Traditionally fermented legume biomass

Better meat starts with MycoTech

We don't ask consumers to change. We enable the meat industry to make better products, at better margins, with lower emissions.

The opportunity

The food industry needs something genuinely different

Meat producers are squeezed between rising input costs and consumers turning away from ultra-processed, soy-heavy alternatives. They need a choice that is clean, affordable, functional and scalable, without rebuilding their supply chains.

The problem

Margins across the meat industry are under sustained pressure, while first-generation plant-based products are not satisfying consumers broadly. They are often over-processed, additive-heavy and dependent on imported soy. The market is hungry for a natural, functional, cost-reducing ingredient.

Our answer

MycoTech takes legumes and gently ferments them with traditional edible fungal cultures, using solid-state fermentation to produce a clean-label bulk ingredient for 2nd-generation hybrid meat. A drop-in that fits producers' existing brands and lines.

The solution

Traditional fermentation, engineered to scale

A fermentation craft humans have trusted for centuries, re-engineered for industrial consistency, food safety and bulk supply, in a complete cycle of just two days.

1

Feedstock

Legumes as the base substrate. No imported-soy dependency.

2

Fungal fermentation

Traditional edible cultures via natural solid-state fermentation.

3

Harvest & process

A clean-label, shelf-stable biomass with no synthetic additives.

4

B2B bulk delivery

Delivered in bulk to hybrid-meat producers, ready to drop in.

The systemic fix

We solve the meat industry's most systemic challenge

The industry's hardest problem is innovation capacity: how to make better products without rebuilding supply chains or lifting costs. MycoTech drops in and unlocks it, improving industrial, human and planetary health at the same time.

Industrial health

We lift the industry's innovation capacity

  • A drop-in bulk ingredient, no new capital equipment
  • Significantly cheaper than conventional beef
  • Natural umami and kokumi for better taste
  • Clean label and improved shelf-life
Human health

Better food, without asking people to change

  • Prebiotic fibre and key minerals that meat lacks
  • Clean, recognisable, minimally processed
  • Tastier hybrid meat, not a compromise
  • No change in habits required
Planetary health

Lower impact, resilient regional supply

  • A fraction of the carbon footprint of conventional meat
  • Soy-independent, regional supply chains
  • A fast two-day production cycle
  • Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals
The market

A large European market, moving fast

Our entry point is the European minced and processed-meat market, where bulk volume, price pressure and clean-label demand converge.
