Abhi Ramesh is the Founder & CEO of Misfits Market, a direct-to-consumer produce company that makes healthy eating easy and affordable through a subscription box of misfit produce. A seasoned operator in the startup world, Ramesh has led Misfits Market since its inception to become one of the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer subscription companies in the U.S. His experience scaling useful consumer goods and services has allowed Misfits Market to pioneer a more affordable and sustainable grocery model that lowers barriers to access and creates opportunities from inefficiencies in the food supply chain.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and The Wharton School of Business, Ramesh joined Apollo Global Management in New York City as a private equity investor. His focus on the firm’s middle market technology investing platform exposed him to a variety of sectors, including education and food supply and the shortcomings that plagued both. Seeing a need for a platform that bridged the gap between a traditional college education and the real world of technology, Ramesh launched the Horizons School of Technology. This social entrepreneurship endeavor made its acclaimed software engineering program more accessible to people with non-traditional backgrounds.
Following Horizons’ success, Ramesh called back to the inefficiencies he witnessed in the transportation and food supply systems and developed the Misfits Market model. The company launched its delivery business in Philadelphia in September 2018, and within just over a year expanded to tens of thousands of customers on the Eastern Seaboard. Today, he leads Misfits Market’s 1300+ team members in its Greater Philadelphia-based headquarters, its Salt Lake City and Dallas fulfillment centers, and its NYC satellite office. He has overseen the company’s 5x growth amid the COVID-19 crisis and expansion to 44 states as of late 2021. Ramesh was an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2021 Greater Philadelphia award winner, was named to the 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 list, was honored as one of Philadelphia Business Journal's 2019 Minority Business Leaders, and was the recipient of the 2020 Smart Cities Champion Award from TechUnited:NJ.
Joan Salwen is the CEO of Blue Ocean Barns, which produces the natural feed supplement Brominata, a protein-rich red seaweed for cows that eliminates 80% of their methane-burp emissions. Blue Ocean Barns's customers are food corporations that believe such a climate solution is critical to the attainment of their bold Science Based Target Initiative goals. Those corporations depend on large supplies of beef or dairy in their supply chains to produce consumer products. In nearly every case, the largest source of these companies’ GHG emissions, and the source most difficult to reduce, is burped methane. Joan previously founded Elm Innovations, a nonprofit platform exploring the seaweed-livestock connection, and then co-founded Blue Ocean Barns as the commercial engine for it. Prior to this, Salwen was a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University, where she built a team that energized university, market, and government interest in red seaweed as a solution to climate change. Raised in Iowa in the shadow of her family farm, she was for 20 years a managing director at Accenture, leading the Atlanta office of organization and change strategy, and she helped found Atlanta Girls’ School, where she taught and served as head of school.
