Idea

Our founder, Alberto, started fishing at 5. Since then, like many other fishing enthusiasts, he tried to better understand the different species he was after to get better catches. Apart from logging information into notebooks and looking for hidden patterns, he couldn’t find a better solution.

We built WeFish to help anglers catch the dream fish by providing today’s technology applied to fishing. WeFish has an insightful catch logbook to help users better understand their catches e.g. statistical algorithms that reveal hidden insights. Our fishing activity predictor, nourished with thousands of catches, helps anglers prepare their fishing trip. As we know our users' fishing habits, when they are planning a fishing trip, we recommend fishing gear that will help them improve, providing them an e-Commerce to complete the purchase. We also provide users with a premium subscription to access additional features , free delivery and discounts.

We have 230k+ users worldwide with a 60% week over week retention rate and since May we've had 11k catches uploaded monthly. Currently we are working with some of the world's top fishing brands (Yamashita, Daiwa, Shimano, Rapala, and Hart) to bring our users the best fishing tackle. We have become the best rated fishing app in the Spanish market.

This fundraise will help us concentrate on Sales & Marketing and expansion across the EU.
