What Mile High Labs does
Mile High Labs is a privately held, GMP-certified manufacturer of premium cannabinoid ingredients founded in 2016 by Stephen Mueller in Loveland, Colorado. The company produces CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC isolates, distillates, and water-soluble liquid and powder formulations for consumer packaged goods brands, beverage formulators, supplement manufacturers, and cosmetics companies. With manufacturing operations in Loveland, Colorado and an international headquarters and distribution hub in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mile High Labs serves 5,000+ businesses in 47+ countries, with a particular focus on regulated markets including the US, UK, EU, Japan, Australia, and South Africa.
The company's core technology is a proprietary water-soluble micro-emulsion platform that enables cannabinoids to disperse evenly in liquids for beverage and functional product applications with improved bioavailability. The product portfolio is organized into three categories: water-soluble ingredients (liquids and powders), dry isolates and distillates, and finished goods manufacturing (gummies, softgels, and tinctures) offered under white label and private label arrangements. The company has secured regulatory validations including UK FSA Novel Food validation (May 2022, RP 349), EU EFSA validation (October 2022, EFSA-Q-2021-00362), CDPHE manufacturing oversight, NSF/ANSI 173 GMP registration, FDA Food Facility registration, OK Kosher certification, and GDPR compliance, and in 2024 became one of the first firms to bring compliant CBD ingredients to Japan. The flagship CBD Isolate 2.0 product line grew 542% year-over-year, and 676 million milligrams of water-soluble CBD isolate were formulated in 2025.
Mile High Labs generates revenue through bulk sales of cannabinoid ingredients (isolates, distillates, water-soluble liquids and powders), custom formulation services for brands, and finished goods commercial manufacturing under private label agreements. Go-to-market is enterprise-led with direct field sales teams targeting major CBD brands and CPG companies in the US and EU/UK, supplemented by European distribution partners and the Belfast-based international headquarters serving UK, EU, Asia-Pacific, and African markets. Pricing is quote-based on order volume and specifications with no publicly disclosed price list, and the company has raised approximately $125 million across three funding rounds between 2018 and 2024. The company remains privately held with no evidence of institutional control beyond the founder, and serves a horizontally segmented customer base rather than relying on anchor accounts.
