The 2026 program will once again support US-based startups developing ocean data technologies and services, in alignment with the priorities of the NOAA Ocean Enterprise Initiative. This is a result of Seaworthy’s expanded role in its $14 million NOAA partnership, The Continuum, a coordinated network of ocean enterprise accelerators that fast-tracks startups getting to market by making support for BlueTech solutions more scalable, efficient, and interconnected.
This 3-month program activates community to contribute to and grow scalable companies and impact. The Studio and Incubator program is intentionally designed around Seaworthy founders via unique approach; embracing human-centered design, they place the needs, experiences, and aspirations of entrepreneurs at the core. Through empathy, understanding, and experience, they individually tailor support for each founder to address their unique challenges. In this way, they help support and develop founders as people, as much as their solutions.
They build cohorts of two types of participants:
- Current founders growing their existing early-stage startups
- Aspiring founders co-creating a new startup with Seaworthy.
Criteria
Its aim to support 5 to 7 existing early-stage startups and co-create 1 new startup for each cohort.
