OUR PURPOSE
Legacy industries — from construction and mining to energy, manufacturing, and logistics — sit at the edge of a transformation. A multi-trillion-dollar opportunity lies in reimagining these sectors through technology, sustainability, and bold innovation. Together, we can bridge the gap and build the resilient, intelligent infrastructure of tomorrow.
ABOUT US
Impact is our driving force
Impact drives every decision we make — not as a buzzword, but as a blueprint for building a more sustainable, intelligent, and resilient world.
As insiders from legacy sectors like construction, energy, manufacturing, and logistics, we bring deep domain expertise and strategic edge to our investments. We understand the complexities, the inertia, and the massive potential for reinvention.
Every partnership we forge is intentional. Every investment aligns with our mission: to back bold founders transforming legacy industries and shaping the world of tomorrow.

OUR APPROACH
We advise to accelerate solutions
We seek out visionary technologies built by founders committed to making better the workflows in construction and its outcome. Our Partners and Advisors have decades of experience as practitioners, entrepreneurs and investors in traditional industries. We go beyond financial support to offer strategic sector knowledge and deep industry networks to help guide, test, develop and scale. Our model benefits our startups, our fund investors and our partners.
CORPORATE PARTNERS
We help bring it to market
Our model includes Partner Organizations that help bring innovative solutions to the market faster.
We typically partner with developers, contractors, manufacturers, miners, and AE firms who believe it is part of their job to challenge the status quo and embrace innovative solutions that improve the productivity and sustainability of the built environment.
Our partnerships combine the ground-breaking technology of start-ups with the scale, capital, and distribution capabilities of their organizations - and expedite the start-up’s development processes while achieving significant technological and industry transformation.
INVESTING WITH NIRMAN
We want a better future for traditional industries
We invest at an early stage and make our team available for strategic support as founders see best. We take time to become familiar with teams prior to investment. While Seed and pre-Seed teams have limited commercial track record, success comes from seeing Founders demonstrably tapping into known and unknown client needs. They impress clients through their thinking, questioning, and speed: building an understanding and respect for the problem to solve even before an early technology solution is built or mature. Our firm’s use of technology and structure keeps our costs low. We are focused on impact, not events management, incubator setups, or media.
