Singapore – January 18, 2022 – Cooley advised eFishery, an Indonesian agtech startup company, on its $90 million Series C financing round, which marks the largest fundraise by an aquaculture technology startup in the world. Partner Matthew Bartus led the Cooley team advising eFishery.

Temasek, SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Sequoia Capital India co-led the round, with participation from existing investors, including the Northstar Group, Go-Ventures, Aqua-Spark and Wavemaker Partners.
