Founder and CEO, Pure Harvest Smart Farms
Focused on solutions that would help tackle sustainability challenges, private equity investor turned serial entrepreneur Kurtz launched Pure Harvest Smart Farms, a sustainable agriculture business focused on the production of greenhouse fruits and vegetables in 2016. The agritech business has boomed since then and in March, announced that it raised $60m to support regional expansion, and is soon to complete its third hybrid greenhouse growing system in the UAE. Before launching Pure Harvest, Kurtz co-founded Vence, a technology solution for livestock management. Prior to building technology companies, Kurtz invested in them.
