I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chief Financial Officer at Fundamentalco!

Today, we're thrilled to announce our partnership with leading, multinational sushi restaurant operator FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES LTD. / Sushiro. F&LC is the largest sushi restaurant operator in Japan and one of the largest foodservice buyers globally of bluefin tuna, which will be our focus for our initial commercial product. F&LC operates iconic brands and over 1,000 restaurants across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand & Mainland China and we’re eager to learn more about the Japanese market, test various product applications, gain access to consumer feedback, and optimize products for the ultimate culinary experience and more. At BlueNalu, we’re incredibly motivated by the opportunity to work with leading companies to create a real seafood supply chain solution to meet the growing demand while protecting our ocean. Partnerships like this will help to bring BlueNalu’s contaminant free, no-catch, cell-cultured seafood to consumers and foodservice operators worldwide.

Today, we're pleased to announce that we have raised $60 million in debt financing - the largest funding in cell-based seafood to date globally. This financing will enable the completion of our 40,000 sq. ft. pilot production facility and completion of FDA regulatory review. We're excited to bring you a wide variety of cell-based seafood products from this pilot production facility over the years, starting with mahi mahi later this year and followed by the launch of a premium bluefin tuna thereafter. Join us on our mission to #EatBlue.
