About Sean O'Sullivan

Sean O'Sullivan coined the term "cloud computing" and trademarked it in 1996, giving him unusually deep historical context on distributed computing relative to most climate and deep-tech investors today. Rather than being a capital-only VC, he has spent tens of millions building physical labs, maker spaces, wet labs, and hardware lines across the US, Europe and Asia so early teams can build real products without raising huge amounts of capital first.
