Bring the Ocean, Anywhere
Climate-resilient aquaculture, redesigned for Southeast Asian farms.
1st Place, ClimateLaunchpad Philippines 2026Thanks for going paperless with us.
Our Mission
Make fish and shrimp farming safe, simple, and profitable for Southeast Asian farmers.
GreenClaw builds modular, app-guided recirculating aquaculture systems that keep farms producing through typhoons, floods, and extreme heat.
Who we serve
Small and mid-scale operators, starting with farm businesses, cooperatives, and returning OFWs in Central Luzon.
What we build
Standardized land-based aquaculture modules, plus GreenclawHarvest, our app that guides daily farm work.
Why now
Aquaculture now supplies over half of the country's fish, in the world's most disaster-exposed nation.
Why us
An architect-systems designer and a procurement and food service co-founder. We built and ran our own pilot first, and won ClimateLaunchpad Philippines 2026.
The Problem
The country runs on farmed fish, and its farms are exposed
- 55%of Philippine fish now comes from aquaculture (PSA, 2025)
- -42,266 tdrop in aquaculture production in 2025 alone (PSA)
- #1most disaster-exposed country in the world (WorldRiskIndex 2026)
Every collapsed harvest wastes feed, stocked juveniles, and labor, not just income. In June 2026, one fish kill at Magat Dam cost farmers P120 million.
Who Farms Next?
The people who feed us are getting older
Young Filipinos are not replacing the farmers and fisherfolk who grow our food.
Farm operators by age (PSA 2022)
- 15-298.9%
- 30-4941.9%
- 50+49.3%
- +75.3%more farm operators aged 65 and up than ten years ago (2012 to 2022), the fastest-growing age group
- 1 in 3farmers lives below the poverty line (31.6%). For fisherfolk, it's about 1 in 4 (26.2%).
Farming today is a gamble: one storm can erase a year of income. Young people choose other careers.

Why It Hasn't Been Solved
RAS works, but it was built for rich countries
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) grow fish and shrimp in tanks on land, cleaning and reusing the same water, protected from storms, floods, and heat.
It already works at scale: in China, Tongwei is investing about USD 164 million in a single RAS shrimp farm.
Conventional RAS needs
- Large, industrial facilities
- Big upfront budgets
- Technicians on site
Our farms have
- Small to mid-size farms
- Thin margins
- Few RAS specialists nearby
What farms here need instead
- Affordable to start
- Simple to run day to day
- Protected from the weather
Our Answer
We redesigned RAS for Southeast Asian farms
- 1
Smaller and modular
Start with one module and grow as the farm grows.
- 2
Standardized, not custom
Set up and maintained without an engineer on site.
- 3
App-guided
GreenclawHarvest turns expert knowledge into daily guidance.
The expertise is built into the system, not hired on site.
What We're Building
One system family, from pilot to hatchery

Read the full case studyWhat Farmers Told Us
We asked before we built
15
grow-out and hatchery operators in Central Luzon
3
coastal distributors and seed brokers
6
aquaculture professionals, including SEAFDEC and BFAR
What we learned
For 85%, flexible modular pricing mattered as much as biosecurity. Lower upfront cost makes farmers more willing to try something new.
What we changed
Our base offer is now a single module. The full hub and solar power became upgrades.
"RAS has been proven far and wide on wealthy farms. It's about time the technology reached small farmers too."
Where We Are
From home-built pilot to first prototype
2024
Research and development begins.
2025
Home-built pilot validates the system, and GreenclawHarvest alpha development begins.
2026
Now- 1st Place, ClimateLaunchpad Philippines 2026. Finalist, Agri-Tech Grand Prix and Tech Planter Philippines.
- 1 invention and 4 utility model designs under DOST review for patent filing
- GCNano freshwater prototype being built
- GCNano saltwater design ready, with materials being procured
- GreenclawHarvest alpha (manual input) ready for demo
- GreenclawHarvest beta (automated input) in development
- GreenClaw100, GreenClaw Hub, and GCHatch designs in further development
What's next
- 1
Build our demonstration hub to prove the design in real conditions.
- 2
Deploy single modules with our first partner farms.
- 3
Grow into multi-module hubs, saltwater systems, and solar power.
What makes us different
Others offer custom engineering or software alone. GreenClaw combines standardized hardware, a farm app, and protected designs in one system.
