Hello Ocean Friends
I love when I get to feature friends. Congrats to the TMV team on their new maritime and logistics focused fund. AND congrats to Elemental Impact’s team on the new data center initiative. The idea of using AI’s natural stress on the climate as a leverage point to drive climate innovation chef’s kiss.
Today is the ABSOLUTE LAST DAY to register for the NYC OceanTech Summit. I’m really proud of how it has come together this year. Great speakers, more startups, awesome researchers, all under one roof. Plus coffee, food, and happy hour are all from local vendors - love that too.
We have a special group of supporters this year, thanks to everyone for chipping in to make this happen:
On to the newsletter. And I hope to see you Thursday.
Best,
Will
