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

Sprouts Farmers Market HQ visit was 🔥

A core tenant of ours at The Family Fund is to create partnerships and collaborations with the most influential people and businesses within the consumer ecosystem.

Those folks who can most move the needle for the founders and companies were fortunate enough to support.

And Sprouts is at the top of this list.

Not sure if any other retailers care as much about helping emerging brands succeed…

And being the first to do so.

When brands partner with Sprouts correctly, king and queen-making can occur.

Thanks to Kim Coffin Scott Romano and Brody Burk for the hospitality, and much more so…

For caring so damn much about the work you do. 

Josh Wand and I loved jamming with you.

Too may legends too little time.

Such is life at Expo West.

Loved seeing each one of you.

I continue to be inspired by the better-for-you consumer ecosystem.

Most importantly the founders that are battling each and every day to solve problems that they deeply care about.

We are in the golden age of CPG.

AI ain’t removing our need for atoms and physical goods.

And with the OpEx reduction automation will allow us to experience…

Better margins…

Higher enterprise valuations…

And entrepreneurship will continue to explode.

Love where we’re at!

Some guys have all the luck.

Just ran into Livio (Italian for “Living Legend”) at Expo West.

He somehow got his hands on a Founderland golden ticket!!

Tried to buy it off of him but he refused.

An early access, VIP ticket to the top B2B consumer health event in Malibu, CA on October 1st!

“Where founders have fun AND deals get done.”

1,000+ of today’s top founders, retailers, strategics and investors…

A B2B festival where value and serendipity reign and transactional behavior is lame.

If any of you know Livio Bisterzo please advise because I am willing to go to incredible lengths to get my hands on of these.

A Founderland.us golden ticket!!!

First Founderland Adventure trip in the books.

Yellowstone Club was 🤯

The founder crew we put together was even better.

I don't believe there is a better way create meaningful relationships then getting off of screens, away from the norm and experiencing 3 days of new challenges & outdoor adventure together.

Thanks to our friends and legendary co-hosts:

- Matthew LaCasse Ethan Greaves and Lizzi Ackerman LaCasse from E+PATROL (and our beautiful hosts at YC)

- Kristofer Reddaway, CEPA® from Citizens 

- Gareth Domingo from AppLovin

And to Stephen Ellsworth from poppi for inspiring me to put this ski trip together when we were hanging at Founderland last year.

Pumped (and already planning) the next one... 
 (Have a feeling these adventure trips will be another key way we bring founders together in a differentiated way at The Family Fund & Founder Community)

And thanks to the phenomenal leaders, founders and friends who made this experience OTT:

🎬 The Only Movie Ever Filmed in Outer Space! 🛰️ 

For decades, movies have simulated space.

Studios.
Special effects.
Zero-gravity flights.

But in 2021, filmmakers did something no one had ever done before:

They filmed a movie in actual outer space.

The film was The Challenge, widely recognized as the first movie ever shot aboard the International Space Station.

To make it happen, actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko launched to the ISS on Soyuz MS-19.

The story follows a surgeon sent to space to perform an emergency operation on an astronaut in zero gravity.

But the real story is what happened behind the scenes.

To prepare, the crew went through astronaut-style training for months.

They had to learn how to:
▪ work in microgravity
▪ use equipment safely aboard the ISS
▪ adapt to strict space-station protocols
▪ rethink filming basics like lighting, camera movement, and sound

Once in orbit, the ISS became their set.

Every movement floated.
Every tool had to be secured.
Every minute had to be planned.

And that’s what makes this project so remarkable:

It proved that human creativity does not stop at Earth’s atmosphere.

What once sounded impossible became real through:
▪ innovation
▪ collaboration
▪ courage

The Challenge is more than a film.

It is a moment in history where storytelling literally left the planet.

“Greatness is attained only by thinking of great thoughts!”

– Wallace D. Wattles

Most people try to upgrade their results…

Without upgrading their thinking.

But greatness doesn’t start in your calendar.

It starts in your mind.

Here are 3 ways to apply this today 👇

1️⃣ Expand your potential by elevating your thinking
Great results begin with great thoughts.

If you think small…
You act small.

If you think strategically…
You act intentionally.

When you raise your standards mentally:

→ You expect more from yourself
→ You tolerate less mediocrity
→ You pursue bigger goals

Your actions rise to match your thoughts.

2️⃣ Build confidence through possibility
Confidence isn’t magic.
It’s mental conditioning.

When you consistently think in terms of:

→ Growth
→ Opportunity
→ Abundance

You stop asking,
“Can I do this?”

And start asking,
“How can I make this happen?”

Great thoughts fuel bold action.

3️⃣ Attract better opportunities through better decisions
Your thoughts shape:

→ What you pursue
→ What you ignore
→ How you show up
→ What you believe you deserve

The moment you start thinking “great”…

You begin making decisions aligned with greatness.

And that changes everything.

Average thinking produces average results.

Elevated thinking produces elevated outcomes.

Guard your mind accordingly.

👉 P.S. What’s one limiting thought you’re ready to replace with a greater one this week?
