SOA Seabird Ventures

Matt Mulrennan serves as Head of Investments and leads the venture strategy for SOA Seabird Ventures. He co-founded Latin American climate tech fund Savia Ventures and previously directed the XPRIZE Ocean Initiative, which awarded $10 million in prizes to 50 ocean-health companies (per the firm's website). CEO Anne Park oversees the parent organization but does not appear to hold a day-to-day investing role. The board of the parent organization, Sustainable Ocean Alliance, includes operators from Acumen, For Good Ventures, and Goodwin Law, though their influence on specific deal decisions is not publicly detailed.

SOA Seabird Ventures draws its pipeline from the Sustainable Ocean Alliance's global community, which includes an Ocean Leadership Network of regional hubs, an Ecopreneur Network for post-pre-seed startups, and an Ocean Leaders Fellowship across 115 countries. The parent organization has activated more than 6,000 young leaders whose local expertise helps surface and vet early-stage ocean and climate ventures. This community-driven model gives the investment arm access to deals that often bypass traditional venture scouting channels.
