Incredible Pivots, Amazing Results - Aqualitas on Monday's Startup Tank with Aqua-Spark, Spin Ventures & Nomea VC
It is always amazing to see founding teams struggle before making a drastic pivot to powerful product-market fit… And that’s EXACTLY what Aqualitas have done during the course of our 4WARD.VC's Partner in Clime Climate Accelerator
They entered the program with super innovative technology but struggled finding the perfect value prop - until everything changed and turned into market pull :)
Boosting Fish Farm Yields by Keeping Fish Healthier
Aqualitas’ self-aware sensors to help aquaculture and fish farms monitor water quality & contaminants to optimize fish/shrimp yields and prevent diseaseTheir patented water sensors detect when their sensor quality is deteriorating and proactively (rather than reactively) fix the situation and prevent major health hazards or other issues - and save tons of time/$$/energy for aquaculture
ASK: They’re setting up several major grant-funded pilots with large fish farm and aquaculture companies and looking to establish more to prove their efficiency-boosting tech and scale. Please let us know if you like eating fish and know anyone they should talk to :)
