Fortuna Cools Seed Round

Sustainable ocean tech startup with new product

Katapult Ocean Portfolio Company, Fortuna Cools closed their Seed Round and launched their second product, The Nutshell Cooler: a sustainable, collapsible cooler made from coconuts!

A Manila based startup, Fortuna Cools is innovating with new materials to replace insulating, single-use plastics under the storage and transport of fresh foods. Their first product uses up-cycled, biodegradable coconut fibre in collaboration with the nonprofit conservationists, Rare.

Fortuna Cools is a part of Katapult Ocean’s second company fund and participated in the third wave of The Ocean Accelerator Program:

“Katapult Ocean pushed us to develop our business model and plan for growth, and equally important, it helped us develop our impact metrics and improve the way we tell our story. It was great to have a cohort of inspiring companies and smart founders working together on similar challenges.”- David Cutler, CEO and CoFounder of Fortuna Cools.
