At the beginning of this year, we were named by as one of the Top 10 Startups to Watch in 2025. As the year comes to a close, Business News has now reviewed how each of the Top 10 performed over the year.
For us, 2025 has been a landmark year.
We launched our two flagship commercial products, Ruby Sea™ and Alga Toro™, gained global recognition through the Australian Startup Exchange in Houston, and represented Western Australia at World Expo Osaka as part of the WA Innovator Roundtable.
We also completed a A$3.4m seed capital raise in Q1 2025, secured $740,000 in matched Federal Government funding through the Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA), and earlier this month were selected as one of just five recipients of the WA Commercialisation Bridge Grant.
Over the past year, we’ve transitioned from an R&D-focused startup into a commercially ready business - with validated IP, global partnerships, and strong government backing.
This growth is just the beginning. We’ve got big plans for 2026 💥
