SpawnX rebuilds for a third time and plans a mushroom showcase farm in Graz

SpawnX founder Vladimir Kaverin says the mushroom-production startup is restarting for a third time after two earlier ventures ended, including a previous Austrian company that closed after running out of liquidity. The Graz-based team plans a showcase farm and says it will soon launch a regulated crowdfunding campaign; it is currently collecting non-binding investment commitments.

  • In his post, SpawnX founder Vladimir Kaverin says he first scaled an industrial mushroom farm from 50 m² to 1,000 m² and developed technology to lower mushroom production costs.
  • He says the war forced his family to relocate, and they lost that business.
  • In 2023, the team rebuilt SpawnX in Austria, raised money and brought in investors; Kaverin says the company later ran out of liquidity and closed, citing ownership and control structure as a painful lesson.
  • SpawnX is now starting again for a third time and plans a showcase mushroom farm in Graz.
  • Kaverin says the company will soon launch a crowdfunding campaign on a regulated platform and is gathering non-binding investment commitments beforehand; he says these do not oblige people to invest later.
