Catch of the Day

Michelle Wolf didn’t grow up anywhere near a coast, but seafood — or, more specifically, a plant-based shrimp substitute — is her life.

The Pittsburgh native, a 2014 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering with a degree in materials science and engineering, is co-founder of New Wave Foods.

Based in San Francisco, the startup is making big waves in the market — and the $9 billion-dollar shrimping industry. The vegan, kosher and environmentally friendly shrimp alternative the company produces is being used by foodservice companies throughout the country.
