15 Oct 2021, 4:39 p.m.A Global Catalyst For Aquaculture And Alternative Seafood Innovation
The idea for Hatch was conceived in late 2017 by co-founders Carsten Krome, Georg Baunach and Wayne Murphy.
Our vision is to achieve the least-possible footprint of farmed and alternative seafood for the benefit of the oceans, terrestrial ecosystems and future generations.
After 6 years in operation, Hatch has invested in more than 65 companies, run six accelerators (going on seven and eight in 2025), raised a first US $8M fund and the second $93M Blue Revolution Fund as well as established offices in Ireland, Hawaii, Norway and Singapore.
The team has grown to +35 full-time members spread across the globe, who run the five business units – Hatch Blue Programs, Hatch Blue Consulting, Early Stage Investments, Blue Revolution Fund and The Fish Site.
