INVESTING FOR THE OCEAN
Seabird Ventures is a venture capital fund investing in early stage companies that reduce pollution and restore our ocean's health.
WHY OCEANS?

TWO VEHICLES,
ONE MISSION.
Through our financial and operational partnership with non-profit Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) and the Ecopreneur Network, our Seabird Ventures portfolio receives lifetime access to a startup support program with technical mentorship, investor relations, peer-to-peer networking, promotional events, and direct investments.
Working together our two organizations have co-invested in 45+ companies serving as one of the most active early stage ocean impact investors since 2018. Sustainable Ocean Alliance serves as the General Partner for Seabird Ventures and returns help advance its non profit mission.
Our model is built on a simple insight:
Venture philanthropy can take the earliest risk. Venture capital can scale what works.
