Peak Ridge Capital has launched what it said is the first private equity fund to focus exclusively on agricultural and clean technologies in Wisconsin.
“The AgTech Fund is poised to be one of the nation’s largest private equity funds focusing exclusively on agricultural technologies,” Peak Ridge President Jason Smith said in a statement.
(The fund’s board of advisers includes Dr. Molly Jahn, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at UW-Madison and Hector DeLuca, famed UW-Madison Steenbock Research Professor)
