Our Investment Thesis

An emerging class of entrepreneurs is piloting innovative solutions to ocean challenges, but seed and early-stage businesses often find it difficult to raise capital and get the support they need to scale. Bold Ocean Ventures Fund I LP provides both capital and intensive support to companies with the potential to maximize mission impact while generating attractive returns to investors.

  • We focus primarily on the seafood supply chain and the impact of climate change.
  • We seek companies where GMRI expertise can accelerate their growth.
  • We believe GMRI is centrally located in a region of ocean and climate innovation.
  • We target investments at the local level that can lead to globally relevant solutions.
