SAN FRANCISCO & LOS ANGELES--()--GroundForce Capital, an investment management firm that backs high-potential companies seeking to improve the health and longevity of people and the planet, announced the promotion of Graham Garzon to Senior Associate on the Investment Team.

In August 2023, GroundForce Capital strategically rebranded to expand its reach and invest more broadly in food-related companies tackling the most pressing issues tied to human and planetary health. This includes companies 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.

Mr. Garzon plays a pivotal role in identifying and evaluating new investment opportunities, in addition to providing support to GroundForce Capital’s portfolio companies. Dan Gluck, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of GroundForce Capital said, “Graham’s elevation from Associate to Senior Associate within our deal team is a clear reflection of his invaluable contributions and significant development as an investor, underscoring his role in our firm’s success.”

Mr. Garzon brings five years of investment banking and private equity experience to the team. Since joining GroundForce Capital in 2022, he has been instrumental in sourcing and spearheading the due diligence process for several deals. Additionally, he has collaborated closely with GroundForce Capital’s Managing Partners on portfolio company fundraises and execution.

Graham has been an outstanding asset to our firm. We are excited by his ongoing development and the positive impact he will continue to bring to both our firm and our portfolio companies,” said Mark Rampolla, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of GroundForce Capital.
