BlueNalu is a San Diego-based company that produces cell-cultivated seafood using cellular aquaculture technology—a consistent, high-quality alternative to conventional seafood products.
BlueNalu Founder, President, and CEO Lou Cooperhouse’s mission for the company has not changed since its founding in 2017: BlueNalu strives to be the global leader in cell-cultivated seafood that’s delicious, healthy for people, humane for sea life, and sustainable for the planet.
Representing Morrison Foerster’s Food + Agriculture industry group, New York partner Mitchell Presser and San Francisco partner Claudia Vetesi recently interviewed Lou Cooperhouse and Chief Technology Officer Lauran Madden, Ph.D., to discuss BlueNalu’s startup journey, the emerging industry’s regulatory and legal challenges, and the seafood market overall.
