MycoStories is the leading global platform connecting founders, investors, industry leaders, and researchers in fungi-based biotechnology. With 80,000+ subscribers, 100+ industry experts, and reaching 1 million people monthly, we're at the centre of the rapidly growing bioeconomy, spanning sustainable materials, alternative proteins, agriculture, and life sciences.
MycoInvest is our investment services arm, led by Guy de Nicolay (Head of MycoInvest). We act as a placement agent, matching high-potential fungi-focused startups with aligned investors, VCs, family offices, angels, corporate ventures, and impact funds committed to regenerative, nature-based solutions. We also offer scouting packages to investors seeking curated dealflow and market intelligence.
We're expanding MycoInvest from its European base to cover three additional regions globally. We're looking for driven individuals to build investor relationships in their regions and connect them with our curated startup pipeline.
This is a commission-only role suited to someone who already operates in the investment or startup ecosystem, has strong networks, and wants to add fungi-biotech dealflow to their portfolio without a full-time commitment.
