The material
Bloom in the grade and volume your product requires, with a Certificate of Analysis on every batch. Your prototype and your first production run begin from the same known material.
THE ACCELERATOR
Bring the idea. We bring the material, the science and the facility.
Somewhere in Belize a founder is turning sargassum into a product. The accelerator exists to find that founder, place Bloom and a laboratory behind the idea, and stay with it until it becomes a business that stands on its own.
WHO WE LOOK FOR
Innovators who see a product where others see a tide.
The ocean delivers a material to Belize every season. We look for the people who can turn it into fibers, building materials, personal care, packaging and products not yet imagined.
Some arrive with a prototype; others with a sketch and a market they understand better than anyone. We accept a limited number of participants each year, chosen case by case from any industry where Bloom can become the first ingredient of something new.
WHAT WE PUT BEHIND YOU
Everything a sargassum product needs, under one roof.
The science
Our marine scientists work beside you, testing formulations, answering the questions buyers and regulators will ask and documenting the results so your product meets a standard from the first day.
The facility and the network
Our processing facility, our trained crews and our relationships with buyers, agencies and funders become yours to draw on, from working sample to registered product with customers waiting.
THE TERMS
Built for the long run, agreed one founder at a time.
Our terms are flexible, competitive and designed to support the innovator's growth for the long term.
We shape each agreement around the product, its stage and the support it requires, and we share in the outcome rather than charge for the journey. You build the business. We stand behind it with the material, the science and the facility.
HOW IT WORKS
From a conversation to a company.
Apply
Describe the product, the market and what you need from us. A sketch is enough to begin.

Start with the idea. We will take it from there, together.
