Summary
Rebuild Capital, a hybrid private equity and venture capital firm founded in 2025 by Jeremy Kaner, has completed three transactions in the nine months since its public debut, according to a PR Newswire press release. The firm focuses on real estate and construction technology companies, providing flexible capital through first institutional investments, recapitalizations, and financing for mergers, acquisitions and roll-ups. Its investor base includes real estate and construction owners and operators representing more than 1.5 million single-family and multifamily units, 1 billion square feet of commercial real estate and $30 billion in active construction projects.
The firm targets proptech and contech companies with real revenue and proven customer ROI that do not fit conventional funding models. According to the release, many companies raised venture capital at high valuations during the 2018 to 2023 period and now need a partner focused on profitability and realistic exits. Others are point solutions seeking to become suite solutions as customers consolidate vendors, and many are profitable, founder-bootstrapped businesses. Rebuild argues these companies fall outside the venture model, which depends on multi-billion-dollar exits that have proven rare in built-world technology, and are too small for large-cap private equity firms active in the sector.
Rebuild's portfolio includes Greenlight Rent, an end-to-end risk mitigation platform for multifamily, where Rebuild helped source and finance two acquisitions; Vero, an AI-powered screening and fraud prevention platform; and Cosign, a cosigner and lease guarantee platform built on dynamic risk underwriting, where Rebuild was the first investor. The firm says it has helped each company accelerate growth, improve operating performance and advance toward sustained profitability. It is executing on an active pipeline, with more transactions expected to be announced in late 2026 and early 2027.
Rebuild's more than 50 strategic investors include the Ezralow family, owners of Ezralow Companies and First Pointe Management Group; the Alley family, owners of general contractor VCC; real estate, construction and property management firms such as Alterra Property Group, ARCO and Rushmore Management; and PropTech investment funds including Kairos HQ, the early-stage venture fund and studio that launched Bilt Rewards. The firm is also backed by former senior executives from Blackstone's Tactical Opportunities group, Cerberus and other private equity firms. Kaner previously held senior investment roles at Olive Tree, Tishman Speyer and Picus Capital and helped found the real estate and construction technology investment banking group at Barclays. He is also a senior advisor to Kairos HQ.
