About Seth Halpern
Seth Halpern is based in Washington, DC. Wesleyan's alumni newsletter reports that after graduating in 2009 he joined NationalField, a software startup, as a volunteer. He was then named CFO. According to his Crunchbase bio, NationalField's revenue passed $1M in its first full year and it raised a $1M Series A at a $10M valuation in 2010. He helped prepare the company for a 2012 exit.
He then earned an MBA at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business and spent three years at The Advisory Board Company as a software and big data consultant for health system executives. After that he worked in new product development at Privia Health and DaVincian Healthcare. He also studied data science and machine learning at General Assembly, which he left early to work on 1healthy.world.
He co-founded Ori.ai, the company that grew out of 1healthy.world, and serves as its CEO. Brett Westphal is the cofounder and CTO. Crunchbase lists Ori.ai as closed.

Seth has not publicly stated a thesis, stage preference, geography or check size. Angel database AngelMatch lists his markets as health care, artificial intelligence, mobile and personal health, and his stage as seed. These tags appear to be derived from the Ori.ai investment alone. His operating background is in healthcare SaaS, digital health product development and early-stage finance, and his Crunchbase bio says he focuses on for-profit, for-benefit digital health solutions.
