Inspiring Conversations with Colt Seiler of Colture Consulting

Today we’d like to introduce you to Colt Seiler.

Colt Seiler

Hi Colt, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
While every business owner’s path is different, we share one thing in common: drive. We find that motivation in different ways, but all of us channel it into relentless passion.

I got my start at 10, helping my father with his construction company during the summers. That work planted the first spark that would later become the core of who I am. At 12 I wanted a phone; my parents’ answer was simple: “Sure — you just have to pay for it.” That challenge lit a bigger flame. I began saving every dollar I could from birthdays and summer work, bought some chickens, and started an egg business. After a 4-H camp, I was surprised with a trip to the Sprint store and my first phone, and the possibilities felt endless. I even recruited my best friends to help run the business.

When my father died in a sudden accident, my world turned upside down. I struggled, but worked hard to rebuild myself and to keep moving forward with the lessons and habits I’d learned. That period is when the spark inside me truly became the drive I rely on every day. The egg business eventually ended — I think we made a couple hundred dollars in profit — but the experience taught me how to hustle, lead a small team, and turn ideas into action.

Today, I am the proud owner of Colture Consulting! We work tirelessly for our clients everyday & strive to make a difference within the professional world.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ve stayed true to my ambitions and values, but the road hasn’t been smooth. I’ve faced multiple make-or-break moments that forced me to navigate the professional world on my own, and I ruined my credit at 18. Rebuilding took years of discipline and hard work, but it also taught me practical, hard-won lessons about launching and running a business.

Plan before you spend: a smart, realistic business plan reduces risk and accelerates traction.

Use capital strategically: find 0% interest or low-cost financing when possible to extend runway and de-risk early experiments.

Treat failure as feedback: be eager to fail fast, learn, and iterate—pursuing a dream is better than failing at something you don’t care about.

Be excited to fail and to learn from those failures; they’re the fastest path to meaningful progress.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
What should we know? Colture Consulting delivers practical, high-impact consulting for product teams, regulatory projects, and real-estate operators. We help organizations move from messy processes to predictable outcomes by combining product management rigor, regulatory expertise, and operational execution. We were founded by our two partners Colt Seiler, & Jordan Trussell

what are you known for?
We are known for solving cross-disciplinary problems where product, compliance, and operations intersect. The firm specializes in regulated environments and complex workflows that require both technical fluency and practical implementation. Clients hire Colture when they need a trusted operator who can design a strategy and actually deliver it. Our director of product, Jordan Trussell has also made Colture Consulting’s product development into a industry leader. From product roadmaps to hopping into a developers seat, Jordan Trussell has ensured Colture Consulting is consistently at the forefront of product management.

What the readers should know:
Colture Consulting converts product ideas into production-grade systems through rigorous product management, scalable architecture, and hands-on engineering. We deliver product roadmaps, API-first integrations, and automated workflows that replace brittle manual processes and enforce regulatory controls. We prototype, build, and ship code—custom microservices, serverless functions, and platform integrations—then harden deployments with observability, testing, and CI/CD so clients receive a maintainable handoff and measurable operational improvements.

What are you most proud brand wise?
Honestly, everything. While we are very far from our destination, everything we currently do was a dream of mine. I am proud of how consistent we are, I am proud of how organized we are, & I am proud of who we are.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
My first real job was at a jewelry store in Tallahassee, FL. It taught me a range of practical skills that still pay dividends: sales psychology, customer empathy, and rapid adaptation. Learn how to talk to people and, equally important, how not to. Always manage your public interface—your “UI”—so the backend—your raw thoughts and ideas—stays disciplined. Think before you speak.

Mentors are valuable but imperfect. Often you need to be your own primary mentor: set goals, run experiments, and learn from outcomes. At the same time, never stop networking. Put yourself out there consistently; some of my best clients came from unexpected introductions. Treat networking as a long-term investment—show up, be useful, and follow up.
