The firm goes out of its way to help portfolio founders with investors, hiring, customers, operations, sales and marketing, and aims to respond within a day.

Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does Seabed VC target?
The firm invests at the seed stage, sometimes backing pre-product teams described on its site as "the proverbial two guys in a garage." It does not advertise follow-on capacity or growth-stage vehicles. The portfolio spans verticals from quantum computing and blockchain to robotics and consumer marketplaces, all entered at their earliest institutional rounds.
Which sectors does Seabed VC explicitly avoid?
The firm does not publish an exclusion list. However, its portfolio is concentrated in deep-tech and engineering-heavy verticals — AI/ML, robotics, quantum computing, blockchain, and aerospace — with limited exposure to consumer-packaged goods, biotech therapeutics, or traditional enterprise SaaS absent a hardware or infrastructure component.
How is Seabed VC related to the Ullal family's other activities?
Vijay Ullal's wife, Jayshree Ullal, is the CEO and Chairperson of Arista Networks. His daughter, Adeeti Ullal, runs The Sita Foundation, a separate philanthropic entity. Seabed VC's website does not describe any co-investment relationship or shared back-office with the family's other ventures, though a residential property at 19384 Chablis Court in Saratoga is associated with the principal.
