Today's Entrepreneurs Episode 3: Atlantic Sapphire

Hi, I’m Lucca McErlane, and welcome back to the podcast. In this episode, I sit down with a leader from Atlantic Sapphire, a company rethinking how salmon is produced by moving aquaculture onto land through advanced recirculating systems. We explore how the business was built, from its core model and major cost drivers to the challenges of scaling such a capital-intensive operation. We also dive into risk—both operational and financial—and how the company has adapted through setbacks. Beyond the industry itself, this conversation offers insight into strategy, long-term growth, and what it takes to turn a complex, high-risk idea into a scalable business.
