OUR APPROACH

We advise to accelerate solutions

We actively seek out visionary technologies and passionate founders who are committed to reshaping construction. All our Partners and Advisors have decades of experience as practitioners, entrepreneurs and investors in Architecture, Engineering and Construction. We go beyond financial support to offer a unique model that encompasses strategic sector knowledge and deep industry networks to help guide, test, develop and scale the innovations. Our model benefits our start-ups, our fund investors and our partners.

CORPORATE PARTNERS

We help bring it to market

Our model includes Partner Organisations that help bring innovative solutions to the market faster.

We typically partner with developers, contractor, AE firms and governments 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 organisations - and expedite the start-up’s development processes while achieving significant technological and industry transformation.

INVESTING WITH NIRMAN

We want a better future for Construction

We invest at an early stage and participate in scaling investment opportunities.

Our investment partners trust us with their financial resources, and their aspirations for a better future for construction. 
Our A2I (Advise to Invest) model provides the opportunity to thoroughly vet early stage start-ups prior to investment. The advisory period gives us the ability to critically evaluate and apply our expertise to positively influence direction and outcomes.

Success is the result of our process to strategically test the startup solutions on construction sites or in making improvements to existing built environments.
Our technological, financial, and legal network keeps our costs low.
