Overview
What they do
Founded in 2014 by Daniela Fernandez, SOA has grown into the world's largest network of young ocean leaders and ecopreneurs, operating across 186 countries. SOA is uniquely positioned at the intersection of youth advocacy, policy, and venture capital. It provides non-dilutive micro-grants to community projects while simultaneously deploying equity investments into for-profit startups via its Ecopreneur Network and Seabird Ventures. Known for pioneering the ocean-tech investment space, SOA leverages a massive global network of mentors, corporate partners, and co-investors to scale market-driven solutions that protect marine ecosystems.

What they look for
SOA and Seabird Ventures invest in scalable, market-driven innovations that heal, restore, and sustain the ocean while generating financial returns. They believe that "ecopreneurship" (environmental entrepreneurship) is the primary vehicle to solve the ocean's greatest challenges and address the broader climate crisis.
