About Jess Sloss, founder of Seed Club

I founded Seed Club, a venture network that turns the conviction of the people founders most want on their cap table into coordinated capital. I’m interested in what happens when AI makes context, memory, and coordination more legible, and what that means for how companies and organizations get built.

What I’m really interested in is how smaller, high-context groups can do things that used to require much larger organizations. A lot of that comes down to how you aggregate intelligence, capital, and relationships in a way that makes a group more coherent, more capable, and much more useful.

The internet widened participation. AI makes context more usable. That opens up a new design space for how companies and organizations work: how they learn, how they remember, how they make decisions, and how they coordinate the right people around the right opportunities at the right time.

That’s the thread behind Seed Club. We’re building tools and infrastructure that help high-context people become more effective at discovering, supporting, and investing in startups, while giving founders access to more aligned and useful capital. More broadly, I’m interested in how networks reshape capital, how AI changes the way organizations think and operate, and what it looks like to build companies that are more coherent, adaptive, and useful than the ones that came before.

Where I’m useful to founders

Founders usually have people to pressure-test product and fundraising with. Few have a true peer for comms and people leadership: the story they tell investors, customers, and the market, and the team and community they build around it. My sense is that’s where a lot of companies quietly set their ceiling.

Most of what I’ve built has come down to words and people. Seed Club only works if the right people care enough to show up and stay, and we’ve worked with more than 100 teams along the way. The most useful conversations I have with founders are rarely about the model. They’re about the story and the people.

Founders tend to pull me in when they’re:

• figuring out what they’re really building, and how to say it so it sticks
• testing a fundraising story before taking it wide, and deciding who hears it when
• hiring their first team and learning to lead it
• building the community and network around the company
