Seven Hound Ventures

Seven Hound Ventures is a single-source, boutique venture capital firm founded in 2016 by Sean Trigony, headquartered in Los Angeles (Manhattan Beach/Hermosa Beach area). Trigony previously worked at WideOrbit and Warner Bros. Discovery before transitioning into early-stage investing. As a solo-GP fund, 7HV emphasizes direct, personal partnership with founders rather than a large platform team, drawing on Trigony's operating and media-industry background to support portfolio companies through conviction-based, long-term relationships. The firm invests broadly across AI, biotech, longevity, fintech, aerospace, and psychedelic medicine, plus earlier bets in food tech, wellness, and consumer. Notable investments include SpaceX, Anthropic, MoonPay, Crusoe AI, Tilray, MindMed, ATAI Life Sciences, and The Block, with three NASDAQ IPOs and four acquisitions totaling over $2.4B. 7HV primarily invests at seed and early stages, with check sizes reportedly reaching up to $32.6M for select deals. Its investment approach is conviction-first: backing exceptional founders tackling large, meaningful problems early, prioritizing long-term partnership and high-belief bets over diversified, high-volume portfolio construction.
