SEA619 Business Association

Incubate
SEA619: Business Incubator
For: Early stage founders with big ideas
Do you have a vision but need help bringing it to life? The SEA619 Incubator helps Black founders refine their business models, build MVPs, connect with early users, and prepare for future growth — all without giving up equity.
Accelerate
SEA619: Business Accelerator
For: High potential startups and creators looking to scale
You’ve got traction — now you need access. The SEA619 Accelerator is designed for capital-ready Black founders and digital creators who want to scale fast, raise money smart, and grow without compromise.
Our Full-Stack Approach
SEA619 isn’t a single program; it’s an ecosystem. We designed each offering to be part of a larger journey, with flexible entry points depending on where you are now and where you want to grow.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We believe in clear lanes, consistent support, and culturally grounded innovation.
Why Seattle?
Why Now?
Many wonder why we are building a Black-centered incubator in a city with such a small Black population.
It's simple: Seattle is one of the most resource-rich innovation hubs in the world, and too often, Black entrepreneurs are left out of its opportunity engine.
In 2026, the world arrives here for the FIFA World Cup, placing Seattle in the international spotlight and flooding the region with billions in economic activity.
Yet, without deliberate action, Seattle’s Black businesses risk being sidelined once again, unable to benefit from this historic opportunity due to limited access to resources, capital, and networks.
Despite a relatively small Black population, Seattle is uniquely positioned as a global innovation powerhouse & home to world-leading tech giants, visionary creatives, and one of America's strongest startup ecosystems.
We are seizing this moment to address the preparedness gap facing Black entrepreneurs. SEA619 provides the structure, strategy, and support Black founders need to leverage Seattle’s economic growth fully, turning international attention into sustained prosperity.
Global tech giants and AI pioneers
Nation-leading creative talent
A thriving startup scene with billions in capital
One of the strongest philanthropic ecosystems in the country
A booming small business economy that will only grow with the World Cup, expanded development, and tourism.
And yet, Black founders, creators, and business owners continue to be underrepresented, underfunded, and undervalued.
SEA619 is here to change that, not by asking for access, but by building our infrastructure for wealth, innovation, and visibility.
We're not waiting to be included. We're anchoring a new future, right here, right now. Our program is proof that you don’t need a majority to build momentum. You need clarity, strategy, and community.
