Aqua Theon has secured a $13 million seed funding round, including $5 million directly invested into its marine plant-based drink brand, OoMee.


The company aims to redefine functional beverages through marine plant innovation.


OoMee combines a “function-first” approach with satiety support and Seabiotics, making seaweed more approachable for consumers. The brand has already established a presence in over 700 retail locations and maintains a 70% repeat purchase rate online.


This milestone reflects growing consumer demand for wellness products built on real ingredients with tangible results.


The funding round was supported by investors, partners, and the wider community, underscoring confidence in Aqua Theon’s mission to bring marine nutrition to the mainstream functional beverage market.
