About Me

Overview

I'm Harry Valner. I'm not your average entrepreneur; I'm a dreamer, a doer, and a firm believer in the magic of innovation. By day, I'm at the helm of Seaside Ventures, where we fund, incubate, and scale the most promising teams solving the most pressing issues affecting society’s mental and physical well-being. By night (or on the weekends…), you’ll find me flying airplanes, hiking, biking, skiing, and spending time with my friends, family, and lovely girlfriend.

My Work Life

My journey began in high school, working as an engineer at ROBO 3D. After various roles over the next 7 years, I pursued studies at USC's Iovine Young Academy. It was while at USC I met my long-term business partner, Ryan Roddy. While at our regular workouts and brainstorming sessions, we had the idea for Kyoku, and over the next 4.5 years, we secured substantial venture funding and eventually sold the venture. Ryan and I now run Seaside Ventures, where we are dedicated to propelling visionary ideas in health and wellness from the top 1% of founders.

If you're thinking about a new venture, I'd love to connect and chat about your aspirations. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here.

Adventure

Somewhere along the way, I caught the adventure bug, and now I can't get enough of the great outdoors. Come a regular weekend, you'll spot me by the lake, climbing mountains, riding bikes, flying airplanes, or venturing off the beaten path. These outdoor escapes are my secret recipe for recharging, and giving me the freedom and creativity I need to dream big and aim high.
