Founder Institute-Backed Clean Ocean Coatings Brings Groundbreaking Solution to the Shipping Industry

The Founder Institute is proud to announce its continued support of Clean Ocean Coatings, a mission-driven startup with a passion for protecting our oceans. By creating measurable ecological impact, Clean Ocean Coatings is setting new standards in the maritime industry, offering an innovative and sustainable alternative to traditional hull coatings. This groundbreaking solution addresses critical environmental challenges while driving significant economic value for shipping companies.

Why This Investment Matters Now More Than Ever

The growth of algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms on ship hulls is a serious environmental issue, leading to increased fuel consumption, the spread of invasive species, and damage to local ecosystems. Each year, more than 100,000 tons of toxic anti-biofouling products are used to combat this problem, with half of these toxins entering the sea, contributing to microplastics and hazardous waste.

Clean Ocean Coatings is tackling this issue head-on with its revolutionary hull coating. Designed to create an ultra-smooth surface, this coating is not only easy to clean and longer-lasting but also entirely free of microplastics and solvents. This innovation reduces fuel consumption by minimizing friction, providing both ecological and financial benefits to the shipping industry.

A Sustainable Solution in High Demand

As the global shipping industry faces increasing pressure to improve sustainability in response to stricter environmental regulations and growing awareness of climate change, Clean Ocean Coatings is positioned to lead the charge with its eco-friendly solution. The demand for this product is already soaring, with a waiting list of customers eager to adopt this technology, and the customer lifetime value of each ship projected to be in the six-figure range.
