SeaAhead, NE Aquarium recruiting for BlueSwell Incubator

https://www.bizjournals.com/boston/inno/stories/news/2022/05/12/blueswell-incubator-recruiting-third-cohort.html

New England Council member, the New England Aquarium, is working with SeaAhead Inc. to create their BlueSwell Incubator program. The program is to support early-stage entrepreneurship in ocean sustainability solutions. BlueSwell aims to bring together founders, ocean experts, industry leaders and venture capitalists to develop bluetech projects.

There were seven startups who completed BlueSwell’s latest program in March, with each startup having a different area of focus, including sea urchin farming, data sharing between offshore wind farms, fishing communities and  camera-based inventory systems for seafood processors. Now, each startup is now working on different goals for the year ahead, from raising seed rounds to finding new clients. Each startup in this program will receive $50,000 in funding to help their projects become commercialization. The startups will also have access to support, including industry, investment, academia, government, and NGO mentors.

“We are excited for the scientists and technical experts in the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life to continue mentoring these transformational startups to maximize their positive impacts on ocean health,” John Mandelman, vice president and chief scientist at New England Aquarium. “Being part of BlueSwell provides invaluable expertise from Aquarium scientists with decades of experience guiding industry, policy, and ocean management.”

The New England Council would like to commend the New England Aquarium on its BlueSwell program, and ongoing work to support ocean sustainability solutions.
