A few short years ago, Mckenna Haz founded Seaav from her college dorm room. What started as a small mission-led brand has evolved into a community-powered movement built around sustainability, wellness, and ocean impact. Through partnerships with organizations like Coral Gardeners and Plastic Bank, Seaav supports coral reef restoration and funds the removal of ocean waste with every purchase.
Beyond its products, Seaav is redefining what it means to be an active lifestyle brand—creating experiences that connect people to purpose. The brand’s large-scale wellness events bring together hundreds across the country, from sunrise yoga sessions aboard ships in Boston Harbor to community fitness pop-ups that unite movement, mindfulness, and sustainability.
NCV serves as Seaav’s lead investor, with many members playing active advisory roles—some for equity, others donating their time to guide the company’s growth.
The results speak for themselves. After achieving 45% year-over-year growth, Seaav is on track for a 236% increase in 2025, reaching $525K in revenue. The brand is now in over 70 boutique studios, will launch with Neiman Marcus this summer, and is finalizing a strategic partnership with Disney. The team projects that Seaav will surpass $2 million in revenue in 2026, setting the stage for its Series A.
At the heart of this growth is Mckenna’s authentic leadership. A former Division I rugby player, she brings a rare mix of grit, curiosity, and community focus to building Seaav. Meeting weekly with NCV members, she continues to evolve as a CEO—balancing bold creativity with strong business acumen.
NCV is proud to back Mckenna and the Seaav team—championing a company that’s not just growing fast, but growing with purpose.
