Before you dive in, here are some important stages of the funding process to consider, per Investopedia:
2020 was certainly a tough year for getting funded, but here is what we can learn from the numbers, put together by Crunchbase:
MycoWorks, a San Francisco-based startup which produces sustainable products and apparel, recently raised $45 million to commercialize its technology that makes a fungal-based biomaterial to replace leather. The company secured support not only from venture capitalists and fashion brands but also from celebrities, including Natalie Portman and John Legend, according to TechCrunch.
Questions and answers
To win over investors and customers, the company very clearly differentiates itself from competitors, such as Bolt Threads (mushrooms), Ananas Anam (pineapple fibers) and Desserto (cactus leather) who also aim to substitute unsustainable materials with cruelty-free ones. MycoWorks differentiator is its emphasis on the durability of the fabric.
Questions and answers
Matt Scullin, the Chief Executive Officer at MycoWorks told TechCrunch: "We've had the product tested in a huge range of different applications of various leather-based apparel to upholstery to standard leather goods like handbags and wallets. The key difference between our material and mushroom leather is that the structural component is so high." He continued: "We're confident in the material's ability to perform in a really wide range of applications so there's a wide range of uses for that."
Questions and answers
So far, MycoWorks has raised $62 million in total. The company's most current funding announcement aligned with the opening of a new production plant in Emeryville, California. The plant will take MycoWorks' capacity up to its current tens-of-thousands of feet of fungal leather replacement capacity.
