Mycelium fermentation platform for B2B food ingredients; $215M+ raised, produces FermentIQ mushroom protein used by major CPG brands globally.
MycoTechnology is an Aurora, Colorado-based food technology company founded in 2013 by Alan Hahn and Pete Lubar. The company uses mycelium fermentation to transform plant proteins and other agricultural inputs into superior food ingredients, primarily FermentIQ — a mushroom-mycelium fermented pea and rice protein blend that offers improved taste, digestibility, and amino acid profile compared to standard plant proteins.\n\nMycoTechnology has raised over $215 million in venture and strategic funding from investors including Tyson Ventures, General Mills Ventures, Kellogg's, Campbell Soup, and McCain Foods. The company operates as a pure B2B ingredient supplier, licensing its fermentation technology and selling FermentIQ protein to food and beverage manufacturers globally — appearing in sports nutrition, plant-based meat alternatives, and functional food products across dozens of brands.\n\nThe company's mushroom fermentation platform also produces ClearTaste, a bitter-blocking ingredient that enables food manufacturers to reduce sugar, salt, and artificial sweeteners in processed foods. By solving taste challenges that limit the adoption of healthier ingredients, MycoTechnology addresses a critical friction point in the reformulation of packaged foods toward better nutritional profiles.
