Last year, BuiltWorlds released its first-ever list highlighting venture investors within the built industry. We saw major names like Brick & Mortar, Softbank, and Autodesk, among other venture funds, accelerators, and corporate venture investors. This year, we’re providing a refresh to get a new look at those venture investors and corporate venture investors who have made significant built industry investments in 2019.
Whether you're a startup looking for investment, an industry professional wanting context around the startup market, or investors looking to peek in on your peers, scroll through our 2019 list to better understand the investors and activity of the past year.
Interested in learning more? Join us at our premier Venture Conference in Palo Alto on November 6-7 to hear from many of the investors on this list.
