to survive, scale, and soar. Launching now from Seattle.
SEA619 is a nonprofit program grounded in community and built for long-term impact, anchored at The Union, and powered by PACE, located in downtown Seattle. We support brick & mortar small businesses & CPG brands, tech startups, artists, and digital creators.
Our mission is to protect and prepare Black founders before they enter traditional capital markets, ensuring survivability, clarity, and strategic growth. We don't take equity. We build capacity.
Starting a business or building your creative dreams shouldn't feel like a constant uphill battle. But for too many Black entrepreneurs, that's precisely what it's been. From banks that won’t lend, to investors that overlook, and gatekeepers who just don’t get it, the road has been way more complicated than it should be.
SEA619 is not here to give motivational speeches; we exist to help your ideas stick and gain traction. We’re here to provide resources in the form of strategic guidance and a real growth plan that allows entrepreneurs to bootstrap or become better positioned for capital infusion via loans or investment.
This is a place built by us, for us. No fluff. Just economic freedom and foundational support.
