Revolution Foods PBC

Overview

Revolution Foods PBC was founded in 2006 by Kristin Richmond and Kirsten Saenz Tobey, two MBA graduates from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. The company was established as a public benefit corporation, legally committing to social impact alongside profit — a rare structure among food-service firms. The firm's primary business is preparing and distributing meals to more than 1,000 schools across multiple US states, including California, Colorado, and New Jersey. It supplies breakfast, lunch, and snack programs, often through contracts with individual districts. Revolution Foods operates its own commissary kitchens and delivery fleet, keeping production in-house. The company has raised venture capital from investors like Catamount, Carrot Capital, and NEA. Recent financial filings indicate the company has focused on expanding its K-12 footprint and improving operational margins, though specific financial details are not publicly available. The company has not disclosed its employee count or revenue publicly, and no founding-year confirmation is available from a named source. It maintains a single US headquarters, though the precise city is not specified in public materials. Revolution Foods' structural differentiator is its PBC charter: the company is required by its corporate bylaws to pursue a positive social mission — in this case, improving child nutrition — which distinguishes it from traditional food contractors that prioritize profit maximization. This mandate shapes menu decisions, sourcing policies, and pricing structures.
