About

OG is the brainchild of a small group of Silicon Valley veterans who are passionate about the Ocean and want to do more to help. In collaboration with scientists and researchers, we use our Silicon Valley contacts, research abilities and a lot of determination to accelerate the good work being done by outstanding Ocean-focused nonprofits. You may have wondered about the capital "O" we use for the word "Ocean"?  We believe the Ocean deserves our ultimate respect, adoration and glorification, so it's just our little way of paying homage.
