Investor services:

Investing in the seaweed sector requires a deep understanding of biology, engineering, production economics, and realistic scale-up potential. Totally Seaweed provides independent, science-based evaluations to help investors make informed, confident decisions.

Company business plan technical evaluation: Totally Seaweed reviews the biological, engineering, operational, and economic assumptions behind a company’s business plan. This includes assessing cultivation methods, expected yields, scale-up timelines, biosecurity risks, production projections, facility design, and product claims. The goal is to determine whether the plan is scientifically sound and commercially achievable.
Reality check company claims: Seaweed companies often make ambitious claims about productivity, bioactive content, environmental performance, or production costs. An unbiased analysis of whether those claims are feasible based on known biological limits, system constraints, historical data, and industrial benchmarks can be extremely valuable. These analyses can help investors avoid costly overestimations and identify genuine opportunities.

Start-up and Scale-up services:

Whether you're forming a new seaweed venture or preparing to expand an existing one, Totally Seaweed offers strategic, technical, and biological guidance to help ensure your plans are realistic, fundable, and built on solid scientific foundations.

Business plan development: Start-ups and growing companies must develop credible, investor-ready scale-up plans built on real data and proven design principles. This includes:

Defining production models and achievable yields
Estimating capital and operational costs
Identifying appropriate cultivation methods

Projecting product value and market fit

Outlining risk mitigation strategies
Establishing timelines supported by biological/technical realities

A strong business plan not only attracts investors—it prevents costly missteps during scale-up.
