## How We Invest

We are early stage investors who develop high conviction in our investments. We all have operating experience and work to support founders on their journey to building great and lasting companies. We are currently investing out of our $118M Fund I. 

Our investment themes - Ocean Industrials, Carbon, and Organics - exist to organize our thinking, but we bristle at attempts to be boxed-in. Instead, we keep an open mind about the novel innovations of founders across legacy industries and new markets – in, on, around, or adjacent to the ocean. We continually look for the edges where the ocean is affecting or affected by the climate transition, and where the greatest opportunities are for impact and economics. 

If you think what you're working on may be of interest to us, we encourage you to send us your pitch.
