About 1945 Capital

1945 Capital is a privately held investment office and the investment vehicle of Johnsonville Holdings, making direct venture and growth equity investments. Its base is Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin. The firm backs companies in agriculture, food, life sciences, and technology, from the research stage through growth, and it reports a portfolio of nearly 50 companies. A small senior team that includes named principals runs the firm. 1945 Capital was set up as an investment entity in the late 2010s and is organized around direct company investments, not a traditional commingled real estate fund. It is affiliated with Johnsonville Holdings, which has decades of operating experience in food production and agricultural technology. That background gives founders and managers building companies in ag/food and adjacent life-science and tech verticals access to sector expertise and corporate connectivity.
