Optimizing aquaculture with presice data

OptoScale was founded by CoFounder based on a identified challenge with biomass insights in salmon aquaculture. The company is one of the worlds leading suppliers of underwater cameras for aquaculture. With the technology from Optoscale the salmon farmers have live data on the fish welfare and growth without manual handling.

CoFounder initiated and supported OptoScale from start to scale

CoFounder initiated and supported OptoScale from start to scale

The idea behind OptoScale came from Sven Kolstø after spending time to get to know the aquaculture segment. He noticed that many critical decisions in the operation were made on limited and inaccessible data. Together the CoFounder team built the foundation for a new company to address this challenge. Sven became the CEO and has led the company to success, building value and employees in Trondheim. CoFounder has supported the company with capital in several rounds.
