Seaworthy Collective (501c3) is a Miami-based BlueTech (ocean and climate impact innovation) entrepreneur support organization and community. Our mission is to make BlueTech accessible and inclusive. We envision bringing all hands on deck for BlueTech, where everyone can contribute to solutions making positive change for our blue planet. We empower Sea Change Makers – supporting current, aspiring, and underrepresented startup founders across diverse backgrounds and impact areas. From addressing pollution, to coastal resilience and adaptation, as well as greenhouse gas reduction and removal, our local and global community is driving innovation for 71% of the planet (our ocean) to regenerate 100% of the planet. Seaworthy has amassed a global network of 2,250 members, 250 mentors and collaborators, and investors with over $1 billion in combined assets.

Seaworthy’s startup programs, with its flagship Startup Studio and Incubator, have supported 26 startups and 56 founders across 4 continents over 3 years. Seaworthy founders have raised over $8 million since graduating.

Seaworthy is an endorsed project of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and an environmental partner for 1% For The Planet.
