The prize was awarded to the company Saturday at Hauck Auditorium at the University of Maine in Orono.
Runners-up were American Roots, a Westbrook apparel company, and Flowfold, a Gorham outdoor wear manufacturer.
Ocean’s Balance was picked from a field of 60 fledgling Maine companies which auditioned to be one of 26 companies in a weekly show on NewsCenter Maine, WCSH.
Mitchell Lench, chief executive officer of Ocean’s Balance, said the company would invest the grant to expand its business.
Greenlight Mane, a statewide group focused on promoting new businesses, is now seeking submissions for its fifth season. More information is available on its website, www.greenlightmaine.com.
