How it works in a nutshell
Ocean Matcher started 2 years ago on a mission to enhance ocean funding, and we’ve gotten help from a wide range of pioneering and visionary donors a long the way
Ocean matcher was an initiative that first was discussed in the UN conference in Monacco in 2023, a diverse group of Politicians, VC’s, Investors and Philanthropists and other influential voices all saw the value of a platform like Ocean Matcher. From there we all pulled in the same direction, and got to live and dynamic service that is of value for both ocean projects and funder alike.
