Our mission
The venture ecosystem the ocean’s been waiting for.
Why we started
One planet, one ocean, endless possibility.
In 2018, we realized that early-stage startups in the blue economy were missing two important drivers for success: support infrastructure and access to funding. We formed SeaAhead to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders, and stakeholders. In just a few years, we’ve grown into an open-innovation ecosystem that produces scalable commercial solutions to modern-day challenges.
