  • Timing: The politics are right, the products are ready; and the market is enormous.
  • Time: The need is great. Our fish passage solutions enable a faster transition to clean energy, a necessity for our future and the fish that live in our planets waters.
  • AI Advantage: We are years ahead in the use of AI derived algorithms for Fish Species Recognition and selective fish passage sorting. We can become the de facto standard.
  • Cash: We are already producing revenue today, and are raising capital to grow the business, not just start one.
  • Commitment: Nearly every country in the world has pledged huge reductions in its CO2 emissions. History making dollars have already been appropriated for fish passage projects over the next 10 years to assure hydropower plays a central role in our future.

Our Mission:

SAVE THE FISH

We deploy novel products designed and developed to improve fish welfare, fish passage and spawning success.

FEED THE PLANET

By passing fish over barriers and improving native fish numbers, our products help provide critical nutrients for the planet’s ecosystems and are the number one protein for the people on it.

GROW CLEAN ENERGY

By enabling more efficient use of our water resources, we enable the growth of hydropower and all clean renewable energy.

HEAL THE ENVIRONMENT

Reducing CO2 emissions as quickly as possible, cools the planet, its waters, and the fish politics.

Problem:

The are more than one million dams in the world. Most of these dams do not have any fish passage. Migrating fish species are threatened with extinction. The rules and the climate have changed. To continue operating a hydropower dam, or to build a new dam, installation of a viable fish passage solution is usually required.

Solution

We have developed award winning core technologies and created new product categories, using modular designs, so that we can offer fish passage and monitoring solutions that are best suited to the fish and the river while substantially reducing the time and cost to deploy.

"The fish pass through without so much as a scratch. Also, you won’t have to divert water, as you do in a ladder system. Out here, the economy is all about agriculture, and water is gold. That’s what makes Whooshh such a great concept.​"

Mark Johnston – Yakama Nation Fisheries Biologist

Our systems assist native fish to pass over dams in seconds to reclaim access to their spawning grounds. This means fish expend far less energy, experience less stress, and are therefore reaching cleaner, safer, water and spawning habitat, with fewer pre-spawning mortalities.

We also do not require concrete infrastructure or any extra, unnecessary use of water or impose a permanent environmental footprint.

Our gentle handling of fish without producing waste water, reduces injuries, mortalities, and stress – overall improving survivability, fecundity, and ultimately our product value.

Passage Portal™
Fishl Recognition™
Our Passage Portal™ products permit fish to swim in on their own, and the automated FishL Recognition™ system selectively sorts the fish before they glide through our Migrator™ tubes, regardless of geography, height of obstacle, water temperatures or changing water levels, …. all in less than a minute.
We have integrated scanning, sorting and invasive species removal features in order to enable selective fish passage. This way, we never stop collecting images and data and learning about the local habitat – and the fish who call it home.

After many pilot programs and studies, and more than a million fish that have used our systems around the world, we are ready to scale up and speed up deployments while the transition to a clean electric grid accelerates.

The maximum capacity of one Passage Portal™ is 40 fish per minute or 57,600 fish per day, more than many rivers see in an entire year. In short, we enable fish to glide over barriers without stress or injury, all in a flexible, misted, temperature-controlled Migrator tube. Fish float over land or infrastructure barriers from point A to Point B in seconds, without requiring huge amounts of water and power as is often required for traditional systems.

Regulation CF FAQ:​

Anyone can invest in a Regulation Crowdfunding offering. Because of the risks involved with this type of investing, however, you may be limited in how much you can invest during any 12-month period in these transactions. If you are an accredited investor (see definition below), then there are no limits on how much you can invest. For Non-Accredited Investors (most fall into this category) the limitation on how much you can invest depends on your net worth and annual income. If either your annual income or your net worth is less than $124,000, then during any 12-month period, you can invest up to the greater of either $2,500 or 5% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. If both your annual income and your net worth are equal to or more than $124,000, then during any 12-month period, you can invest up to 10% of annual income or net worth, whichever is greater, but not to exceed $124,000.

An accredited investor, in the context of a natural person, includes anyone who:

  • earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year, OR
  • has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse or spousal equivalent (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence), OR
  • holds in good standing a Series 7, 65 or 82 license.
  • After you review the offering statement and information and decide you’d like to invest and how much, you complete the application with the requested information and electronically sign the documentation.
  • Andes Capital, the Broker Dealer, reviews the information for Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer type reviews
    • If you pass the review, Andes Capital initiates the funds via ACH or Credit Card (or you send the wire or check if applicable)
    • If you don’t pass the review, Andes Capital or the Issuer will reach out to you to update information to clear you for the reviews or otherwise
  • Once the funds have been cleared by the escrow agent (funds go directly there), Andes Capital will match your funds with your cleared application for investment, and issue you the stock by validating the subscription agreement and notifying the Transfer Agent to record your ownership on the Issuers capitalization table.
The timeline is generally 2 to 4 weeks but can always happen sooner. It all depends on the information you provide and if there are issues, how quickly we hear back from you.
  • If we bump up against any “hits” on our reviews, we are required to clear each one of those potential conflicts to evidence there are no issues.
  • If the information provided is not correct or is incomplete, we will need to reach out and get this corrected.
  • Even though funds are initiated or you see them pending in your funding source, this does not mean they are in the escrow account for the offering. Based on the payment rails available in the US, these funds may not appear in escrow for 1-2 days and then they have to sit there for a few days until the escrow agent is satisfied there doesn’t appear to be any issues
  • Matching of payments to approved applications happens in batches, so while all ready to be closed, your application may be in the next batch.

Andes Capital Group is the FINRA/SEC registered Broker Dealer who has been engaged by the Issuer to act as the Onboarding Agent for this offering.

  • Andes Capital Group is NOT soliciting this investment nor making any recommendations by collecting, reviewing and processing your application for investment.
  • Andes Capital Group conducts Anti-Money Laundering, Identity and Bad Actor Disqualification reviews of the Issuer, and ensures they are a registered business in good standing.
  • Andes Capital Group is NOT validating or approving the information provided by the Issuer or the Issuer itself.
  • Contact information is provided for applicants to make inquiries and requests of Andes Capital Group regarding the general application process, the status of the application or general Reg CF regulation related information. Andes Capital Group may direct applicants to specific sections of the Offering Statement to locate information or answers to their inquiry but does not opine or provide guidance on Issuer related matters.

Andes Capital Group is compensated by the Issuer for providing its Broker Dealer Onboarding Agent services as disclosed in the Offering Statement. Andes Capital Group does NOT charge the applying investor any fees whatsoever.

There is NO cost, charge or no annual fees etc. for this account whatsoever.

As you are buying a security regulated by the SEC, and as a Broker Dealer we are required by SEC regulations to reasonably ensure Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer reviews are satisfied and that Permitted Investor Limits are not breached, we collect this information to perform the required reviews. Andes Capital Group may share certain details of an applying/completed investor as listed on the subscription agreement, with the Transfer Agent and Escrow Agent if requested for valid purposes of processing an investment application.
