Seth B Taube

About Me
I’m an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist with a deep commitment to building a win-win future for humanity and the planet. After founding and taking two billion-dollar companies public, I’ve gained firsthand insight into the challenges of finite games and the flaws of current incentive systems.

These experiences have driven me to explore deeper questions: What does human flourishing look like? How can we protect the planet while promoting prosperity?

Today, my work is focused on the healing economy—scaling organizations that advance well-being, heal trauma, and address systemic challenges. I contribute as an advisor, investor, and collaborator, blending personal and systemic approaches to create lasting impact.

Experience

I deliver results.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve founded multiple successful companies, including two billion-dollar ventures listed on the NYSE. These enterprises have provided capital to more than 500 companies across 35 industries, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout North America.

My professional journey began in financial services, where I honed my skills at leading institutions like Morgan Stanley and Tiger Management.

I develop leaders.
Training and mentoring are integral to my work. Over the last two decades, I’ve developed leaders in my businesses, invested companies, and philanthropic organizations. My leadership programs combine ontological philosophy, cognitive psychology, mindfulness, and custom methodologies created with my team.

Hundreds of individuals I’ve mentored now hold senior roles in corporations, nonprofits, and foundations. Personally, I continue to expand my leadership capabilities through ongoing training in diverse modalities.

I champion mental wellness.
I am dedicated to healing trauma and alleviating suffering. Recently, I co-founded Progressive Therapeutics Inc. and joined the board of the Ketamine Research Foundation. Both organizations pioneer psychoactive and psychedelic therapeutics to foster global healing and well-being.

Beyond Work

A musician and outdoor enthusiast.
With over 40 years as a violinist, I perform regularly with symphonies, chamber groups, and bluegrass ensembles in the San Francisco Bay Area. An avid cyclist, I ride over 5,000 miles annually, exploring landscapes from California to Europe, deepening my connection to the planet.

A lifelong learner.
I hold degrees from Harvard University, St. Andrew’s University, and Wharton. My academic and personal pursuits focus on neuroscience, mental health, consciousness, climate change, and education. A dedicated meditator, my practice is rooted in Dzogchen and Mahamudra traditions, inspired by mentors Dan Brown and Dustin DiPerna.

Giving Back
In 2003, I established The Seth Taube Foundation Inc., dedicating tens of millions of dollars to initiatives in education reform and the healing economy. Through both philanthropic and for-profit efforts, I strive to create a thriving future for humanity and the planet.
