Seaworthy Collective

Seaworthy Collective is a 501c3 nonprofit that supports current, aspiring, and underrepresented entrepreneurs driving innovation for ocean and climate impact (AKA BlueTech). Our mission is to make BlueTech accessible and inclusive; bringing all hands on deck via programs to co-create and grow early-stage startups, build regional capacity, and educate our community. 

We empower Sea Change Makers – diverse founders leading profitable and planet positive businesses addressing pollution, coastal resilience and adaptation, as well as greenhouse gas reduction and removal. Based in Miami, our local and global community generates scalable solutions for 71% of the planet (our ocean) to regenerate 100% of the planet.

Seaworthy’s Community Programs, which include our Sea Change Makers Series, Sea Change Maker Fellowship with Miami Dade College, and collaborative events, build community engagement and educate diverse talent in ocean and climate innovation. Seaworthy’s community programs have educated more than 4,800 people over 50+ events since 2021. 

Seaworthy’s Startup Programs, with our flagship Startup Studio and Incubator plus our community and network platform called The Shoreline, activate our community to co-create and grow early-stage startups. Seaworthy has amassed a global network of 2,500 members, 250 mentors and collaborators, and investors with over $1 billion in combined assets. Seaworthy’s startup programs have supported 40 startups and 78 founders over 5 cohorts, who have raised over $10 million since graduating. Seaworthy is intentional on supporting underrepresented founders, with 70% of program participants identifying as female and/or diverse founders (BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA).

Seaworthy Collective is an endorsed project of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and an environmental partner for 1% For The Planet. Seaworthy is also a member of the 1000 Ocean Startups Coalition and Ocean Visions’ Global Ecosystem for Ocean Solutions. Seaworthy has also been supported and recognized by Salesforce, as well as Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and their Prize for Innovative Philanthropy, the Department of Energy’s American-Made Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC) Prize, Small Business Administration’s Growth Accelerator Fund Competition, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean-based Climate Resilience Accelerators.
