Team Size Estimates

  • Initial Phase (Year 1–2): 15–20 staff (lean, research-driven).
  • Growth Phase (Year 3–5): 35–50 staff (expanded production + more field operations).
  • Mature Phase (Year 5+): 70–100 staff (full biotech production + regional inoculation programs).

Key Principle:
Unlike traditional agarwood ventures, Crown MycoResin Biotech Inc. needs a science-heavy R&D backbone plus field service teams for farmer partnerships, making it both a biotech lab and a farm support company.
