About us

Industry leaders on your side.

Construct Venture was founded in 2018 by AF Gruppen and OBOS, two of Norway’s leading companies in construction, infrastructure and real estate.

We know the industry, its acronyms and how projects really run. We put all of it to work for founders in ConTech and PropTech, and we aim to move at the same speed as the startups we back.

Meet the team
What we bring

More than capital.

We take an active role in scaling our portfolio companies. Our goal is to be the preferred partner for early-stage tech startups in ConTech and PropTech.

01

Smart capital

We can lead, and we are happy to follow. As an active investor we normally ask for a board seat or an observer role. We never ask for exclusivity or special treatment.

02

Projects to test on

Through our partners, founders get access to real projects to test technology and trial concepts at scale.

03

The whole value chain

Our partners cover everything from planning and design, via construction, to management, operations and maintenance.

What we look for

Innovative solutions, exceptional teams.

We are not limited by geography but focus on the Nordics, and on startups elsewhere that see potential in working with Nordic players.

01

Early stage

Companies in early commercialisation, with a product in its final testing phase and a clear customer base.

02

Initial traction

Ideally some traction already: pilots, paying customers or other clear interest.

03

Strong team

Committed founders with complementary skills and the drive to build a leading global company.

04

Scalable business model

A market big enough to scale the business relatively quickly.

05

Room to add value

Relevance for our partners, so our network and domain knowledge can help you succeed.

06

Exit potential

As a financial investor, we also look for the potential for an attractive return.
