Summary
Rebuild Capital, founded in 2025 by Jeremy Kaner, has completed three transactions in the nine months since its public debut, according to a company press release distributed via PRNewswire on November 10, 2026. The firm describes itself as an opportunistic investment firm focused on real estate and construction technology, providing flexible capital through recapitalizations, acquisition and merger financings, roll-up financings and first institutional investments in profitable, bootstrapped businesses.
Rebuild positions its strategy around a funding gap it sees between venture capital and private equity. According to the release, many proptech and contech companies raised venture capital at high valuations during the 2018 to 2023 cycle and now need a partner focused on profitability and realistic exits. The firm argues that the venture model, which depends on multi-billion-dollar exits that have proven rare in built-world technology, does not suit these companies, while large-cap private equity firms are generally too large for them. Rebuild works hands-on with management teams alongside its strategic investors to drive profitability and position companies for near-term exits.
The firm's portfolio includes Greenlight Rent, an end-to-end risk mitigation platform for multifamily housing, 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 release states that Rebuild has helped each company accelerate growth and improve operating performance. Kaner said in the release, "We fill a growing funding gap for proven real estate and construction technology companies that need a capital partner for creative transactions, one that also brings customers and operational insight."
Rebuild's investor base spans more than 50 strategic investors, including the Ezralow family (Ezralow Companies and First Pointe Management Group), the Alley family (general contractor VCC), Alterra Property Group, ARCO, Rushmore Management and 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. The company states that its investors include 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. 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.
The firm says it is executing on an active pipeline, with additional transactions expected to be announced in late 2026 and early 2027. No deal values for the three completed transactions were disclosed in the release.
