Starboard provides maritime domain awareness for nations that want to monitor and protect their waters. It analyses vessels and detects dark vessels, which are ships that do not show up in standard tracking data. It does this using AIS ship-tracking data and satellite data.

Why it matters in Australia: OIF Ventures has backed Starboard since 2025, investing in an early round.
