Over the past three decades, Seeby has founded, built, and invested in companies spanning internet infrastructure, cloud services, domain hosting, property, and beyond.
From starting Orcon at 19 with $100 to growing Voyager into one of New Zealand's leading ISPs, his ventures share a common thread: identifying an opportunity early and building something that lasts.
Today he holds ownership across a portfolio of around a dozen companies, each operating at the intersection of technology, connectivity, and innovation.

Position: Founder/CEO
Voyager Internet was founded by Seeby Woodhouse in 2010 and has grown into one of New Zealand's leading internet and telecommunications providers, delivering broadband, voice, and connectivity solutions to homes and businesses nationwide. After building the company through its early growth phase — including winning the Deloitte Fast 50 as New Zealand's fastest-growing company in 2014 — Seeby stepped back from day-to-day operations before returning to the CEO role in 2025, bringing fresh energy and a sharp focus on how AI will shape the future of the business.
