About Seebridge

Brant Richards has spent three decades at the intersection of technology, business, and scale.

He studied Symbolic Systems at Stanford — the intersection of AI, human-computer interaction, linguistics, and cognitive science — as an American Physical Society Scholar under Nobel laureate Douglas Osheroff. He earned his MBA at IMD in Lausanne, Europe's top-ranked business school.

As Managing Director of Third Derivative at Rocky Mountain Institute, he led an ecosystem-based climate tech accelerator that mobilized over $500 million in capital for gigaton-potential technologies.

He co-founded Younicos in Berlin, where his team deployed Europe's first megawatt-scale grid battery and the world's first 100% renewable microgrid. He served as Entrepreneur in Residence at innogy (Germany's second-largest energy company), helping found and build their Innovation Hub and venture capital arm.

His early career bridged two worlds: product strategy at PepsiCo and Nestle across Latin America and the Caribbean, and interactive product design in Silicon Valley during the first wave of the internet. That dual foundation — scaling global brands and building at the edge of emerging technology — shaped everything that followed.

He founded Seebridge in 2018 to bring this same rigor — bridging startup agility with enterprise scale — to help corporate leaders navigate exponential technology.
