Principal
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. His disclosed Craft investments include seed and Series A rounds, while his earlier Figma work included advising and investing in PLG SaaS from pre-seed through Series C; these are stage indicators, not personal check limits.
Sean backs technically ambitious design, developer, and bottom-up software that gives professionals greater control rather than reducing their work to generic automation. His Figma experience informs a patient PLG lens: build a deeply integrated product, let self-serve usage and customer data reveal the enterprise motion, and add sales at the right moment. Recent creative-AI work emphasizes open ecosystems, programmable workflows, proprietary formats or data, and durable orchestration layers that persist as underlying models change.
