Angel Investors Join Forces to Promote Aquaculture Innovation with Launch of Aqua Capital

As demand for sustainable seafood continues to grow globally, a new network of angel investors has emerged to address pressing issues facing the aquaculture industry.

London, England, United Kingdom – September 19, 2024 —

Aqua Capital is excited to announce the official launch of its venture capital arm, which aims to fill a significant funding gap for early-stage aquaculture startups by connecting innovative entrepreneurs with experienced investors committed to transforming the blue economy.

With pressure on wild fish stocks mounting and aquaculture predicted to provide more than 60% of fish for human consumption by 2030, the need for sustainable, efficient aquaculture solutions has never been more critical. Yet early funding for startups in this field remains limited, hampering the development of potentially groundbreaking technologies.

Aqua Capital aims to address this challenge by creating a centralized hub for angel investors looking to invest in pre-seed and seed-stage aquaculture innovations. The network will focus on key areas including sustainable feed solutions, water quality management, disease prevention, breeding and genetics, innovative infrastructure, and AI applications in aquaculture.

Neil Hunter, Advisor at Aqua Capital, commented: “The aquaculture industry is at a critical juncture. While the potential for growth and innovation is huge, many brilliant ideas struggle to secure early-stage funding. Aqua Capital is bridging this gap by combining financial investment with hands-on mentoring to nurture the next generation of aquaculture leaders.”

The network will offer free support to promising startups, helping them refine their business models, improve their pitch decks and prepare for investor questions. This hands-on approach ensures that startups are fully prepared to present their value and potential during investor meetings.

In the coming months, Aqua Capital plans to continue to grow its membership and partner with key incubators, hubs and accelerators across the region to identify promising startups. The group is particularly interested in ventures that address critical challenges in the aquaculture industry while promoting sustainability and scalability.

Entrepreneurs are invited to submit their non-confidential investor pitches via the Aqua Capital website. Aqua Capital intends to review all submissions and respond within a few days, emphasizing its commitment to working with potential investors quickly and effectively.
