# Stealthy Portland area startup selected for Maritime Blue Ventures Seattle Incubator

As a startup, you often need to gravitate to where the resources are. Sometimes, it’s talent. Sometimes, it’s customers. And more often than not, it’s the mentorship and guidance you need to build your company. Which is why Portland companies landing spots in incubators and accelerators outside of the region is a fairly common occurrence. This time, it’s [Kreneon](https://www.kreneon.io/), which was just selected to participate in the [Maritime Blue Ventures Seattle Incubator cohort for 2026](https://maritime-executive.com/corporate/maritime-blue-ventures-launches-2026-cohorts-for-early-stage-innovation).

> Over a full year, the selected startups will receive a rent-free collaborative working space in addition to accessing the full suite of Maritime Blue cluster members, stakeholders, and partners. As a member of the 1000 Ocean Startup Coalition, Maritime Blue supports its portfolio of startups to connect with a global ecosystem of investors and support organizations, and the utilization of the Ocean Impact Navigator – a shared impact measurement tool used by the world’s most active ocean and maritime investors.

“We’re thrilled to welcome this next cohort of founders and startups accelerating maritime technology and ocean-based solutions,” said Joshua Berger, President and CEO of Maritime Blue. “These founders are poised to make significant economic, environmental, and community impacts. To support them, we provide extensive mentorship and access to our industry cluster, including leading businesses, research institutions, public agencies, and community organizations.”

Kreneon fits the bill. How…?

> We are mobilizing trillion-dollar financial markets to bridge the $13T global water infrastructure gap. By transforming verified water production into a bankable asset, we focus global capital on the mission of industrial, national, and global water security. While Kreneon enables the private sector to meet immediate procurement requirements, our core mission is structural: we are building the permanent market infrastructure to ensure today’s capital secures tomorrow’s lifeblood.
