Olivia PageCo Founder

Portugal - Lisbon, Lisbon

Co-Founder & CEO of Mykor, the first company to scale mycelium into high-performance construction systems. A new category of regenerative construction materials—where cost, performance, human health, and climate resilience align at scale.

When I worked in architecture, I discovered that over 92% of construction products harm people and/or the planet... and there were no scalable, affordable alternatives. So, in 2022, we founded Mykor, to address this core market failure. In just three years, we’ve developed a biotechnology platform to enable general contractors to transition to the bio-manufacturing era. One of our products includes MykoSIP™ acoustic wall systems:

180% reduction in embodied carbon
2x sound insulation performance
10% cheaper for clients, while doubling margins

This has secured $500M in Offtake agreements with leading European contractors as we scale production from our Portuguese pilot plant to factories globally.

Having worked with bio-based construction for over a decade, past projects include Portugal’s first large-scale hempcrete residential developments, hempcrete block production, and developing bio-based interior tiles for LVMH.

Mycelium doesn’t separate itself from its network; it thrives because it belongs. Humans are no different. When we stop separating ourselves from nature, we begin to design futures that are not only possible but profoundly livable: socially, economically, and environmentally.
