Sean Kelly

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.

The Top 5 Trends Reshaping LinkedIn in 2026!

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
  
– Steve Jobs

Too many people settle for good enough.

But great work?
That comes from energy. Obsession. Purpose.

Here’s why loving what you do isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s your competitive edge:

1️⃣ You produce higher-quality work because passion fuels excellence
↳  You care more. You go deeper. You bring ideas to life in ways that obligation never could.

2️⃣ You stay motivated and resilient through challenges
↳  Hard days don’t break you.
↳  They sharpen you.
↳ Because your “why” is stronger than any obstacle.

3️⃣ You attract aligned opportunities, clients, and growth
↳  When you show up with genuine energy, people feel it.
↳  Passion is magnetic, and it draws the right people toward you.

💡 Love your work.
Or keep searching until you do.

👉  P.S. What’s one thing you love about the work you do?
