NEVER MAKES IT TO THE TABLE
and although there is an argument on "AQUACULTURE"
being the way forward...

its important to understand that the industry is dependent on wild


caught fishes as feed to a certain extent which creates a bottle neck in
the future with reducing number of fishes in the oceans
AND SO WHAT WE NEED NOW IS...

a new way to produce fish, one that doesnt come at the


expense of our environment nor health
FISHEROO' APPROACH
development of cell-baSed fish with a niche focus in surimi
which is essentially a concoction of fish, water & additives

and we have chosen surimi based on its

scalability VERSATILITY
with respect to scalability, the absence of structural
requirements

removes the need for sophisticated Removes the need for several levels of
scaffolds, allowing for cost of production downstream bioprocesses which allows for
to be reduced by folds long term reduction in operational cost
With respect to versatility...

Yet, cells are only part of the equation in cultivated meat production and the different value
chains are as important. At Fisheroo, we took on a hyper collaborative approach by creating an
ecosystem of collaborators to accelerate our R&D while also allowing us to identify holes to
plug from a big picture standpoint.
Our Potential Customers
and in the grand scheme of things, our plan is to create surimi at scale and sell it as an ingredient via
a b2B model to both classic surimi product manufacturers and innovative plant based companies

FOR PLANT-BASED COMPANIES...

we are looking to develop hybrid products that is driven by


the demand from 42% of global consumers that identify
themselves as "flexitarians"
"EDUTAINMENT"
and as we work towards commercialisation, we are also doubling down on marketing.

Thus...
The idea of "Edutainment",
where through an entertaining
hook like comics, we integrate
facts, principles, theories and
debunked myths to educate
consumers about the truth of
cellular agriculture.
at the same time...

We are also creating value for our


primary customers, the manufactuers
where they can leverage not only our
product but also our brand through
the idea of co-branding where
consumers can easily identify
products made with Fisheroo's surimi
that are healthy & sustainable.
