What We're Building

SeaBid will be a platform where premium seafood brands can:

List their products with full traceability (vessel, captain, catch method, GPS location)

Choose how to sell (timed auctions, direct sales, or private offers to trusted buyers)

Reach verified buyers in real-time with instant notifications

Get competitive pricing for quality products through transparent bidding

Focus on fishing and processing while we handle sales and logistics coordination

Built with industry input: Every feature is being co-developed with working fishing operations, processors, and premium buyers. This isn't built in a vacuum.

The Future of Seafood Trade

The seafood industry is overdue for better tools. SeaBid will simplify how seafood is bought and sold — making the process faster, more transparent, and fair for everyone involved.

  • Suppliers will list products and set their own terms
  • Buyers will access real-time listings and competitive opportunities
  • Auctions, fixed-price offers, and custom sales — all in one modern platform

FAQ

Is SeaBid live yet?
No. SeaBid is in active development with 2-3 anchor partners. We're not launching publicly until we have a platform that actually works for premium seafood operations. Our target is Q2 2026 for private beta with founding partners.
When can I start using SeaBid?
Founding partners will get beta access in Q1-Q2 2026. Broader launch is estimated for Q3-Q4 2026, but these dates depend on feedback from our early partners. We're prioritizing quality over speed.
What if I'm interested but not ready to be a founding partner?
That's perfectly fine! Submit your information through our form and we'll keep you updated on our progress. You'll be among the first to know when we open up to more users.
How can I trust you'll actually launch this?
We've already built and operated Fishlert successfully for several years. We have committed anchor partners (not just "interest"). We have a detailed technical roadmap and funding plan. Most importantly, we're being transparent about our stage — we're not pretending the platform exists.
Who can apply to partner?
Premium seafood suppliers, buyers, and logistics professionals interested in shaping the future of the U.S. seafood market.
What happens after I submit?
You'll receive a confirmation, and we'll reach out to discuss potential partnership opportunities.
Is applying as a founding partner binding?
No, applying is free and non-binding. We'll have a conversation first to see if it's a mutual fit. Founding partner terms will be formalized through a separate partnership agreement.
How will my information be used?
Your information will only be used to contact you about SeaBid early access and will not be shared.
Can SeaBid handle detailed traceability and quality data?
Absolutely. SeaBid is being built for premium seafood where traceability matters. You'll be able to display processing methods, harvest location, time from catch, handling procedures, and quality metrics. Buyers will be able to filter and search based on these attributes to find exactly what they need.
Is SeaBid only for auctions or can we do direct sales too?
Both! SeaBid will support multiple sales models: timed auctions for competitive pricing, fixed-price direct sales for regular buyers, private offers for exclusive relationships, and custom sales terms. You'll choose what works best for each product and customer relationship.
How will SeaBid work for vertically integrated brands?
If you control your supply chain from harvest to sale, SeaBid will become your complete sales and distribution platform. You'll manage inventory, set pricing strategy, maintain buyer relationships, and track everything in one place. Perfect for brands building direct relationships with restaurants and retailers.
Can SeaBid integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. SeaBid is being built with API-first architecture for easy integration with inventory management, cold storage systems, and traceability platforms. We work with your existing tech stack rather than replacing it.
