OCEAN MBA IN CAMBRIDGE, MA

Summer Session

In our summer session, we bring together mission-driven founders to participate in a rigorous few days of startup case studies, working sessions, and guest lectures with experience in everything from commercializing scientific innovation to fundraising through to exit. 

It is your chance to hone your strategy and pitch it to active investors. It’s our chance to get to know your startup inside and out. And it’s on all of us, to inspire and be inspired by a cohort of stellar innovators.

Winter Session

With the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as the backdrop, our winter session is open to vetted WHOI researchers with outstanding innovations in the ocean-climate nexus.  Here we run an action packed schedule of case studies, hackathons, networking, and guest lecturers focused on how to bring these innovations to market. We will work in topics like sales, marketing, product, and finance.

Between honing your pitch and meeting with Propeller partners, this session gives WHOI researchers the chance to vie for a grant to kick off their work.
