BuiltUp Ventures

BuiltUp Ventures (BUV) is a seed-stage investment fund focused exclusively on property technology, construction technology, and smart city innovations. Founded in 2019 and based in Brooklyn, New York, with offices in Bnei Brak, Israel and Dubai, the firm operates at the intersection of two of the largest and most capital-intensive industries in the world — real estate and construction — where technology adoption has historically lagged. The fund size is under $5 million, and BUV leads rounds, backing early-revenue companies with checks typically ranging from pre-seed through seed. The portfolio spans 16 companies across enterprise proptech applications, construction software, vertical SaaS, and hardware. One notable exit: Everflow, acquired by Pegasystems in June 2022. The firm operates across the United States, Israel, and the MENA region, a geographic footprint that reflects its co-founding team's connections across those markets and the significant proptech activity emerging from the Israeli startup ecosystem. BuiltUp Ventures focuses specifically on companies building solutions for the built environment — property management, construction process automation, and urban infrastructure — at the stage before institutional capital is typically available. The firm's value proposition centers on founder-friendly seed capital paired with domain expertise in real estate and construction markets, where commercial relationships and regulatory knowledge meaningfully reduce a startup's time to first enterprise customer.
