coastal-protection-solutions slides speaking notes
This slide deck (presented by Alex Berkowitz, CEO) introduces The Wavebreaker — a modular coastal barrier that reduces wave height/velocity while generating electricity. The presentation motivates the product with Hurricane Sandy experience and global risk statistics, claims rapid (72-hour) deployability and large cost savings ($160K/unit; $2M/mile vs $6–10M+ for seawalls), quantifies wave-energy reduction (40–80%), outlines market opportunity and traction (awards, LOIs, partnerships), and gives a near-term roadmap (tank testing in 2025, pre-seed raise).
