Investment thesis
The firm invests in founders addressing the construction and real estate sectors' most pressing challenges, including climate change mitigation, labor and housing shortages, and improving how the built environment is designed, built, and maintained. Despite the $300 trillion scale and significant annual spending in real estate and construction, these industries have historically lacked technological innovation. The firm's thesis focuses on backing companies that leverage technology to revolutionize the physical world.
