PARTNER WITH US
An Alliance for Lasting Impact
SEA619 is more than an incubator program – it’s a community-driven alliance committed to transforming systemic inequities into opportunities for lasting change.
A Community of Accountability, Commitment & Transparency
SEA619 operates within the PAACT framework (the PACE’s Alliance of Accountability, Commitment & Transparency), which means every partnership is grounded in mutual responsibility and openness.
We are bringing together the brightest and most committed leaders across multiple industries to devise and implement strategic plans that drive meaningful, measurable change.
Our consortium of partners spans corporations, foundations, nonprofits, investors, and public institutions – innovators from venture capitalists to community organizers.
Each entity that joins our network pledges to actively address the inequities in its sphere of influence as part of this collective mission.
This is not the place for performative gestures or publicity stunts; it’s a place for action.
By joining the SEA619 alliance, you help deliver a new standard of accountability and transparency in the fight for racial equity, holding ourselves and each other to the promises we make.
Why partner with SEA619?
Founded as a beacon for Black entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators, SEA619 thrives on partnerships that share our vision of empowerment.
By uniting resources and expertise across sectors, we create an ecosystem where underserved talent can flourish and new ventures take flight. Together with our partners, we are building a future where the entire community shares success, not just the few.
Who should partner with us?
We welcome visionary partners from all walks of industry and society.
Whether you are a philanthropic funder seeking high-impact investment in Black futures, a seasoned corporate operator aiming to drive equitable innovation, a service organization offering skills and tools to empower entrepreneurs, or an expert advisor passionate about mentoring the next generation – SEA619 provides a platform for your commitment.
Our partners include everyone from C-level executives and venture capital firms to grassroots nonprofits and educational institutions.
What unites them is a dedication to our shared purpose: leveraging their unique strengths to uplift communities of African descent, starting in Seattle and extending globally.
By joining this alliance, you become part of a cross-sector community rallying around a common cause. You’ll collaborate with peers who, like you, believe in moving beyond business-as-usual to craft sustainable solutions to systemic challenges.
Together, we are not only launching new businesses and artistic projects – we are demonstrating what genuine partnership can achieve.
SEA619 and its partners aspire to be a model of collective impact: a demonstration that when funders, businesses, and community leaders unite under principles of accountability and transparency, real change happens.
We invite you to stand with us in this mission. In partnership, we turn intention into impact, creating a legacy of empowerment that will resonate for generations to come.
