"With our finite time we want to do something important with great people. If that's you, let's chat."

Mission  

Atlantic Fish Co is developing cultivated seafood in our mission to provide the world delicious and sustainable protein. Climate change, pandemics, food security, and animal welfare - they all tie in to our broken food system. We believe technology can solve these problems and give both humans and animals a better future.

Values  

We believe company culture is critical to success. Our mission is a difficult one and will only be successful if we create a place where people love going to work.  We’re creating a diverse and inclusive culture that respects each other, is relentless in pursuit of our mission, and has a sense of urgency.
