Zymurnaut LLC (DBA Zymurnaut Heavy Industries) is a home for a range of commercial, creative, and philanthropic projects. Some are designed to be short-lived experiments, while others aim for long-term impact. All share a focus on learning, social justice, inclusion, and curiosity.
Zymurnaut operates with an informal Impact and Risk Analysis approach, taking inspiration from B Corp principles. Projects develop their own communities, attracting both experienced professionals and people approaching topics from new perspectives.
The goal is to explore what's possible—whether in art, technology, or commercial ventures—and see where it leads...
Zymurgy is the study of fermentation—transformation at a microscopic level. "Naut" comes from exploration, evoking astronauts, aquanauts, and pioneers of the unknown. Together, Zymurnaut reflects a mindset: curiosity, experimentation, and discovery, whether at the scale of brewing, technology, or creative expression.
Zymurnaut hosts a diverse portfolio of projects spanning technology, creativity, and community building:
A series of premium beer glassware designed to showcase artists.
A makerspace/hackerspace for hands-on learning, technology, and creative exploration.
A community-driven hosting co-op focused on networking, virtualization, and AI.
A shared computing resource for AI and technical experimentation.
Event management, A/V, lighting, sound, and general insanity for select events and charity fundraisers.
A two day all-ages event tie dyeing, bleach dying, screen printing, stenciling, and heat transfer printing shirts!
An open-source sticker design project with proceeds benefiting BIPOC charities.
An investment arm primarily focused on small technology and hospitality efforts, particularly in foundational and start-up phases.
