Summary
Rebuild Capital has completed three transactions in the nine months since its public debut, expanding a portfolio of real estate and construction technology companies that sit between traditional venture capital and private equity. The firm was founded in 2025 by Jeremy Kaner, who previously held investment roles at Olive Tree, Tishman Speyer and Picus Capital and helped establish Barclays' real estate and construction technology investment banking group.
According to the publisher's description, Rebuild provides financing for acquisitions, recapitalizations, mergers and roll-ups, as well as first institutional investments in profitable businesses previously funded by their founders. The firm targets companies with established revenue, demonstrated product-market fit and measurable customer returns. It addresses businesses that may be too small for large private equity investors, or whose growth and exit prospects do not align with traditional venture expectations. The firm also sees opportunities among companies that raised venture funding at high valuations between 2018 and 2023 and now need a greater focus on profitability, as well as businesses seeking acquisitions to broaden individual products into larger software offerings as customers consolidate vendors.
The portfolio includes Greenlight Rent, a multifamily risk mitigation platform 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 in which Rebuild was the first investor. Rebuild works with management teams and strategic investors on growth, operating performance and progress toward sustained profitability and potential exits.
The firm reports more than 50 strategic investors, including real estate and construction owners and operators representing over 1.5 million residential units, 1 billion square feet of commercial property and $30 billion in active construction projects. Backers include the Ezralow and Alley families, Alterra Property Group, ARCO, Rushmore Management and Kairos HQ, alongside former senior private equity executives.
In describing its strategy, Kaner said: "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 expects to announce additional transactions in late 2026 and early 2027.
