The Cultivator guides ocean startups from concept to scale. Our three-stage process begins with Ideation, where breakthrough concepts are sourced and validated. It moves into Incubation, providing hands-on support, resources, and mentorship to co-build ventures alongside founders. Finally, in the Spin-out stage, startups are prepared for independent growth and Series A funding ready to scale solutions that regenerate our oceans and strengthen coastal communities.
