We’re proud to open applications for the next evolution of Seaworthy's flagship startup program,
The Continuum Ocean Enterprise Studio and Incubator, launching August 2025 with our 6th cohort. 

Four years in, the latest iteration of our Studio and Incubator will exclusively support US-based startups developing ocean data technologies and services across all applications aligned with the priorities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Enterprise Initiative. This is a result of Seaworthy’s expanded role in its $14 million NOAA partnership, The Continuum, a coordinated network of ocean enterprise accelerators that fast-tracks startups getting to market by making support for BlueTech solutions more scalable, efficient, and interconnected.

​

This 3-month program activates our community to contribute to and grow scalable companies and impact. The Studio and Incubator program is intentionally designed around Seaworthy founders via our unique approach; embracing human-centered design, we place the needs, experiences, and aspirations of entrepreneurs at the core. Through empathy, understanding, and experience, we individually tailor our support for each founder to address their unique challenges.  In this way, we help support and develop founders as people, as much as their solutions.

​

We build cohorts of two types of participants: 

• Current founders growing their existing early-stage startups

• Aspiring founders co-creating a new startup with Seaworthy. 

 

We aim to support 5 to 7 existing early-stage startups and co-create 1 new startup for each cohort.​ NOAA supported scholarships (a $25,000 value) enable NO COST or equity requirements for each participant.​
