mimicseafood.com ↗ ·Madrid ·Pre-seed

Mimic Seafood is a Madrid-based foodtech startup making plant-based alternatives to raw seafood, best known for Tunato®, a tomato-based raw tuna alternative for sushi, poké and tartare made from just tomatoes, olive oil, algae, soy sauce and spices, plus AubergEel, an aubergine-based eel alternative. Founded in 2018 inside the -ivoro Food Innovation Hub in Madrid, it operates between Madrid and Copenhagen and sells B2B and retail in Spain, Denmark and other European markets. Its only disclosed financing is an undisclosed 2021 pre-seed round backed by FMCG angel investors and the Spanish agricultural co-op La Palma; it has also passed through accelerators including MassChallenge, Rockstart, Blue Bio Value and KM ZERO.
