Seth Talbott — Founder, Advisor & StarBrazer

Who I am

A builder at the crossroads.

I started my career in IT and software development over 25 years ago. Since then I've run a global SaaS data center, led a group of award-winning medical clinics, and co-founded companies across tech, healthcare, real estate, and private equity.

Most notably, I co-founded Relief Factor — a 3× Inc 5000 honoree that, on average, doubled in size every year and built upwards of a billion dollars in revenue. I've consulted and advised with some of the largest companies in the world, from AT&T and Microsoft to Citi, Wells Fargo, and the British Ministry of Defense.
