SHRIMPL SUCCESSFULLY CLOSES PRE-SERIES A FUNDING ROUND

Shrimpl successfully closes Pre-Series A funding round to transform the global sustainable aquaculture industry. Shrimpl, a global leader in aquaculture analytics, proudly announces the successful closing of its Pre-Series A investment round, led by MileDeep Capital, a strategic aquatech investor. This funding marks a significant milestone in Shrimpl’s mission to redefine sustainable aquaculture by deploying its scientifically backed digital platforms and risk management solutions across key global markets.

Expanding into India and Strengthening Global Market Presence

This funding round will accelerate Shrimpl’s entry into the Indian market, one of the world’s largest  shrimp-producing regions valued at over USD 8 billion. By introducing its science-driven analytics and digital aquaculture solutions, Shrimpl will empower Indian shrimp farmers with precision insights, risk management frameworks, and financial accessibility — helping them enhance
efficiency, profitability, and sustainability.

Beyond India, Shrimpl will continue scaling its operations in Latin America and Southeast Asia, including Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. This expansion will drive
the adoption of scientifically validated farm optimisation and risk management tools, helping aquaculture businesses scale production, manage risk, and improve financial viability.

A Scientific, Evidence-Based Approach to Aquaculture

At the core of Shrimpl’s platform is its scientifically validated, data-driven approach, combining advanced bioeconomic modelling, AI, and satellite imagery to revolutionise aquaculture decision making across the supply chain. With more than 1,000,000 hectares of aquaculture ponds digitised and indexed, including more than 200,000 hectares in India, Shrimpl’s proprietary tools — including SatEye and Shrimpl Resiliency Score — enable:

✔ Remote ground-truthing of farm data without requiring on-site visits.
✔ Creation of digital twins for every farm and pond, enabling continuous monitoring.
✔ High-accuracy scenario modelling for biomass forecasting, financial planning, and risk assessment.

This scientific, evidence-backed methodology enables aquaculture stakeholders to make highly informed decisions, improve yield predictability, and optimize financial and environmental
outcomes with a level of precision previously unattainable in the industry.

Making Aquaculture Bankable and Insurable

As the demand for sustainable seafood continues to grow, aquaculture remains underfunded due to high perceived risks and a lack of standardised financial metrics. Shrimpl bridges this gap by
applying scientific rigor and technology-driven risk modelling, making aquaculture bankable and insurable through:

✔ Improved financial predictability with real-time data and evidence-based insights.
✔ De-risked lending and insurance solutions, enabling more accessible financing and risk transfer.
✔ Higher margins and lower volatility for farmers, feed mills, and processors.

“We are building a digital aquaculture ecosystem that connects people and businesses through scientific, evidence-backed data and analytics — enabling smarter decisions with less risk. We believe aquaculture should be profitable, resilient, and sustainable,” said Ciaron McKinley, CEO of Shrimpl.

“At Miledeep Capital, we are committed to leveraging technology to improve food quality and sustainability, recognising that our future is intricately tied to the health of the planet. We aim to lead the way in creating a more sustainable growth, innovation, and responsible food ecosystem that will benefit both consumers and the planet for generations to come. Our collaboration with Shrimpl is not merely an investment; it is a strategic partnership that aligns with our core values of environmental sustainability and our commitment to reducing carbon footprint,” said Mile Deep Capital.

A Vision for the Future

With the backing of MileDeep Capital, Shrimpl is poised to set new standards for aquaculture finance and risk management. This funding will further Shrimpl’s scientific innovation, ensuring that
farmers, feed mills, equipment providers, lenders, and insurers have the data-driven insights needed to make aquaculture scalable, sustainable, and financially viable for the future
