Our Investment in Coral Vita’s Series A: Restoring the world’s coral reefs at scale
ARTICLE

Founded by Sam Teicher and Gator Halpern while at Yale, Coral Vita pioneered the world’s first commercial, land-based coral reef restoration farm. Drawing on the breakthrough research of Dr. David Vaughan (microfragmentation) and the late Dr. Ruth Gates (assisted evolution), the company can grow climate-resilient corals up to 50 times faster than they grow in the wild. These corals are later out-planted onto degraded reefs with survival rates of up to 90%.
