About The Fund

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. Founded in 2004, Peppertree actively invests out of its tenth private equity fund and an evergreen debt fund. With over $6.5 billion in assets under management and more than 170 investments in communication infrastructure companies across 14 countries, their investments are largely funded by institutional investors, including insurance companies and university endowments. They primarily target growth equity but are open to a variety of transaction types as well as investments at any level of the capital stack. Peppertree provides flexible investment sizes, ranging from a few million to several hundred million dollars, offering both financial backing and hands-on, patient partnership. Their team, led by Co-Presidents Ryan Lepene and F. Howard Mandel, has extensive operational and investment experience in the communication infrastructure space dating back to 1997. They also seek investments related to real estate that are connected to their core sectors. The company's commitment stands in investing in growing markets with a focus on the long-term evolution of communication infrastructure, thereby driving innovation and ensuring efficient global connectivity.
