Aqua-Spark

Date: 2017

Asset Class: Venture Capital

Description:  Aqua-Spark invests in sustainable aquaculture and is building an ecosystem across the value chain and geographies. The investments will benefit from each other and from Aqua-Spark’s network of experts and partners. Sample investments areas include alternative feed solutions, farming, technology, disease treatments and market access.

Why We Invest: The oceans are overfished, the demand for seafood is growing, and current aquaculture practices are unsustainable. Aqua-Spark is taking a novel approach of focusing on an underserved and important industry, leveraging the expertise of scientists and industry veterans, and offering an open ended fund so there is less pressure on their underlying businesses to drive for liquidity events.
