Dalhousie University’s CDL Atlantic, part of the internationally noted Creative Destruction Lab network of startup accelerators, is still looking for this fall’s Oceans cohort. The deadline to apply is July 28, with programming beginning in October.

The nine-month program, founded by University of Toronto management professor Ajay Agrawal and now with operations in six countries, is milestone-based and does not charge founders a participation fee or take equity. The programming is aimed at seed-stage companies.

“Whether you focus on shipping and logistics, sustainable fishing and offshore aquaculture, marine resources and bio-products, marine and sustainable energy innovations, or naval and defense, our program is designed to support you,” said CDL in a statement.

The program is divided into a series of five meetings, with an emphasis on founders setting and then meeting key growth objectives. Participants are mentored by experienced entrepreneurs who have founded and sold "significant" companies. Mentors who participated in previous CDL Atlantic sessions have inlcuded figures like Clearwater Fine Foods billionaire and prolific venture capitalist John Risley and Jevon MacDonald, former CEO of Manifold and GoInstant.
