Potato Impact Partners
Potato Impact Partners (PIP) is a Washington, United States-based venture capital firm dedicated to agriculture and farming, with a specific focus on seaweed innovations and regenerative aquaculture. The firm has deployed $4 million in total capital. As one of the few impact investors solely dedicated to seaweed, PIP aims to bridge the capital gap between where seaweed is produced—98% in Asia—and where funding currently flows. Led by Managing Director Sarah Wan-Yau, the firm utilizes high-conviction, catalytic capital to de-risk opportunities and unlock the sector's potential. Rather than waiting for proof of concept, PIP actively scales its portfolio companies by connecting founders with investors, industry networks, and strategic resources to build the broader seaweed ecosystem. Its portfolio includes Sea6 Energy, Cascadia Seaweed, Coast 4C, and Ocean Rainforest. These companies focus on large-scale mechanized seaweed farming, regenerative ocean farms, smallholder farmer aggregation, and processing for agricultural applications. Through these investments, PIP supports climate resilience and sustainable coastal economies.
