| AQUA Cultured Foods | Aqua Cultured Foods is a food technology startup specializing in the development of alternative seafood products. The company utilizes a proprietary microbial fermentation process to produce whole-muscle cut seafood analogs that replicate the taste, texture, and appearance of traditional seafood without using any fish or animal inputs. Theirproduct line includes fish-free tuna, scallops, and shrimp, which are designed for use in dishes such as sashimi, ceviche, and sushi.Aqua's fermentation process involves growing cellulose into whole-cut filets in a controlled environment, similar to traditional fermentation methods used in brewing. This approach allows the products to retain naturally occurring fiber and micronutrients, distinguishing them from other plant-based seafood alternatives.The company's products are vegan, allergen-free, gluten-free, and free from contaminants such as mercury and microplastics. They have a shelf life of up to six weeks when refrigerated, offering a consistent and stable supply compared to traditional seafood.Aqua Cultured Foods aims to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional seafood by eliminating the need for fishing or farming, thereby reducing pressure on ocean ecosystems and contributing to environmental conservation efforts. | $2.3M | Pre-Seed | Oct 27, 2021 |  |
| Bucha Bio | Bucha Bio creates a novel biomaterial grown from infinitely renewable bacterial-nanocellulose. Strands of natural fibers interlock to form a high-performance textile with a luxuriously soft handfeel. Produced in weeks rather than months or years, use it in premium applications instead of animal leather, polyurethane, latex, vinyl, and so much more.Creating a reliable material is our goal, adding plastics and petrochemicals like PU polyurethane would make it easy, but we’ve never taken the easy way out. Committed to sustainability, Bucha Bio’s team is dedicated to creating a completely biodegradable textile that enables the next generation of designers to create products for a more sustainable future. Our biomaterial is water-resistant, scratch-resistant, sunlight-resistant, flame-resistant, and so many more reasons to test it out in your next product. | $550K | Seed | Oct 18, 2021 |  |
