Applications are now open for the Ocean Impact Pitchfest 2022. Founded in 2020, Ocean Impact Organisation’s global initiative was kicked off to help discover, support and accelerate start-ups working on urgent, transformative solutions to improve ocean health and is returning this year with new awards, features and partners to help take your idea to the world and accelerate your impact for our oceans and environment.
 
The perks of being a winner include an epic $50,000 AUD cash prize to keep funding the business’ integral work, access to key businesses and science mentors, an OIO communications boost and extensive exposure across OIO and partner channels. Two runners up and category spotlight winners will also receive exposure and a $10,000 cash prize, and nine finalists will also receive exposure and a dedicated Ocean Impact podcast interview.
 
If you’re thinking of applying or know a business who should, OIO is looking for:

  • Impact —must have the potential to significantly improve ocean health through their business model
  • Scalability — must have the potential to grow rapidly
  • Startup — a refined business idea with some level of customer validation and annual turnover of less than $5milUSD
  • Structure — pursuing a profit motive business model (entry is not open to not-for-profits)
