Chicago-based S2G Ventures, a multi-stage investment firm focused on the food, agriculture, ocean and seafood markets, has now invested in five companies across four countries as part of its inaugural investment in oceans and seafood.

Last summer, S2G launched its $100 million (€84.1 million) oceans and seafood fund under the management of market specialists Kate Danaher and Larsen Mettler.

Backed by Lukas Walton, grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton, S2G started in 2014 as a pioneer in sustainability in food and agriculture.
