Hypha's Mitosis
While there have been many preliminary discussions within and outside of Hypha to create a new Samara organization, the actual incubation happened through a unique process that is not unlike mitosis in biology. As many readers will undoubtedly recall from their biology classes in high school, Mitosis is a process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells. Hypha has created a "Samara Incubator Quest" (pictured below) that provided some initial funding (in HUSD) to launch an independent new entity called the Samara DHO. The idea is to design this as a symbiotic relationships - both parties learn from each other and reap benefits in the future. The immediate benefit for Samara is receiving funds and knowledge (sowing seeds) and the long-term benefit for Hypha is to expand the network and gain a share in Samara's value creation. In other words, this is not a "one-sided deal" where one party usually exploits another party (knowingly or unknowingly) - we want both parties to succeed and thrive, growing further roots outside of Hypha and setting the stage for the next wave of mitoses.
