Sean Sebastian co-created Black Tech Nation Ventures specifically in response to racial-justice conversations in 2020, actively recruiting partners to build a Black-led fund focused on creating transformational wealth for underrepresented founders. He helps anchor BTN's decision to base the fund in Pittsburgh and position the city as a national hub for Black venture capital, leveraging his long-standing local network to connect a national Black tech community with a mid-continent innovation hub rather than defaulting to coastal centers.

Notable Investments
Black Tech Nation Ventures is built on a pre-existing national community of thousands of Black technologists and operates with an integrated nonprofit-for-profit model where the nonprofit feeds talent into venture readiness, giving them structural access to Black founders and operators from day one rather than having to source diversity from scratch. The fund is deliberately headquartered in Pittsburgh to position the city as a national hub for Black venture capital while focusing on overlooked talent outside Silicon Valley, and operates with a dual mandate to both fund Black founders and actively develop Black venture capitalists as a talent factory for the next generation of Black GPs.
