In August 2023, PowerPlant Partners rebranded as GroundForce Capital to expand its focus beyond plant-based consumer food companies. The firm now invests more broadly in food-related companies tackling pressing issues tied to human and planetary health, including those catalyzing the transition to healthier, lower carbon, and regenerative food production in sectors such as ag-tech, decarbonization, supply chain, agriculture, and low-emission manufacturing and production. The firm is currently investing out of its $330 million fund, GroundForce Growth I, which invests between $15 million and $50 million in emerging and growth-stage companies generating gross revenues of $20 million to over $100 million. GroundForce Capital's mission is to accelerate the future of health and wellness by delivering capital, operating expertise, and a powerful network to founders and operators building breakout companies. The firm aims to help these companies scale smarter, faster, and with greater impact, creating healthier lives, stronger communities, and more conscious ways of living.
