CoConstruct AI Ventures partners with visionary founders transforming the built world through artificial intelligence. We back companies from day one.
The construction industry represents a $13 trillion global market that has been largely untouched by the software revolution. We believe AI will fundamentally reshape how the world builds.
We exclusively back companies that embed artificial intelligence into core construction workflows — from design to project management to materials procurement.
We partner with founders at the earliest stages, providing not just capital but deep operational expertise in enterprise software and construction technology.
Our team combines decades of experience in construction management with deep expertise in machine learning, enabling us to evaluate technical differentiation others miss.
We take board seats and roll up our sleeves. Our portfolio founders have direct access to our network of enterprise construction customers and industry operators.
Based in Chicago with relationships spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, we connect portfolio companies with large-scale general contractors and developers.
We structure our seed investments to give founders runway to prove product-market fit. Our follow-on reserves ensure the best performers have continued support.
We have supported some of the most impactful technology companies across enterprise software and beyond, with over $1.2 billion in combined exit value.
Early-stage investment in the real-time communication platform that reshaped public discourse and enterprise media strategy globally.
Backed the e-signature platform that became the standard for digital agreements across construction contracts, real estate, and legal industries.
Early capital in the commerce infrastructure platform that enabled millions of businesses to establish and scale their digital presence.
Chicago is the crossroads of American construction. Home to the nation's largest general contractors, architecture firms, and real estate developers, it is the perfect hub to build a construction technology firm.
Chicago is one of the top five construction markets in North America, with over $12B in annual building activity.
World-class engineering and architecture talent from University of Illinois, Northwestern, and IIT powers our portfolio companies.
Direct relationships with Chicago-based Fortune 500 construction and real estate firms accelerate enterprise sales for our portfolio.
Chicago offers exceptional engineering talent at 30-40% lower cost than coastal tech hubs, extending runway for seed-stage companies.
Construction represents 13% of global GDP yet ranks last among industries in digital adoption. The opportunity for AI-first companies is historic in scale.
The largest industry in the world by output, generating over $13 trillion annually with projected growth to $20T by 2030.
Construction spends less than 1% of revenue on technology, compared to 3-5% in financial services and 5-7% in healthcare — massive upside for software founders.
Nearly all large construction projects experience cost and schedule overruns, representing hundreds of billions in avoidable waste that AI-powered tools will address.
Construction productivity has barely moved in four decades while all other industries have improved significantly. AI represents the first credible path to breaking this cycle.
If you are building an AI-powered construction technology company and seeking a seed-stage partner, we want to hear from you.
