Daniel Kurzrock co-founded ReGrained, a San Francisco company on a mission to give spent grain a new life by processing it into flour and sustainable snacks. Hear about his journey from home brewer to social entrepreneur, ReGrained’s commitment to sustainable packaging, and how his company is helping us drink our beer and eat it too with their innovative approach to reducing food waste.
Dan is the co-founder and Chief Grain Officer of ReGrained. Dan founded ReGrained out of his hobby for homebrewing beer, where he first discovered that “spent” grain could be given a delicious second life. He is now obsessed with the impact edible upcycling and closing nutrient loops can have on our food system. Dan holds an Economics degree from UCLA and a Sustainable MBA from Presidio Graduate School.
