How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
The 2,500 shellfish farmers in North America sell 90% of their product to restaurants. Thus their businesses have been largely shutdown. In response, we have waived our fees for at least the next 2 months. As these businesses begin to reopen, we are working with them to plan their inventory and sales so they can be ready for what will hopefully be a resurgent demand.
Does your business contribute most to recovery, response, or resilience?
Resilience - we're improving the broader infrastructure for responding to pandemic outbreaks.,Recovery - we're positioned to support in the recovery of those directly affected.,Response - we're responding directly to issues caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak.
What is the stage of your product development?
