The Continuum

Connecting 7 ocean accelerators into one coordinated national network.

Coordinated network of Ocean Enterprise Accelerators · Tampa Bay Region

Seven ocean-focused accelerators across the Tampa Bay region were each doing valuable work — but operating in silos, with no shared view of startups, mentors, or funding relationships across the network. Catalist gave the Continuum a network-of-networks infrastructure: shared directories of people and projects, layered privacy so each accelerator kept control of its own relationships, and subscription monetization to sustain the coordination layer itself.

Outcomes
  • Unified directory of startups and mentors across all 7 accelerators, with privacy controls per organization
  • Mentors matched to startups across network boundaries, not just within a single accelerator
  • Network secured a $14M NOAA Ocean Enterprise Accelerators Grant, scaling nationally
