Hatch Blue Fuels the Future of Food: $1.5M Boost for catchfree's Plant-Powered Seafood Revolution!

We are thrilled to announce that catchfree, the innovative FoodTech start-up emerging from the Swiss Technical Institute of Technology (ETH), has secured $1,500,000 in new funding led by Hatch Blue. This significant investment marks a transformative chapter in our journey to revolutionize the seafood industry with our plant-only alternatives. At catchfree, our mission is clear: to offer consumers a healthy, sustainable, and delicious option to traditional seafood through our proprietary process that brilliantly mimics the taste, texture, and appearance of real seafood using only all-natural, plant-based ingredients.

 The fresh infusion of capital will primarily be used to scale up production capabilities, invest in advanced research and development, and broaden our market reach both locally and globally. With global seafood consumption projected to double by 2050, our commitment to creating sustainable food solutions has never been more crucial. This funding will accelerate our production processes, enabling us to deliver our "seafood, simply from plants" promise with even greater efficiency and quality. Simultaneously, it will empower us to further refine our innovative techniques and bring more consumer-friendly, environmentally responsible products to a rapidly growing market. Our journey from ETH to becoming a trailblazer in the plant-based seafood space has been fueled by passion, scientific excellence, and a commitment to environmental stewardship. With Hatch Blue’s support, we are excited to tackle the challenges posed by the conventional seafood industry head-on, ensuring that our customers can enjoy healthy and sustainable choices without any "fishy business." The future of seafood is bright, and we are proud to lead the way toward a more sustainable, plant-powered future.
