Overview

Aqua Theon develops seaweed-based consumer products using proprietary agar-agar methodology to enable scaled food manufacturing of delicate red algae. Its flagship drink brand, OoMee, launched in cans in the U.S. in May 2025 with flavors such as blueberry-elderflower, strawberry-hibiscus, and peach-lemon, and later added fruit-flavored matcha variants. The company reported selling over 100,000 units in its first six months and securing listings in more than 700 stores, including Sprouts Farmers Market, Raley’s, and Bristol Farms. Misaky Tokyo, a seaweed-based crystal candy invented in September 2019, is Aqua Theon’s other consumer product line. Founder and CEO Alissa Miky launched OoMee in 2025 and has guided the company through product-market launch and fundraising. The firm emphasizes precision-based production to manage red algae’s sensitivity to temperature and marine chemistry as it scales.
