AquaRech: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

We are a social enterprise targeting rural based small-scale fish farmers to improve their productivity, increase income and develop an inclusive community based aquaculture value chain. Aquarech App is a centralized database system that links key actors in the fish value chain namely; farmers, trader and input suppliers. The innovation monitors growth of fish from the time of stocking to the time of sale. It provides vital production data such as the quantity of feed fed, average daily growth, FCR, fish price, feed cost. Further to this the innovation has an inbuilt feeding regime that calculates automatically for the farmer the exact amount of feed to be fed based on water temperature, size of fish and quantity of fish. Our Objectives : To improve fish production through better data recording practices utilizing the App within the first year of operation To connect farmers and traders through a streamlined online trading platform based on the App To connect input suppliers and farmers through a customized central database hosted on the App within six months To reduce/eliminate fish for sex trade by enabling women fish traders to access fish through a verified platform free of any manipulated data or circumstances within the first harvest.

About FundedIQ's AquaRech Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for AquaRech is left off this page rather than filled in.
