Rooser, a start-up that provides a marketplace for sourcing fish from wholesalers to retailers to customers has raised about $23 million to fund its operations to expand in existing and new markets. This round is led by Index Ventures, with GV (previously Google Ventures), Point Nine Capital, Figma CEO and co-founder Dylan Field, and David Nothacker, co-founder and CEO of freight and cargo start-up Sennder, are also participating.
Joel Watt, the CEO of the company said, “You have the boats and fisheries, those turning the products into things you can eat, wholesalers and distributors, and then restaurants and fishmongers. All of those need one-to-one communication, but there are in reality many actors and many price points.” The CEO has scaled the business to a $10 million turnover in 10 years and aims to expand it further.
