Background
Jeremy TenBroek is CIO of The Arthur Companies, a family-owned agribusiness founded in 1906 and based in North Dakota. The company says it operates across grain, agronomy, ingredients, trading, and related agricultural services, and positions itself as an independent alternative in consolidating agricultural markets.
Before joining The Arthur Companies, TenBroek was Technology Director at Arthur Ventures. Arthur Ventures is an early-growth capital firm focused on B2B software companies; its current website says it manages about $2 billion in assets and has more than 60 active companies.
Earlier in his career, TenBroek spent more than nine years at Microsoft in technology and leadership roles. The Org lists his Microsoft roles as Escalation Manager and Technical Advisor and Senior Support Engineer, and also lists an earlier Senior Technician role at UPS.
TenBroek grew up on a ranch in south-central North Dakota and holds a degree in Management Information Systems from North Dakota State University. In a 2026 Bushel customer story, he is quoted on The Arthur Companies’ technology adoption: “We use Bushel to get information into the hands of our customers and it allows us to do business more efficiently.”
Investment Thesis & Focus
- TenBroek is not publicly listed as a current member of the Arthur Ventures investment team; public sources support a current CIO role at The Arthur Companies and a prior Technology Director role at Arthur Ventures.
- The Arthur Companies’ venture platform says it backs ideas that solve “real problems in agriculture, logistics, and finance,” with a preference for tools that help growers farm smarter or help ag businesses operate more smoothly.
- The Arthur Companies states that it invests differently because it is a family-owned operating company rather than a fund-cycle-driven venture firm: it looks for long-term value and situations where its operating experience, reach, and reputation can help beyond capital.
- Arthur Ventures’ current focus is early-growth capital for B2B software companies. Its 2025 fund announcement says its sixth core fund renewed its commitment to being the “first institutional capital partner” to B2B software companies in North America.
- Arthur Ventures’ public positioning emphasizes early-stage, B2B, global software companies, especially companies outside Silicon Valley.
