Founded by University of Toronto graduate and Forbes 30-under-30, Aaron Guan in 2022, Neptune Nanotech has received critical acclaim in the bio-nano material space. Their praise is attributed to their development of a cutting-edge and novel technology which converts organic fishing waste into ultra-high value nanocrystals that are stronger than steel yet lighter than plastic. These nanocrystals can then be used as an additive to increase the strength and stiffness of an underlying material. With a team of high caliber, experienced individuals, Neptune Nano believes in their vision and has the capacity to revolutionize the bio-nano material space.

July 2023 welcomed a significant and new chapter for the company, where the firm successfully closed their seed round funding with a total of $1.8 million CAD in investment!
