Venturewell will leverage its extensive lab-to-market experience to design a customized, highly supportive, multi-stage accelerator program that helps ocean-based climate resilience startups overcome commercialization challenges through comprehensive training, mentorship, access to expertise and resources, and connections to industry and customers. Venturewell equips scientists and engineers with the tools they need to develop and validate a complete business model, not just a productlaying a strong foundation for long-term adaptability and growth. Specifically, we will (1) conduct discovery interviews with entrepreneurs and ecosystem stakeholders; (2) conduct a landscape analysis of climate resilience entrepreneurs (both prospective and active), support networks, and identifiable gaps; (3) adapt venturewells accelerator curriculum to the unique contexts and commercialization pathways of ocean resilience entrepreneurs; (4) build a robust network of partners to source and support participants; and (5) pilot this tailored program with a cohort of entrepreneurs.
