Fishbrain is a mobile app and social media platform made for anglers.
Its features include map-based tools, social networking, fishing forecasts including weather, lunar cycles, tidal charts, map functionality, predicted fish activity, analysis of species behavior, and suggestions on fishing gear.
History
[edit]Fishbrain was created by Jens Lindman and Johan Attby,[2] and launched in 2010 as a free mobile app,[3] and has expanded to include utility functions for recreational fishing with some of its features available for a subscription. The Fishbrain app is downloadable from the App Store and Google Play and has been made available for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.[4]
In 2019, Fishbrain added a marketplace where anglers can buy fishing gear.[5]
The platform has a user base of over 11 million users,[6] allowing users to access to a variety of data on species, migratory patterns, and more. Fishbrain has worked with governmental agencies to help identify endangered fish species and how climate is impacting behavioral patterns.[7]
Fishbrain has received multiple rounds of funding to support its expansion, including investments from venture capital firms such as B Capital, Softbank Ventures Asia, and Industrifonden. Most recently, the company raised a Series B round of $13.5 million USD in 2018.[8]
