PeakBridge
PeakBridge is a global food and nutrition technology venture-capital fund, based in Malta and part of the Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity partnership. It backs agri-foodtech companies from early stage to Series B. Its water exposure is narrow: the Leviathan database tracks one water company it backs, the Swiss sustainable-water brand BE WTR.

The take
PeakBridge is a food fund that happens to hold a single water company, and that is the first thing a newcomer to water should know about it. Two food-industry insiders started PeakBridge in 2018: Erich Sieber, who had run Nestle's strategic venture arm since 2001, and Nadav Berger, a third-generation food industrialist who built one of the earliest dedicated FoodTech seed funds, FoodLab Capital, in Israel. They run it out of Valletta, Malta, as part of the Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity partnership, with a team scattered across about seven countries.
PeakBridge invests from early stage through Series A and B, the rounds where a company already has a product and needs capital to scale, and its 2024 vehicle, Growth Fund II, closed at $187 million and pushed the firm past $250 million under management. Water reaches that portfolio through one company, not a thesis: BE WTR, a Swiss certified B-Corp that filters and bottles still and sparkling water on site, in glass, as a sustainable alternative to trucking bottled water around. PeakBridge has supported it across three tracked funding rounds. It is a food-and-beverage bet that happens to be about water, which is exactly how its single water name should be read.
PeakBridge is, for someone new to water investing, a useful edge case rather than a destination. PeakBridge is a reminder that water often shows up inside food and beverage portfolios first, in companies attacking single-use plastic and the cost of moving water, long before it surfaces in a dedicated water fund. PeakBridge tracks one such company today; whether it backs more will follow from where its food-system thesis next touches water, not from any water mandate of its own.

Frequently asked
- What does PeakBridge invest in?
- PeakBridge invests in agri-foodtech and nutrition technology, backing companies from early stage to Series B across ingredients innovation, alternative protein, food digitalization, nutrition and health, and new farming systems. It is a food-systems fund first; water enters its portfolio only through food-and-beverage companies such as Swiss sustainable-water brand BE WTR.
- Who runs PeakBridge?
- PeakBridge was founded in 2018 and is led by two founding general partners: Erich Sieber, who previously ran Nestle's strategic venture fund, and Nadav Berger, a third-generation food industrialist behind the early FoodTech seed fund FoodLab Capital. The wider investment team spans about seven countries, anchored in Malta.
- Where is PeakBridge based and how big is it?
- PeakBridge is headquartered in Valletta, Malta, where it is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority, and its team works across roughly seven countries. It manages more than $250 million, having closed its second vehicle, Growth Fund II, at $187 million in 2024 with Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity.
- Is PeakBridge a water investor?
- PeakBridge is a food and nutrition technology fund, not a water specialist. Water appears in its portfolio through a single company, the Swiss sustainable-water brand BE WTR, rather than a dedicated water thesis. The Leviathan database tracks that one water holding, backed across three funding rounds, with its most recent water deal in 2024.
- What is PeakBridge FoodSparks?
- FoodSparks is PeakBridge's seed-stage program, launched with EIT Food to back very early agri-foodtech startups, and led by managing partner Yoni Glickman. It sits alongside PeakBridge's larger Growth funds, which invest at Series A and B, so both names describe one firm investing at different stages.
