Nick Durham, General Partner at Shadow Ventures sat down with our team at the 2023 Buildings Conference to talk about what he’s seeing take place in the ecosystem through an investor lens and what lays ahead for Shadow Ventures in the next year.
Durham explains that there has been a recent slowing of funding across the build ecosystem and that has made finding opportunities within the build space more challenging but it’s also helped to focus on great opportunities when they are found.
Durham says that he’s excited about the rise of AI technologies and how those can be implemented into the built ecosystem in a lot of different ways. Durham continues to say that this not only helps contracting companies but has also been incredibly useful within the venture space as well as now his team can sift through larger sets of data quicker and that allows them to make more informed decisions.
Another area within the ecosystem that Durham is focused is on workforce technology and how to bridge the gap between the current workforce and the shortage that we face as the baby boomer generation slowly start to phase out of the workforce and into retirement.
