Coastal Measures

🌊 We just released our recap article on Demo Day 2025! For the first time, all graduating startups brought physical demos, and the hands-on experience provided attendees with a deeper understanding of the technologies developed by Cohort V. See some of the demos in the photos attached! Our guest speaker, Undersecretary of Economic Foundations at the Executive Office of Economic Development, Ashley Stolba, reminded the audience of Massachusetts’ steadfast commitment to innovation. In November, the Healey Administration signed the MassLeads Act which, among other points, will invest $1 billion in climatetech through the Economic Development Bond Bill and will support the blue economy founders and entrepreneurs. There’s excitement in this space and ample reason to get involved. We are proud to run the BlueSwell Program, as we have for the last 5 cohorts, in partnership with the New England Aquarium and help these startups make significant strides in the bluetech sector.

🌊 The world is changing. Data and AI now guide our decisions from the home to the world stage, but the utility of environmental data has lagged behind other sectors because of antiquated systems that siloe data from different sensors. We aim to change that with CUMULUS. ⛅ 🐚 A few weeks ago, we completed the Blue Swell accelerator with SeaAhead where we pitched our ideas to a passionate crowd of blue tech investors , public supporters, students, and more at the New England Aquarium 🐧. The feedback was positive and clear: YES, the world needs this, NOW. 👏 📈 We are currently raising a pre-seed round to fund expansion to 10 new sensor vendors over the next 18 months to make ocean data more accessible to everyone! Please reach out if you are interested in learning more. 🪸

🎉 We are excited to announce the participants of Startup Alley at the 2025 International Partnering Forum! For the fourth year, Oceantic and SeaAhead have partnered to select promising startups within the global offshore renewable energy industry. This year’s cohorts range from data collection and unmanned operations to anchoring devices and entirely new generator designs that will create power from ocean currents. Congratulations to: Coastal Measures Crewless Marine Deep Anchor Solutions Equinox Ocean Turbines BV MM-SEAS USCG Licensing Software Orpheus Ocean Sperra Each company will showcase their work on the Exhibit Floor and present their pitch to #IPF25 participants at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29, and Wednesday, April 30.

🎉 🎊 BIG celebrations are in order! On Thursday, March 6th, SeaAhead and the New England Aquarium hosted our fifth BlueSwell Demo Day to honor the seven startups that participated in Cohort V. We were proud to welcome Ashley Stolba, the Undersecretary of Economic Foundations at the Executive Office of Economic Development, as our Guest Speaker. She gave a passionate welcome to our community and showed her commitment to driving Massachusetts forward as an innovation stronghold. We also heard remarks from Letise LaFeir, PhD, Chief of Conservation and Stewardship at the Aquarium who underlined how crucial novel technologies are to conservation efforts. Our very own Alissa Peterson, CEO and co-founder of SeaAhead, made it clear that supporting and investing in groundbreaking blue innovation is the key to a bright blue future for all. If you follow the BlueSwell Program, you know that Demo Day is the capstone event for our cohort members where they pitch directly to our community of investors and partners. They spent the last five months working hard to drive their respective commercialization journeys forward. Please join us in congratulating Cohort V and applauding all of their accomplishments. Keep watch with us as these startups continue to change the game!

As a large winter storm begins to sweep up the US East Coast, please remember there are other hazards besides snow. Strong winds will generate large waves and storm surges that are starting to show up in the CUMULUS AI Water Level Forecast for places like Boston, MA.
