Investment thesis
JLL Spark backs early-stage technology companies transforming the built world and commercial real estate industry. Believing real estate remains early in tech adoption despite being the largest global investor class, the firm aims to lead this transformation. It leverages JLL's more than 200 years of commercial real estate experience, its global network, distribution, and infrastructure to help portfolio companies enter new markets and scale. Beyond capital, its team of builders and growth operators provides go-to-market support, customer introductions, product feedback, and access to key stakeholders, positioning startups to achieve global scale in the PropTech and ConTech space.
