General Oceans Inc., a subsidiary of General Oceans AS, has entered into an investment agreement with ReynKo Inc., a US based turbulence solutions specialist. The SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a commitment to invest up to USD 4 million.
General Oceans AS is the parent company of multiple underwater technology brands including Oslo based Nortek, UK companies Tritech and RS Aqua, Australian Reach Robotics, and Klein Marine Systems and Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) who both operate out of the US. General Oceans has a history of successful acquisitions and investments, with a recent acquisition being ocean technology distributor, RS Aqua in 2024.
ReynKo provides engineering solutions for modelling and control of turbulent fluid flows. Their software offers an algorithmic solution to one of the greatest mysteries in physics, the turbulence problem, and will use the investment to move to a commercial offering that can be utilised across multiple industries including the Marine Industry, Aviation and Formula 1.
About the investment, Atle Lohrmann, Founder and President of General Oceans, said:
“It is genuinely mind-boggling to meet people who claim to have found a mathematical solution to the full Navier–Stokes equations. This is a scientific challenge that has occupied some of the greatest minds for nearly two centuries, and many of our colleagues in the oceanographic community will remember encountering these equations during their education—usually in the context of approximations and carefully defined boundary conditions. We believe the work they have done could fundamentally change many aspects of fluid modelling. Practically speaking, significant effort will be required to translate these mathematical expressions into a numerical toolbox that can be embedded in new or existing modelling software. We are proud to be associated with what may prove to be a historic development, and we look forward to following their journey. Who knows—perhaps in a few years we may be knocking on their door to help solve some of the many hydrodynamical challenges we find within our group companies.”
The relationship between General Oceans and ReynKo began when Atle Lohrmann mentored the founders as part of the Creative Destruction Lab programme.
“We are thrilled to be working with General Oceans as they bring deep experience and expertise from the maritime sector, which is not only one of our beachhead markets but a vital industry for the world. As a fellow scientist, Atle understands the importance and implications of solving the turbulence problem. His insights are strategically aligned with our company and working with him has been a pleasure.“ said Justin Beroz, CEO and co-founder of ReynKo.
