2MKT ventures is now...1BLU ventures
1BLU ventures
1BLU ventures is personal. The creation of this entity is an evolution of previous work as WRG Blue. 1BLU will continue professional and advocacy endeavors with a more personal approach - an approach that is more MISSION focused than before.
OUR MISSION
To support and work with entities, companies, projects, and initiatives that work to improve the HEALTH OF THE OCEAN.
We do not focus on the: "Blue Economy." Our Mission is not about making money at perhaps the expense of The Ocean; rather, we seek to support The Ocean and ITS RIGHTS while also working to identify those programs, projects, and yes, even products, that fully SUPPORT The Ocean and its health.
We are realists. We recognize that execution on this mission must involve capital. Therefore, we seek to create and find funds - primarily PRIVATE FUNDS - in support of identified programs, projects and products in which 1BLU ventures has a level of direct involvement and/or investment.
