About Asia Ocean Fund (with OCTAVE Capital)
The Asia Ocean Fund is an impact investment fund for ocean ventures in Asia Pacific. OCTAVE Capital and Katapult Ocean announced it in September 2025 and co-manage it 50/50. It includes an accelerator programme and a Technical Assistance Facility. The announcement said the first accelerator was set to launch in the first half of 2026. The site does not say whether it has started or is taking applications. Its own pages give different fund sizes, so none is quoted here.
Who can apply

- Asia Pacific includes India, but the pages do not name India. No further eligibility is published.
How to apply: no application route is published for the fund or its accelerator. The general pitch form on the contact page is the only door.
