Atlantic Fish closes $1.2M seed round

Atlantic Fish Co. (“AFC”), a food technology company developing premium cultivated seafood, has closed its seed financing round with participation from Katapult Ocean, Alwyn Capital, DMV Capital, the Georgetown Angel Investment Network (GAIN), and other mission-aligned investors. 

Combined, AFC has secured $1.2 million in funding for this round to execute against key technical, product, and regulatory milestones. Total funding to date is $2.3M.

In addition, AFC has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). 

With 90% of global fish stocks harvested at maximum capacity or overfished, the $400 billion seafood market faces a critical supply challenge. Traditional aquaculture can’t address this gap as it is limited to a small number of species. AFC's platform technology works across any species—the team has successfully demonstrated the technology with both seafood and land-based proteins—but is starting with high-value whitefish.

AFC's proprietary platform produces lean muscle —starting with black sea bass—that delivers restaurant-quality fillets without mercury, microplastics, antibiotics, or parasites. The company is building toward regulatory submission and launch in collaboration with chefs and foodservice partners.
