Suffolk Technology
Suffolk Technology is the corporate venture capital arm of Suffolk, a leading US construction company. Suffolk Technology is looking to invest in startups that drive capital efficiency and productivity in the built environment. We are interested in solutions across the building lifecycle, including real estate investment and development, architecture engineering & construction, as well as property management. We are most excited to work with founders who think big and are innovating on both business model and technology to achieve scalable impact. We are stage agnostic, with a preference for early stage; however, we have supported companies ranging from pre-product to $100M’s in revenue.
