Descriptiontext

EcoGen Laboratories is a vertically-integrated manufacturer and supplier of hemp-derived specialty ingredients headquartered in Grand Junction, Colorado. Founded in 2016 and operating as a private for-profit company, the firm employs 51-100 people and positions itself across the hemp ingredient value chain — from upstream feedstock through processing and downstream ingredient production — supplying B2B buyers rather than end-consumer products.

The company's product posture is centered on 'specialty' ingredients (e.g., isolates, distillates, or formulated inputs serving CPG, nutraceutical, cosmetics, or other formulation customers), which differentiates it from raw biomass commodity suppliers. Underlying technical capabilities and product SKU detail were not disclosed in the available data; the public-facing web presence returned only a loader state, and no patents, certifications, technology stack, or compliance registrations were captured.

EcoGen Laboratories raised $40,000,000 in a single disclosed funding round dated January 28, 2020; investors and lead were not identified. The company is led by co-founders Joseph Nunez and Alexis Korybut, with Korybut serving as co-founder & chief executive officer. Revenue, pricing, customer concentration, and channel information were not disclosed, leaving the commercial model largely inferred from category norms: a B2B ingredient manufacturer relying on wholesale contracts with formulation customers, with no publicly available evidence of direct-to-consumer or retail distribution.
