Kioga Inc. is a small biotechnology research company based in Erie, Colorado, focused on investigating soil-derived microorganisms as novel nutritional and therapeutic agents. The company has received two federal research awards from the Department of Health and Human Services via the SBIR and STTR programs, including funding to evaluate a soil-derived Mycobacterium as a nutritional supplement to promote stress resilience in humans.

The company was founded in 2020 and operates as a micro-team focused on early-stage R&D rather than commercial product sales.
