Oceeto, a company dedicated to creating innovative solutions for today’s parents and caregivers, has continued their success since participating in the regional I-Corps Propelus program in March of 2023. In October, they granted a utility patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for their product, the Care’digan – a fashionable and practical garment that helps caregivers take care of children. In November, Oceeto was awarded a $50,000 grant as one of only ten recipients in the Delaware Division of Small Businesses' Fall 2024 “EDGE” Competition. With the utility patent and the grant award, Oceeto will finalize production for the Care’digan and launch its go-to-market strategy.
