A startup R&D company, building from the ground up.

Hypha Labs was founded to pursue original research in advanced materials and propulsion. We are at the earliest stage: lab deployment is underway and our patent portfolio is actively growing.

Research first. IP second.

Hypha Labs is a research and development startup. We are in early-stage lab deployment, currently acquiring equipment to support active research in biological materials and advanced propulsion.

As research matures, we protect each advancement through the patent process. Technologies in the portfolio are available for licensing and outright acquisition to organizations equipped to commercialize them.

Mike Mitchell

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Mike Mitchell founded Hypha Labs to build original research — not to acquire existing IP, but to create new science and protect it. He established the company with a focus on biological materials and advanced propulsion, fields where fundamental innovations remain underexplored and where defensible IP has long-term value.
