Founder & Investor. Building companies at the intersection of health, media & founder performance.

Hey there, I’m Sean. I play at the intersection of investing, media and human performance.

I’m a three-time INC 500 founder & entrepreneur with businesses in eCommerce, SaaS, media and B2B services that have collectively generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

Right now, I serve as a General Partner at The Family Fund and am the CEO of Significant Publications, a B2B digital media holding company.

I'm particularly passionate about our brand FounderIV in support of today's founder-athletes. We help today's top entrepreneurs achieve breakout performance in their personal and professional lives.

I co-founded and led multiple other companies, including SnackNation, a health-centric foodservice and brand discovery platform that served 20,000 businesses across the US. 

Under my leadership, SnackNation was honored as one of the country’s Best Workplaces by Inc. Magazine, recognized for Top Company Culture by Entrepreneur Magazine, and certified as a Great Workplace by Great Place to Work®.

Forbes listed me as one of the top 30 leaders under 30 and one of America’s most promising CEOs under 35. Comparably also ranked me among the country’s top 50 small-to-medium sized business CEOs multiple years in a row. 

Outside of the business world, I’m a two-time national medalist in freestyle snowboarding, hold an advisory role at the growth capital firm, Meaningful Partners, have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University and am an avid sports fan of all Michigan sports teams (especially the Wolverines).

I currently live in Venice, CA with my wife and college sweetheart, Shannon, and our goldendoodle, Jameson.

Chairman

One of the oldest laws in markets that everyone forgets:

More capital → more competition → higher entry prices → lower returns.

Abundant capital is great for momentum, but it rarely produces the best long-term outcomes.

The most durable venture returns tend to come from non-obvious places—where fewer checks are being written, expectations are lower, and pricing resets ahead of fundamentals.

You can make money following the herd...

But differentiated returns usually accrue to investors willing to underwrite conviction when capital is scarce.

That’s why we at The Family Fund & Founder Community are bullish on Consumer NOW.

Not despite the pullback in capital—but because of it.

Your Brand Is Talking, But Is It Saying the Right Thing? 🤔

Most CEOs have incredible stories, strong businesses, and bold visions.

But here’s the truth, if your brand positioning isn’t clear, your message blends in instead of standing out.

That’s where I step in. 

I’m Asma Rafat, a Brand Positioning Expert & Strategist helping busy CEOs transform their online presence into a powerful client-attracting machine, without spending hours creating content or chasing leads.

After 3+ years of helping CEOs and agencies strengthen their LinkedIn presence, I use a proven 4-step framework that builds authority and visibility strategically.

Here’s how I help you stand out 👇

👉 Step 1: Brand Clarity & Positioning

I uncover your unique value, define your niche, and craft a positioning strategy that communicates your strengths clearly to your target audience.

👉 Step 2: Profile Optimization

Your profile becomes your digital storefront.

I optimize it to reflect your expertise, credibility, and attract high-value clients effortlessly.

👉 Step 3: Content Strategy & Social Media Management

From storytelling posts to engaging visuals

I create, manage, and schedule content that aligns with your brand voice and drives consistent visibility.

👉 Step 4: Strategic Community Engagement

No more “post and disappear.” 

I engage with the right audience, nurture connections, and turn conversations into qualified leads.

The result?

A brand that works while you focus on scaling your business.
