GAIL BECKER

Founder and CEO Caulipower

Whole Foods has this program where you can pitch a product in your region. So I dropped off four frozen pizzas. The next week I got an email from the Whole Foods buyer, who said they loved them, and were going to bring them into 30 stores. And that was how it began.

Becker’s company, which sells a line of healthy foods made from cauliflower, ranks No. 260 on the 2021 Inc. 5000, with a 1,771 percent three-year revenue growth rate.
