Dan Kurzrock, Founder of Upcycled Foods Inc. Unlocking Food Waste's Potential. S.3 E.4

In this episode of Re.Vert Ventures, we sit down with Dan Kurzrock, founder of Upcycled Foods (formerly ReGrained), a pioneer turning the food upcycling movement into a thriving business.

Based in the Bay Area, Dan shares how a college beer-brewing hobby turned into a mission to give “spent grain” a second life. From dorm room experiments to scaling a purpose-driven company, his story is one of persistence, creativity, and reimagining what we call waste.

We explore his path through creative financing, evolving business models, and the broader impact of upcycling — from reducing food loss to creating value for businesses and communities alike.

It’s a powerful case study in innovation, sustainability, and finding win-win solutions at the intersection of waste and worth.
