We’re thrilled to announce that StartBlue has been awarded $13.5M through
NOAA’s Ocean Based Climate Resilience Accelerator Phase 2 funding, part of the Department of Commerce NOAA’s Ocean Enterprise Initiative! 🎉
This transformative grant enables the expansion of Scripps Institution of Oceanography's StartBlue Ocean Enterprise Accelerator, a national platform supporting and scaling ocean-based startups. By leveraging San Diego’s regional assets and providing crucial “catalyst” funding, this initiative will drive innovation, help startups overcome growth challenges, and attract private investment to build the blue economy.
We’re proud that TMA BlueTech will be a powerful partner and beneficiary of this game-changing initiative. We look forward to collaborating with Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and other key partners to meet—and exceed—the immense potential of this program.
And a big 'thank you' to Vanessa Scott for her and her team's herculean efforts to make winning this grant, and all of the amazing outcomes it will bring, possible.

Thank you to all partners, collaborators, and supporters for your commitment to advancing ocean-based innovation. Together, we’re fostering impactful climate resilience solutions and growing the blue economy!
