The Alliance will support the startup go-to-market initiatives to tap on specific domain experts for guidance and mentorship. Since launching in November 2020 the Alliance has brought together more than 40 maritime value chain industry leaders for portfolio companies.
What Our Advisors Say
“A common issue we see is that startups spend several months of effort developing their ideas and their first iteration of a product, only to find out they are disconnected from the needs of the industry when pitching to a maritime corporate partner. This situation results in lost effort, wasted time, and in some cases, it bankrupts the startup. The Alliance is the perfect vehicle to remove this issue because they bring advisory and corporate partners early on the conversations, resulting in startups dedicating their time innovating and re-engineering real industry challenges, which has proven to exponentially increase their chances for success.”
