Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Science and technology innovations focused on ocean-based climate resilience are essential to equipping communities to prepare for, absorb the impacts of, recover from, and adapt to extreme weather events and longer-term climate impacts.
And that is especially true for under-resourced communities, which are especially vulnerable to and face unique challenges in dealing with the effects of climate change.
The proposed NOAA Innovates: Ocean-Based Climate Resilience Accelerator, powered by VentureWell, will support early-stage innovators and ventures developing ocean-based climate resilience solutions through entrepreneurial training, extensive mentorship, technology and development commercialization awards, access to testing and demonstration facilities, and pathways to commercialization.
Organization: VentureWell is one of the leading entrepreneurial support organizations in the country, with nearly 30 years experience, national and global reach, and deep expertise in the commercialization pathways that enable scientists, researchers, students, and entrepreneurs to turn their ideas and discoveries into real-world, scalable solutions that benefit people and the planet.
We are deeply committed to addressing systemic barriers and infusing diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility (DEIJA) throughout our programs, organizational culture, and operations.
We have designed and delivered programs in partnership with nine federal agencies, engaged 360+ universities, and built a network of 400+ coaches, industry experts, and active investors.
We have supported over 5,800 teams, leading to the launch of over 4,300 ventures that have collectively raised more than $5.7 billion in additional funding.
