Turning inspiration into impactful products and services requires more than creativity—it demands a proven framework and the right support. At CoastX, we empower students to transform their early-stage ideas into viable ventures using the Business Model Canvas.
Through hands-on guidance, we help them validate concepts through customer discovery, develop prototypes, and craft detailed business plans that lay the foundation for a successful launch.
With the core elements in place, we shift the focus to presentation skills, teaching students to deliver compelling pitches that captivate and inspire audiences.
When they're ready, CoastX connects students to local, regional, and national ocean-focused business plan competitions, providing competition coaching, mentorship and a platform to shine.
These competitions not only offer valuable experience but also reward winners with prize money that can be reinvested into their ideas—fueling innovation and creating a lasting impact in ocean-based industries.
