  • Co-Founder

    Tried out a bunch of ideas. Main one was a supply chain platform to digitize B2B seafood transactions and generate ESG data to monitor our impact on the oceans. It was a great learning experience, where we won several pitching competitions and received a term sheet, but ultimately we decided to not proceed because it was not disruptive enough.
