Rosalie Akerman

I am co-founder and CEO of NETS23D: a new circular blue-economy manufacturer of 3D printed modular on water structures, using fishing nets as the feedstock for our 3D printable compounds. What was IN the water becomes houses ON the water.
Currently raising Seed funding.

Previously started and successfully scaled a manufacturing business, growing it 30% year on year (with social responsibility and sustainability), during major market downturn and complete restart post fire. Prevented about 400Tons of industrial polymer byproduct from going to landfill monthly.
We know how to build a Circular ethically directed sustainable manufacturing business.

Put myself through University to graduate Bachelor of Architecture Cum Laude, and worked in an Architectural practice. Before that I taught Engineering Graphics & Design (TD), and straight out of school I painted murals.

Established a distribution business with Sydney based directors, to distribute Firestone Building Products (waterproofing and linings) into the Oceania Region —- remotely from South Africa.

I am a strategist, and to me change = the opportunity for challenge + innovation
I see my skillset and experience as a bridging combination between Architecture, Recycling, AM and Technical product Manufacture.
