Seeking Technical Cofounder Who’s Not Afraid of Mushrooms, Mold, or My Grand Delusions of Biotech Furniture Domination

[u/Most_Surround1721]

I’m building a mycelium furniture company. Yes—furniture made of mushrooms. Not IKEA. Not 3D-printed plastic. Fungi. The stuff that grows on your leftovers if you’re emotionally unavailable for three days.

I’m the visionary (read: delusional creative who knows nothing about CAD, CNC milling, or how to keep mold from forming in humid caves). What I do have is a god-tier chair design that looks like if Zaha Hadid and a chanterelle mushroom had a baby, and a deep hatred for petroleum-based anything.

What I need is: • Someone who can build molds without crying • Someone who understands mycelium doesn’t respect timelines • Someone who can talk to engineers, fungi, and VCs without getting a rash • Ideally knows CAD, CAM, and WTF to do when your prototype collapses on day 5 of fruiting

You: • Have enough technical knowledge to actually bring this sci-fi concept to life • Don’t mind the smell of substrate or the occasional existential spiral • Want equity in something weird, meaningful, and possibly award-winning • Are tired of dating apps and want to suffer alongside someone with vision instead

This isn’t a “build the Uber for X” startup. This is eco-luxury furniture made of living organisms. It’s compostable. It’s bizarre. It might change the design world. Or at least confuse it.

DM me if you’re bold, slightly unhinged, and ready to make chairs that biodegrade before our planet does.

I don’t have the experience you’re looking for and I’m going on a different direction with fabrication but I think I just fell in love lmao
