Recently, the second cohort of BlueSwell—a comprehensive blue-tech incubator program launched by the New England Aquarium and SeaAhead, Inc. designed to support the creation and growth of startups with solutions that have the potential for significant impact on the ocean—finished the program. Over the last five months, all of the entrepreneurs received funding and mentorship to strengthen their businesses. On March 2, the cohort updated their peers and mentors on their progress towards commercialization at an event known as Demo Day.
