As an investor, if companies do well, you win. For Eric Gasser, he loves the idea that the biggest win comes for the companies. That’s why he and a group of investors formed SEED San Diego.

Putting his blood, sweat and tears into over 30 companies, Eric knows how to use advice and information to make decisions and win. That becomes especially clear after reviewing over 700 applications in a year.

Eric wants to create something great with the companies he works with. After 14 years in the hospitality industry, he knows what it’s like for people to have to work their way up.

He fully believes in not having to be the boss to create financial security and making basic financial decisions that come back around and work out, while still holding to frugal practice.

Engaging in the startup community is second nature to Eric. With every panel discussion, mentoring session or education forum, Eric actively participates in the community to kickstart company formation in the early stages and to keep an eye on the best ideas and innovations.

Eric’s mission is to change the landscape of investments in San Diego, but he also enjoys mountain landscapes with his family.

At the core of it, Eric cares about what companies are doing and wants to ready them for the world so that together they can celebrate success wildly.
