Notable Built World Venture Investment Activity – July 2020

Recently, we added our 2020 Venture Dashboard to the suite of tools we offer our members to help them understand investors, investments being made, start ups looking for investment, exits, and more in the Buildings & Infrastructure venture sector.  While these resources are reserved for members, for our broader community, each month we’ll look to break down notable investments made in the sector. There continues to be significant activity across a variety of themes, suggesting a continuing maturing of the sector and more choices and more robust solutions for the industry in the months to come.

In terms of specific topic sectors, in July we saw investment made into areas like Building Systems, Drones, Image Capture, Building Operations & Maintenance, AI/Machine Learning, Scheduling, Analytics, E-Commerce, & Collaboration Tools.  Explore below for a summary of total YTD Investment Activity, a July recap of deals by funding round, and the specific raise and investor information for the built industry venture investments from July.
