At Altitude we support the growth and commercialization of early stage startups.
We want to celebrate one company, MyCoFutures, and its founders, Stephanie Lipp and Leo Gillis. MyCo Futures is a materials innovation startup now based in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 2021, MycoFutures specializes in developing a sustainable, mycelium-based leather alternative for the fashion industry. Stephanie and Leo transitioned from running a gourmet mushroom farm to leading this biotechnology venture.
The company's product, Myco™, is a circular and organic material grown from the root system of fungi, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional leather and synthetic materials.
Today the company has been operational for approximately five years and has realized increased visibility in the cleantech and sustainable materials sectors.
We are excited to welcome Stephanie Lipp and Leo Gillis to talk about their journey from their roots to entrepreneurship, establishing a gourmet mushroom and their pivot to the clean tech space.
