Realyze Ventures, one of Europe’s leading venture capital platforms driving sustainable transformation in the real estate, construction, and skilled trades sectors, has successfully completed the first closing of its fund. Assets under management now total approximately EUR 50 million.
The fund is supported by an exclusive network of industry players, institutional capital, and entrepreneurial families. Investors include Art-Invest Real Estate, Cordes & Graefe KG, Goldbeck, MOMENI, ZECH, as well as several renowned family offices – complemented by an institutional investor from the European banking sector.
“It is not about niche investments, but profound transformation,” says Fabian Lenz, Managing Director at Goldbeck. “The building sector, construction industry, and skilled trades play a decisive role in shaping Europe’s climate performance and global competitiveness. That’s exactly the focus of Realyze Ventures, and we are pleased to be part of it.”
“We don’t just see technologies on pitch decks – we test them directly in reality,” says David Nadge, General Partner at Realyze Ventures. “This approach enables faster, better-informed decisions, providing startups direct and accelerated access to capital, expertise, and relevant markets.”
The General Partners Tim Fischer, Manfred Heid, Stefan Läufer, David Nadge, and Kai Panitzki have collectively completed more than 40 investments and currently manage venture capital exceeding EUR 120 million. Following the successful development of their ecosystems at BitStone Capital and MOMENI Ventures, they now jointly build Realyze Ventures, curating a unique ecosystem of investors, innovators, and network integrators.
“We combine strategic capital with operational execution capability, creating a venture capital platform that attracts startups as well as institutional investors,” adds Manfred Heid. “With this closing, we lay the foundation for an ecosystem set to sustainably transform Europe’s construction and real estate sectors.”

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.
BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.
“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”
BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.
“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”
Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
