ABOUT US

We are a company that lives and innovates at the intersection of industrial design, wellness, technology, and music. Our mission is to elevate mental health and facilitate access to higher states of self-awareness for millions of people.
Why the name “OpenSeed” ?
A seed is a symbol of life, new beginnings, and infinite possibilities. Within it are instructions and resources for growth. When we practice meditation, we learn to access our own resources and create new realities of abundance that are nurtured through our intentions.

Jonathan Marcoschamer – Founder & CEO.
After learning the ancient meditation practice of Vipassana, Jonathan became aware of the power of meditation and understood that it’s a skill that everyone should learn and practice. The idea for the pod came while sitting in an open-floor office space with nowhere to go that was quiet and private. He envisioned a pod that allowed anyone to practice different meditation and relaxation techniques
Jonathan has over 20 years of experience working in the start-up ecosystem as an analyst, consultant, executive, and entrepreneur. He has co-founded multiple companies including Ecoist, an eco- friendly accessory brand, Rock50, a fitness concept backed by Zumba, and WhereMindsCreate, an interactive marketing agency. As a musician and entrepreneur, he weaves his passions to manifest projects that elevate human consciousness.
