2027 Venture & Investment

Mar 1, 2027 - Mar 31, 2027

Where

San Francisco , CA 94159

AEC Venture & Investment focuses on the capital, strategies, and partnerships shaping how innovation is funded and scaled across the built environment. The event brings together venture investors, corporate development leaders, and strategic operators to examine where capital is flowing, how investment models are evolving, and what it takes to successfully back and build high-impact companies in construction and infrastructure.

Discussions will center on venture and M&A best practices, fund and contractor collaboration, and the growing role of builders as both direct investors and limited partners. Key themes include how to develop an effective LP base, why and how corporates are allocating capital into venture funds, and how strategic LP relationships can unlock differentiated deal flow and long-term competitive advantage.

The event also creates a forum for early- and growth-stage startups to engage with both financial and strategic capital, while connecting legacy AEC firms and corporates actively pursuing acquisitions, partnerships, and platform expansion.
