Peppertree Capital Management, Inc. is a private equity fund that specializes in investments in communications infrastructure companies.

With a belief that the burgeoning demand for data will continue to strain wireless networks for years to come, they focus on companies that are essential to mobile phone functionality, such as those owning towers, wireless spectrum, and fiber networks.
