The company is in the process of vertically integrating the business to build production capacity, develop a strong brand and capture a larger share of the upscale, gourmet seafood market in the U.S. and enter European markets.

    Good Work guys, I'm looking to pursue the same Goal. My company KingFishery Inc. will soon join the ranks.
    Keep up the good work.

    Open Blue Sea Farms gets my vote.

    After watching this company's video it is clear they can change the world. They have:
    1) A HUGE addressable market
    2) A clearly defined market problem/issue
    3) And a simple and really innovative solution for eco-friendly aquaculture (it sounds like they've already proven that open water cages work!)

    It is exciting to read about and see a company that will truly make the world a better place!
