Brandon Welch

From 2018 to 2019, after spending months on the road visiting farms and ranches across the United States, he identified a gap in agricultural finance and set out to build Mad Capital. He helped launch the platform and scale it to over $100mm in assets under management. Prior to Mad, he managed the Colorado Carbon Fund, a revolving nonprofit fund focused on driving capital into carbon removal projects in CO. He studied environmental science and mechanical engineering at the University of Vermont. Notable personal accomplishments include biking across the USA from Boston to Pacific City OR, hiking the Long Trail through VT, and touring the USA in a truck before landing in Boulder, CO where he lives with his wife Lily. Outside of the Madness, you can find him hiking in the backcountry, getting into macro-economic debates, fishing on the fly, riding his bike, cheffing it up over the grill, or reading a book.
