Vegetables, Fruits, Algae.

WE MAKE ALGAE THE NEW STANDARD.

For years, scientists and researchers have been highlighting the power of algae. Not only as a food of the future, but also as one of the smartest ways to bring our health and planet into balance. Yet, they remained largely unnoticed.

Until now.

We're giving algae the spotlight it deserves, a place in our daily diet. With a clear plan and a forward-looking vision. Moving from the classic "5 of the Food Pyramid" to a new "6 of the Food Pyramid" – one in which algae takes a place alongside fruits and vegetables.

Because when it comes to nutritional value, algae are absolute game-changers.

Pioneering

What Patagonia did for clothing, Oatly for dairy, and Tony's Chocolonely for chocolate — that's what we want to do for food.

They didn't make us consume more—they made us consume better. Not by shouting louder, but by thinking ahead. By shifting the narrative and elevating the experience. By making people feel that things could be different. Better.

They proved that ideals and impact aren't contradictory. That you can start a movement without compromising on quality.

What they did for the clothing, dairy, and chocolate industries, we want to do for food. With algae. Big changes start with a good plan.

Why it's time for something new

What we eat affects more than we think. Not only our health and energy levels, but also the world around us. Our current food system isn't designed for this. It has two fundamental flaws:

01

It does not promote our health enough.

02

It does not sufficiently take into account the ecological limits of the planet.

Take Omega-3, for example: essential for the heart and brain. If everyone got the recommended dose from fish, there wouldn't be enough fish in the ocean. Protein is no different: it's essential for our bodies, but according to Wageningen University & Research, the global production of animal sources is simply unsustainable. The good news? Algae are the ultimate source of Omega-3—not fish. And they produce the same proteins and other vital nutrients, but with a fraction of the impact on land, water, and energy. We believe the ancient power of algae must play a key role in the food system of the future. That's why we're working on solutions that combine health and sustainability.

Tiny organism, big impact – the power of algae

Algae are fundamental, efficient, powerful, and ancient. Microscopic in size, yet immense in nutritional value. They are the source of all life on Earth, the lungs of the ocean, the foundation of the food chain, and the key to a brighter future. A solution that is millions of years old, yet perfectly suited to today's challenges.

Algae are nutritious

Algae are among the world's most complete sources of nutrition. Up to 70% high-quality protein. Omega-3 in its purest form. Rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. A daily support for your energy, focus, immunity, skin, hair, and gut.

Algae grow efficiently

Algae grow quickly and efficiently. Very efficiently. Without agricultural land, pesticides, or fertilizers. They are frugal with freshwater. They convert CO₂ 20 times more efficiently than land plants and don't disrupt ecosystems. Instead of taking up space, they restore balance.

Our plan

  • Change starts small—on your plate or in your daily routine. But it ends big—in the system.

    That's why we're working step by step on a new foundation. One where algae becomes a standard part of your diet, in the supermarket, and in society as a whole. We start with the value for you, to ultimately create collective value.

  • FOR YOU

    1. Superfoods: Algae in their purest form, as a daily supplement to your diet. For your energy, gut health, skin, hair, and immune system.
    2. Supplements: Sustainable, pure, and junk-free alternatives to popular algae-based supplements, such as Omega-3, Vitamin D, and Magnesium. Natural, plant-based, and effective.
    3. Supermarket: We develop products that integrate algae into the shelves: bars, protein shakes, cooking oil, pasta, snacks, spice mixes, and seaweed for cooking. This makes "Vegetables. Fruit. Algae." the new foundation.

  • FOR SOCIETY

    1. Society: We combat malnutrition with algae by enriching meals in places where it's needed most. In hospitals or schools in Africa, for example. High-quality nutrients, locally available.
    2. Sustainability: We support and initiate applications of algae beyond food: bio-plastics, biofuels, inks, ecosystem restoration, desalination, and CO₂ capture.

Building together

We're working on something fundamental. And that requires focus, creativity, and collaboration. That's why we're not looking for quick investors, but for a strong, conscious community. People like you, who believe in a better future and want to help build it.

Vote Algae

 Every euro you invest in plankton is a vote for progress. For nutrition that strengthens, for a system that heals. We invest your contribution in:

  1. Quality. Only the best algae for your health, always tested for food safety, produced as responsibly and locally as possible.
  2. Sustainability. We minimize the impact of your package with future-proof packaging materials, shipping, and suppliers.
  3. Service. The customer is king.
  4. Marketing & Community. Visibility is essential to create momentum. This is how we give algae the platform they deserve, both literally and figuratively.
  5. Product development. Relevant, healthy, and responsible products that empower you to be the best version of yourself.
  6. Collaboration & innovation. Together with other pioneers, we're building a system change.

When did we win?

If algae were as common as fruits and vegetables .

If they have a permanent place in our diet, and in the supermarket.

When nutrition is again about what is good for the body and the planet .

When algae are no longer a promise, but a given .

Then it worked.
