Yachting Ventures and Ocean One Ventures today announced the launch of the Summer Fundraising Bootcamp, a program designed to help startups prepare for and accelerate their fundraising efforts ahead of the autumn investment season.

Scheduled for Aug. 3-Sept. 4, the program will support a cohort of up to 10 early-stage companies from across the marine industry, combining fundraising strategy, investor readiness, one-to-one coaching and direct access to investors.

“This program is designed to give startups the tools, structure and investor access they need to raise capital more effectively while creating accountability and momentum through a focused five-week sprint,” Yachting Ventures founder Gabriella Richardson said in a statement.

As part of a new collaboration between Yachting Ventures and the Genoa Boat Show, Summer Fundraising Bootcamp participants will receive priority access to a curated Startup Zone, providing an opportunity to exhibit alongside innovative marine businesses and gain visibility at one of Europe’s most established boating events. The show is scheduled for Oct. 1-6 in Italy.
