Seabound

Climate Tech·Seed

Seabound was founded in late 2021 by Alisha Fredriksson and Roujia Wen, who met while studying at Minerva University. Fredriksson, a Swedish-Canadian climate entrepreneur, previously built Liquid Wind, a maritime e-fuel startup. Wen, a Chinese engineer with expertise in mathematics and theoretical physics from Cambridge, leads technology and systems development. The company developed a compact, retrofittable system that captures CO2 from ship exhaust and converts it into solid carbonate pellets for offloading at ports. Seabound completed its first full-scale maritime carbon capture units in February 2026 and has won the UK Government's Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition twice. The company secured a €1.5M European Space Agency award and has raised $6.8M in seed funding from YCombinator, Lowercarbon Capital, EMLES Venture Partners, and strategic investors Eastern Pacific Shipping and Lomar.
