Aqua-Spark, based in the Netherlands, invests in small and mid-size sustainable fishing ventures, including frozen meals company Love the Wild, feedstock venture Calysta, and others.
The firm’s co-founders are backing Hatch, a Bergen, Norway-based accelerator program, to cultivate investable startups.
Hatch says it is the first accelerator specifically for aquaculture. “Aqua-Spark often encounters great ideas, products, and technologies that could have benefitted from ideation phase support,” Aqua-Spark said in a statement.
Aqua-Spark did not disclose the amount of the investment. The accelerator will work with eight companies in Bergen between April and June 2018.
