Can Aqua-Spark fund the future of aquaculture? | Guardian Sustainable Business | The Guardian: "“There aren’t a lot of perfect models out there,” says Amy Novogratz, who founded Aqua-Spark with her husband, Mike Velings. “If we make investment available to the ‘best in class’ companies, they will help set a bar for sustainability. And if we can help them succeed, others will follow.”
Novogratz and Velings met in 2010 aboard a National Geographic ship in the Galapagos Island, part of a five-day mini TED conference called Mission Blue. She had been director of the TED prize for nearly a decade (and is also the younger sister of Jacqueline Novogratz, founder of Acumen, an nonprofit impact investing fund). He was already a lifelong entrepreneur. They were surrounded by scientists who argued that protecting the oceans meant changing the way we catch and grow fish."
