πŸ§ͺ Retainer Packages for Algae Innovation

Ongoing support for building algae systems, scaling bioproducts, and solving climate challenges through applied algae science and systems thinking.

Whether you're exploring an idea, testing a system, or scaling a regenerative project, we offer science-based consulting at the level of support you need.

Start with a focused Discovery Audit or a Data Analysis package to clarify direction and gather insight.
If you're ready to move forward, choose a retainer tier that aligns with your project's pace, complexity, and goals.

πŸ’‘ Not sure where to begin?
Most clients start with a Discovery Audit or one-off analysis, then step into a retainer when the project is ready for deeper engagement.
