Forsea Invest

As Africa’s only impact-first investment initiative dedicated to scaling ocean-positive ventures, ForSea Invest is the first dedicated investment vehicle anchored by OceanHub Africa.

It provides crucial catalytic capital, blending investment funds (tickets from $100K to $800K) with venture-development support to unlock the full potential of early-stage innovations that restore marine ecosystems, empower coastal communities, and drive climate resilience across the continent.

Blue Loop Facility

The Blue Loop Facility is a solidarity-based catalytic fund designed to bridge the early-stage funding gap for Africa’s most promising blue ventures. By deploying interest-free capital and hands-on technical assistance, we help our portfolio companies unlock their regenerative potential and accelerate their path to investment-readiness.

  • Strategic Funding: Providing interest-free loans of up to $30,000, with specialized tickets of up to $80,000 for high-potential plastic circularity projects.
  • A Solidarity Mechanism: When ventures succeed and repay their loans, the capital is “paid forward” to fuel the next generation of entrepreneurs, creating a self-sustaining cycle of impact.
  • Global Partnerships: Co-funded by The Coca-Cola Foundation and The DOEN Foundation to drive systemic change in the African Blue Economy.

No single organization can transform an ocean alone.

This pillar represents the critical network of global and regional investors, development finance institutions (DFIs), and corporate venture funds that actively rely on our expertise.

We serve as their trusted filter, providing them with a high-quality, pre-vetted, and de-risked pipeline of African ocean-impact startups ready for scale and follow-on financing.
