About Vijay Ullal

Vijay Ullal is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Seabed VC, a venture capital firm he launched in 2015 based in Saratoga, California, after serving as President and COO of Fairchild Semiconductor and holding engineering leadership roles at Intel and Maxim Integrated Products. His investment thesis is contrarian, targeting early-stage companies in pre-seed, seed, and seed-plus stages that mainstream VCs typically avoid, with a focus on sectors like robotics, aerospace, advanced materials, AI, energy, and healthcare primarily within the United States. While specific check sizes are not publicly disclosed, Ullal operates as a sole partner in a solo GP model, actively sourcing deals and providing strategic guidance rather than just capital. Notable portfolio companies include Wyre, Passage AI, Bounce, Zenith Aerospace (where he serves on the board), Rigetti Computing, Focal Systems, Vimaan Robotics, and Mission Bio. Ullal distinguishes Seabed VC by its mission to support founders tackling challenging problems overlooked by traditional investors, leveraging his three decades of deep technical expertise in chemical engineering and semiconductor leadership
