The company

Seabreath LLC emerged from over three decades of dedicated research aimed at creating a wave energy converter capable of delivering truly viable power generation—combining economic competitiveness, resilience in extreme marine conditions, and minimal environmental impact.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Parma, Italy, the company builds on a foundation of patents and academic studies initiated at the University of Padua in 2008. Over the years, these early innovations have evolved into advanced solutions and optimizations that may lead to additional patents, not only within wave energy but across broader blue‑economy applications.
To maintain agility and minimize fixed costs, Seabreath currently operates through a lean organizational model that leverages specialized external partners while focusing internal efforts on research and development. During the pilot phase, the company will rely on freelance professionals, with the intention of transitioning key contributors into long‑term roles, including potential equity participation upon successful milestones.
Seabreath collaborates with a network of high‑level partners, including:
• a leading technology hub,
• a specialized marine engineering firm,
• a university with recognized expertise in wave energy,
• a naval electronics design and manufacturing company,
• a renewable‑energy instrumentation provider,
• a precision metalworking company,
• and additional sector experts.
Seabreath is a small company with a bold vision: to deliver practical, scalable solutions to global energy and environmental challenges through next‑generation wave energy technology.

 
Vision and Problem

The world needs renewable sources that are more stable and predictable. Wave motion is one of the most constant energy resources on the planet, yet existing technologies have not achieved a balance between cost, reliability, and resilience in open‑sea conditions.

SeaBreath was created to solve this problem with a radically different approach: a modular, floating OWC system designed to withstand even extreme marine environments.

 

The Seabreath Solution

Seabreath is developing a wave energy converter based on multiple oscillating water column chambers, optimized for:

  • Higher energy efficiency enabled by modularity

  • Reduced installation and maintenance costs

  • Structural robustness in severe metocean conditions

  • Minimal environmental impact, with no invasive seabed components

The technology is the result of over 30 years of research, patents, and university testing, with studies initiated in 2008 at the University of Padua.

 
State of the Art and Traction

SeaBreath has already achieved significant milestones:

  • Patents filed and validated

  • Laboratory testing on multiple models at the University of Padua

  • Presentations at international conferences and awards (Shanghai Expo, Kuwait International Fair, SMAU Lamarck Award, Marevivo)

  • Active collaborations with technology centers, naval design firms, marine electronics companies, and renewable‑energy equipment providers

This combination of academic research, recognition, and technical partnerships forms a solid foundation for the next phase.

 

Why Now
  • Global demand for renewable energy is growing faster than supply

  • Wave energy remains an open market, with few mature players and enormous untapped potential

  • European regulations are pushing for modular, low‑impact offshore solutions

  • OWC technologies are among the most promising for reliability and scalability

SeaBreath is positioned at the ideal moment to move from laboratory validation to real‑world deployment.

 

Business Model

The business model includes:

  • Sale or licensing of the technology to utilities, offshore operators, and marine‑energy developers

  • Recurring revenue from maintenance, upgrades, and modular components

  • Potential expansion into related blue‑economy sectors (smart mooring, dedicated turbines, modular structures)

 
Investment Request

Seabreath is seeking capital to:

  • Build the full‑scale 1:1 prototype of the modular floating OWC system

  • Conduct sea trials to validate performance, resilience, and operating costs

  • Prepare for industrialization and commercial partnerships

With this investment, the company aims to achieve:

  • Full technical validation

  • Certifications required for market entry

  • Initial pilot installations with utilities or offshore operators

 

Investor Summary

Seabreath is a wave‑energy technology with:

  • 30 years of research behind it

  • Patents and university testing already completed

  • Active industrial collaborations

  • A modular, scalable solution in a rapidly growing market

  • A clear, financeable next step: the 1:1 prototype

Team

 

Founded by Dr. Luigi Rubino, economist and independent researcher in the wave‑energy sector, SeaBreath operates with a lean model based on specialized outsourcing and collaborations with universities, marine companies, and technology partners.

The team is small but highly specialized, with complementary expertise in marine engineering, electronics, materials, and naval design.

History

2008 – first patent

2009 – different models was tested in the laboratory of the University of Padua, The technology was successfully presented in several international conferences of the field and it was the subject of different thesis

2010 – Seabreath was in exposition at the Italian Pavilion Shanghai Expo

2011 – silver medal at the IV International Fair of the Inventions of the Middle East – Kuwait City

2012 – Confindustria Lamarck SMAU Award first place

2012 – second place at the International Marevivo competition

2018 – foundation of Seabreath LLC

Seabreath had, and continues to have, several international experiences, collaborations and expositions in fairs like Ecomondo, Key Energy, Solar and Storage, Pollutec, etc.

We also have other conceptual solutions for :

  • a smart mooring
  • an optimized umbilical cable
  • a new swing-stop
  • a modular tubular lattice structure
  • a valve
  • a dedicated printed turbine
  • a floating and modular vertical-axis offshore wind turbine

We are seeking funding to continue development with the creation of a 1:1 scale prototype of a floating, modular, multi-chambers oscillating water colums wave energy converter (OWCs WEC) to be tested at sea.
