May 2019Undisclosed stage-$42MForever Oceans develops sustainable offshore aquaculture technology, raising fish like Seriola rivoliana (yellowtail) in deep-water habitats off Indonesia, Panama, and Brazil using patented enclosures that withstand harsh conditions and minimize environmental impact. The company achieved the first commercial-scale deep-water aquaculture, focusing on nutritious, responsibly farmed seafood amid overfishing concerns. The company raised $42 million in an Unattributed - IV round on June 10, 2019 (noted as May 2019 in some sources), led by undisclosed investors including Bessemer Venture Partners from earlier rounds. This followed a $1.1 million raise in March 2016 and preceded a $68 million round in June 2021, with total funding exceeding $111 million by 2021 and up to $242.62 million to date per some trackers. Leadership includes CEO Bill Bien with ag-tech experience, CFO Ilya Cantor from Wall Street Journal and EPAM, and COO Ross Gordon from Baja Aqua Farms and Clean Seas Seafood. The firm employs over 100 people and uses automated systems for remote fish monitoring and feeding. Investors are drawn to its scalable, low-impact model in the sustainable seafood space.
