Aquaculture investor David Tze has launched the Tze Venture Search Fund for Aquaculture Technology, which is focused on aquaculture feed technology.

“The new fund will do entrepreneurship through acquisition,” said Tze, who directed a venture fund for aquaculture, Aquacopia Ventures I.

From its first investment more than ten years ago, Aquacopia helped create a wave of  aquaculture companies--the offshore farm Open Blue, equipment innovation firm InnovaSea, and the feed ingredient technology firm and affiliated Chinese joint venture iCell/Nutrinsic. Those companies put more than $200 million in capital to work in the growing aquaculture industry sector.

Tze’s new search fund, announced during the \"F3 Fish-Free Feed Challenge\" meeting in the San Francisco Bay Area in January, will focus on innovation in the aquafeed ingredients sub-sector, seeking a single aquaculture technology to acquire, operate, and grow.
