@MycoWorksInc @BoF The volume of data we are now generating, combined with AI tools and the genetic work we're doing at our Innovation Center, means we're only getting better at it. We are delivering the first new biomaterial on the market at scale. There are more from @MycoWorksInc to come.

@MycoWorksInc @BoF Our first-of-its-kind plant in South Carolina is humming after a gauntlet of a few months we spent debugging it. Biology is hard, and we have now mastered one way to use it, unlocking a new type of manufacturing.

@MycoWorksInc This has been driven partly by changing values, but also "after the boom in the leather accessories market, coupled with the decline in meat consumption around the world, stretched the [$24B annual] supply of luxury-quality hides," according to @BoF.

@MycoWorksInc Now we are experiencing yet another acceleration of the inevitable shift from dispersed, "stuck" supply chains for byproduct animal hides to a flexible on-demand, automated, and local supply chain with Fine Mycelium™.

@MycoWorksInc is growing the future. We have pioneered the use of fungus (mycelium) to make products like leather. Automation is part of it; skilled craftsmanship is the other, and that combination is our recipe for making the highest-quality materials on Earth.

The materials industry was already changing rapidly prior to the current global events. In particular, the giant fashion and luxury supply chain has been in a search for both resiliency and expansion; for the materials that will fuel the next decades, not quarters, of growth.

Several years ago at @MycoWorksInc we decided to build a core competency in manufacturing, bucking the "CMO" approach in biotech. It was expensive and hard. But now, it is our strength-- and a massive moat. As a16z points out, others will follow suit.
