Blueprints — the built world, drawn

What we believe

The built world — construction, real estate, and infrastructure — is the backbone of the global economy.

It represents a $20 trillion market, accounts for 15% of global GDP, and employs 400 million people worldwide.

And yet, for all its scale, it remains one of the least technologically transformed industries on the planet.

That's not a failure.

It's an opportunity.

How we invest

01

Sector specialists

Since 2009, we've done one thing: back technology for the built world. Construction sites, closing tables, and control rooms are where we've spent our careers — so we recognize the workflows worth rebuilding.

02

Early stage

We lead and co-lead Seed through Series B rounds, concentrating each fund in 10–15 companies. High conviction, real ownership, and senior partner attention on every board we join.

03

Vertical AI

Computer vision, robotics, agentic systems, and the data infrastructure beneath them — applied narrowly and deeply to the industries that build, house, and power the world.

Companies

We back the teams who are rearchitecting the way the built world works.

Prudence quickly understood what we were building and why it mattered, which made our fundraising process efficient and highly collaborative. The trust we built with them well before the round carried straight through to how they've shown up post-investment.”
