How to approach funds like Aqua-Spark

When reaching out to Aqua-Spark, founders should highlight how their solution addresses critical bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the aquaculture value chain, especially if it offers measurable environmental or social impact alongside commercial scalability. Demonstrating a clear path to integration within the broader aquaculture ecosystem and showing traction with real-world pilots or partnerships will resonate. Aqua-Spark values collaborative, long-term relationships, so founders should be prepared to discuss how their company can complement and benefit from the fund’s existing portfolio network.
