About

Prairie Crest Capital is a Midwest-based venture capital firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. The firm focuses on early-stage investments, particularly in the agriculture technology (AgTech) and breakthrough technology sectors. Prairie Crest Capital is dedicated to fostering innovation that has the potential to transform traditional industries, especially those critical to the Midwest, such as agriculture. The firm’s investment strategy is centered around identifying and supporting startups that are poised to make a significant impact in their fields. By providing not just capital but also strategic guidance and access to a broad network, Prairie Crest Capital helps these companies scale and navigate the challenges of growth. They typically invest at the seed and Series A stages, with a keen interest in companies that have demonstrated proof of concept or are ready to move from beta to full-scale operations. The founding partners, Barry Adams and Mark White, bring extensive experience in finance, private equity, and entrepreneurial ventures, which they leverage to help their portfolio companies succeed. Their approach is particularly focused on "connected capital," emphasizing the importance of providing not only financial support but also the necessary connections for technology development, talent acquisition, and access to later-stage investors. Prairie Crest Capital is part of a broader effort to address the venture capital gap in the Midwest, aiming to provide the resources and expertise necessary for startups in the region to thrive and compete on a global scale.
