Alma Ocean is creating a culture shift for the black and brown community in the water space.
We are the first Black-owned startup to design culturally-inspired inflatables pools, floats, and water accessories for all diverse communities to enjoy water activities. Our mission is to honor UNITY, CREATIVITY and DIVERSITY within the water community for adults and families.
THE PROBLEM
More representation remains to be unseen in the advertising of water products in the Black and Brown community. It's time for more encouragement in the water space and to start NORMALIZING BASIC SWIMMING SKILLS.
HOW WE SOLVE THE PROBLEM
- By designing CULTURALLY-INSPIRED pools, floats, kids floaties and water accessories we speak to all communities.
- Offering sustainable solutions with UPCYCLING services that transform old, used floats and pools into one-of-a-kind waterproof wearables and accessories.
- BUILDING A COMMUNITY around water activities for all to enjoy. Providing access to resources for water activities such as swimming lessons, surf lessons, local pools and water-friendly resorts.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Join the wave and help all communities swim for the culture by feeling and looking good when enjoying water activities. With our tailored designs we speak to diverse cultures and ethnicities, Alma Ocean embraces diversity in the inflatable industry and water space. We are inspiring more communities to embrace swimming pools, beaches, and making it fun and safe for everyone!
WHY CROWDFUNDING
The designs are created, the patterns and shapes have been finalized. We are ready to manufacture and ship a wonderful variety of pools, floats, kids’ floaties and water accessories for all to enjoy Summer 2021.
We need your help!
Crowdfunding will enable us to hit the gas and go by producing this unique product offering and shipping by Spring 2021. All funds raised on the iFundWomen platform will be used for start-up logistics, manufacturing costs, marketing, and promotions to help us spread the word.
“I wanted a product that spoke to my culture. I wanted to see and feel inspired by the inflatable designs, so I created my own!”
- Danielle Hodge, Founder & CEO.
