About the Company

Founded in January 2025, Ocean Orchestra aims to be a generational force for good in ocean conservation and the ocean economy. Backed by leading SaaS, FinTech and Climate investors, this is an opportunity to apply modern tech to a huge global challenge. Oceans are 71% of our planet and central to climate health, yet receive only a fraction of the world’s investment, technology, and AI innovation. Ocean Orchestra is changing that.

Our founding team — , and others (we can happily introduce the other co-founder live; she’s amazing) — have built businesses to global scale. Now, we’re focused on creating lasting, positive change for our planet.
