Company, Top 3 in the Petroleum & Gas Category in Relationship with Startups from the Ranking of the 50 Open Corps 2022, Will Select Four Startups to Receive Mentoring and Personalized Journey During Acceleration
Ocyan, a company in the oil and gas sector, selected nine startups from 83 applicants and/or mapped for the second edition of its innovation program Ocyan Waves Booster for the Pitch Day. In this phase, participants present more details of the proposed solutions to the company’s operational challenges, which aims to evolve in the ESG agenda and create new business opportunities. The Pitch Day takes place tomorrow (07/06), online, and the judging panel will include Roberto Ramos, CEO of Ocyan, members of the Innovation Committee, and specialist team members from the company.
“We had a significant number of startups enrolled in the program, which reinforces the relevance of the Booster for the innovation ecosystem. The goal of this edition is to map opportunities aligned with energy evolution and efficiency, operational asset management, and smart maintenance. The Pitch Day is a crucial step because it allows interaction between the startups and Ocyan. It is the moment when company members can contact those responsible for developing the solutions, ask questions, and closely evaluate each proposal,” comments Patrícia Grabowsky, Executive Manager of Innovation and Digital Transformation at Ocyan.
After the Pitch Day, four startups will advance to the Immersion phase, during which they will join the Ocyan team to design the proof of concept, with the construction of the pilot project scope. The proof of concept will be funded by Ocyan, and the amount allocated to each pilot will vary according to the project.

The main goal of the Ocyan Waves Booster is to stimulate the growth of startups in the Brazilian innovation ecosystem, as well as to empower entrepreneurs through personalized methods and mentoring so that, in the future, their solutions can impact the Oil, Gas, and Energy market. To achieve this, the program has a specific maturity indicator to evaluate, in a tangible way, the evolution of startups in aspects such as: Market, Management, etc.
Ocyan Waves Booster
The Ocyan Waves Booster was created in 2022 on the Ocyan Waves platform and, over six months, provided 52 hours of mentoring and meetings, with discussions and studies on the topics of market, product, business model, team and capital management.
The program mobilized 20 Ocyan members, who interacted with the entrepreneurs. The team included specialist mentors, mentor sponsors, and the company’s innovation team, along with invited external mentors such as Hector Gusmão, CEO and Co-Founder of Bolder, and Orlando Ribeiro, innovation consultant at Neo Okeanos and angel investor at Urca Angels.
In the first edition, 73 startups entered the program funnel, with 19 of them going through the interview phase, eight advancing in the Pitch Day, and three being accelerated.
The Ocyan Waves platform was launched three years ago and, in addition to the new program, is also composed of the Ocyan Waves Challenge, which has become a consolidated and recognized program in the startups ecosystem. The results of these two fronts in innovation have contributed to show how Ocyan interacts with the ecosystem. In 2022, the company was listed among the companies that have the best relationships with startups – it was present in the ranking of the 50 Open Corps and among the top 3 in the Petroleum & Gas category.
