Ordinary Seafood
We are doing for seafood what Impossible did for meat
We make plant-based seafood using biotech to create sustainable alternatives that taste and feel like real seafood. Our product targets consumers who want to reduce their environmental impact without giving up seafood.
We live in Potsdam, BB, Germany, and would base the company here after YC as well.
We are based in Potsdam because that is where our team is located and where our biotech capabilities are strongest. Staying local allows us to build efficiently with our current resources and network.
