Seafront Capital

Seafront targets secondaries and direct co-investments in private technology companies. It deploys across buyout and growth stages through direct co-investments, SPVs and managed co-investment funds. Confirmed positions in its track record include early secondary purchases in DoorDash, Affirm and Color Health, plus holdings in Instacart, Ripple, Reddit, Robinhood, Crusoe, Fluidstack, Ayar Labs, Replit, Skyryse and Mach Industries. Activity centers on North America with primary sourcing in Silicon Valley networks. The firm lists three professionals. Garrett Paul leads principal investing and alternative allocation. Andrew Dude executes private stock transactions and liquidity services. No additional offices are disclosed.
