INVESTABLE OCEANS

Welcome to our inaugural newsletter!

It’s been a month since we released the investment section of our site, and we’ve already completed a number of matches, signed up more than 100 Accredited Investors and have over 20 companies and funds listed.

We thank you for all of your support, and ask for your help in continuing to grow our community over the coming months. We are more convinced than ever that there is a need for a platform that brings together investors and investment opportunities across all sectors of the blue economy.

Please find below a sampling from different areas of the site. There is a lot of content in addition to the offerings themselves, so feel free to browse and explore. And if you sign up on the homepage you can subscribe to our calendar of upcoming ocean investment events, webinars and deadlines.

Thanks again for your support and see you next month!

Be well,

Ted, Brian and Vanessa
