About Me
Bali Ocean Days 2026
Hi, I'm Ophélie Clément. Entrepreneur based in Indonesia, deep in the blue economy ecosystem.
A few years ago, a snorkeling session in Bali stopped me cold: 50 meters from the beach, a coral graveyard. I couldn't look away. So I went all-in.
I spent months mapping the blue economy from the ground up: 200+ interviews with founders, NGOs, and investors. 100+ ocean ventures analyzed. Seaweed farms and coral restoration sites visited worldwide. Not from behind a screen, in the field.
What I found: incredible solutions already exist, but the ecosystem is invisible to itself. NGOs and startups can't find the right funders. Investors can't see the deal flow. Anyone trying to understand or navigate the ecosystem hits the same wall. I kept making introductions by hand, one at a time.
So I built The Ocean Toolbox: a living, searchable database that makes the ecosystem visible so the right people can finally connect. Whether you're an investor looking for deal flow, a founder or a NGO seeking funding, or simply trying to understand who does what in the blue economy.
