The Blue World Perspective 2021

Impact investment thesis
We invest and support startups who have a positive impact on our ocean
As an impact investor, Katapult Ocean firmly believes that the only way to make investments future-proof, is to integrate impact into decision making, using the UN
Sustainable Development Goals as a guiding framework. Combining this process with the high growth potential in innovative, tech-driven startups, we believe
sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. We look for impact along three dimensions. Our portfolio is weighted towards direct impact but will also include
transitional and deep tech impact startups.
Our investment domains
Ocean Health - we invest in technology, infrastructure, products and services that are underpinned by circular economy models for a reduced environmental footprint.
Transportation - Regulatory tailwinds, high-cost pressure and demand for low-emission transport solutions create exciting investment opportunities within propulsion,
digital technology, materials and ship design.
Harvesting – Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture will play a significant role in the future of food, as will technology to enable the efficient and sustainable utilization of
organic ocean resources.
Energy – Investments lowering the cost of offshore renewable energy deployment while improving performance will accelerate the shift towards low and zero emission
energy sources.
New frontiers – we invest in technology to explore and sustainably utilize ocean resources. Data collection and monitoring technologies will play a vital role.
Sustainability
and profitability
go hand in hand!
