Seamans Capital Management
At Seamans Capital Management, our mission is to provide more return with less risk through sustainability-focused investments. To meet the demands of a technologically-driven future and contribute to societal stability, we believe it is important to support investments that will provide strong financial returns while enabling environmental vitality. We envision a global society, wherein individuals are free to maximize their personal development, while simultaneously contributing to a world civilization, rooted in economic stability, and wise stewardship of the earth’s resources.
In 2013, our macro research identified “early adapter opportunities” in the transition from a carbon-based era to a technology-based era; and so began our journey of investing, on a personal basis in clean tech. We consciously decided to fund, with our own resources, the growth of the firm, until there emerged a new stability of investment opportunities in what some are calling the Integral Era.
