About BOMARINO

BOMARINO is one of the flagship ventures born within Maritime Ventures. It is a smart vessel assistant that centralizes all technical, operational, and maintenance data of a boat or yacht – turning disorganized documentation and fragmented support into a seamless, AI‑powered experience.

By connecting shipyards, owners, and service providers, BOMARINO helps users manage their vessel’s lifecycle with predictive maintenance, real‑time insights, and access to trusted suppliers and technicians. The platform is designed for both B2B and B2B2C markets, with early validation from potential users in the leisure and small‑commercial boating segments.

BOMARINO is currently in product development with strong traction and backing, and we are now looking for a CEO/Entrepreneur in Residence to lead the venture into the next phase of growth.

Requirements

• Strong entrepreneurial mindset and hands‑on attitude
• Experience in early‑stage start‑ups, ideally as a founder or first hire
