Quality food is a national advantage.

Legacy American food systems prioritize profit over quality, and our national health has paid the price. We believe food is not just sustenance, but a foundational input for vitality, intelligence, and long-term strength. Shinkei takes a different approach: one rooted in craft, built for scale, and designed to restore the systems that sustain us.

Our Approach

Quality is measurable and achievable at scale.
Quality is measurable and achievable at scale.

Every fish has a store of energy and freshness the moment it leaves the water. If it suffers, that energy leaks away. If it's harvested instantly, that energy is locked in.

With robotics and computer vision, we can scale artisanal practices that have proven quality outputs.

Reshoring American seafood for national vitality.
Reshoring American seafood for national vitality.

90% American seafood is imported, and a majority of that is caught in American waters, then sent overseas for untraceable processing. There, it is exposed to chemical preservatives before making it back to American dinner plates. We are reversing America’s $18B seafood deficit with a fleet of proud American fisherman.

Shinkei deploys hardware on real boats that process thousands of real fish today.

Hardware

We iterate at software speed while building hardware that survives heavy weather operations. We deploy Poseidon — our flagship product — across vessels in five US regions.

Hardware
Software

Our software stack spans onboard computer vision to fleet-wide coordination and real-time supply chain analysis. This is modern mission-oriented technology.

Vertical Integration

We’re vertically integrating to create end-to-end visibility in seafood supply chains. From deck to dinner plate, we understand when and where every fish was harvested, and how quickly it’s quality is changing.

Our Values

We hire smart, ambitious, and kind people with an exceptionally high bar for all three.

Our team brings aerospace engineering from SpaceX and Anduril, and premium brand expertise from Lululemon, Oishii, and Erewhon, and decades of commercial fishing and seafood industry experience — because excellence is our expectation.

Quality Without Compromise

Quality Without Compromise

Machines that survive salt spray and human scrutiny alike. Excellence is expectation.
Increase the GDP of the Sea

Increase the GDP of the Sea

Value creation over extraction. This isn't zero-sum: every player benefits. Fishermen earn more without chasing volume, chefs reduce waste, retailers increase margins. 
Scale the Craft

Scale the Craft

Japanese craftsmanship meets American manufacturing capacity. The artisanal ike jime technique, refined over centuries, executed by computer vision and robotics.
Build to Last, Build to Show

Build to Last, Build to Show

Supply chains that are resilient, transparent, and American-led. Real-time data from machines built to endure and systems designed to reveal.
