Smolt, a startup farming cherry salmon with technology from the University of Miyazaki, has raised $1.3M in pre-Series A funding. The round drew backing from mint, Samurai Incubate, Anobaka, and Chugin Capital Partners.
The company leans on fish and regional characteristics to raise sakuramasu, a high-end species, and sells its own brand of salmon products alongside seed supply for sustainable aquaculture.
