Institutional Scale
A TRILLION-DOLLAR TRANSFORMATION IN HOUSING
The global housing sector is a $300T asset class. Housing innovation sits at the intersection of fintech, builttech, insurtech, and cleantech, creating a uniquely diversified opportunity set with multiple buyer groups and clear pathways to scale and exit.
Other sectors of the built economy have gone through transformations: manufacturing went lean, energy went distributed, logistics went digital. Housing is next.
OUR FUNDS
Home Innovation Fund
OPEN TO NEW INVESTORS
The Home Innovation Fund invests in early-stage technologies across the full building value chain that address structural barriers to housing deliverability and affordability. The fund focuses on solutions that improve how homes are financed, built, and operated—backing technologies with the potential to scale, integrate into real-world housing delivery, and produce durable affordability and sustainability outcomes.
Fund I
CLOSED TO NEW INVESTORS
GroundBreak Ventures’ first fund was launched in 2019 with a focus on early-stage real estate and construction technology. The fund targeted technologies improving how and where people live and work, helping validate emerging solutions across the housing and built-environment value chain and laying the foundation for the platform’s broader system-level approach.
