Our process is designed to get researchers the resources they need quickly, with a straightforward application system. Once you apply, you’ll be paired with a dedicated team member who will walk you through the journey, from initial submission to approval. Most applications are reviewed and responded to within two weeks, allowing you to focus on your research, not bureaucracy. 

We believe fungi are the future, and at MycoDAO, we’re not afraid to support projects others might overlook. Whether you’re developing mycelium-based materials, bio-computing solutions, or discovering novel fungal health applications, we’re here to support high-risk, high-reward projects. Our independent structure means we can take bold steps toward funding visionary research that can revolutionize the fields of biotechnology, sustainability, and more—where others see risk, we see opportunity. 

From the lab bench to commercialization, MycoDAO provides more than just funding. We work closely with researchers and innovators, helping you navigate intellectual property strategies, scale your project, and connect with key industry players. Our goal is to not only fund your work but also to provide the tools and network to help your project grow and thrive. MycoDAO enables you to explore the full potential of fungi while ensuring you have the resources to succeed.
