Building at the Intersection of Real Estate and Emerging Technology
Kaufman Ventures, led by principal and founder Daniel Kaufman, builds and funds companies inside our own platform across six verticals, AI infrastructure, robotics & automation, data centers, modular construction, 3D printing & advanced manufacturing, and real estate technology more broadly.
Built to Solve the Platform’s Own Problems First
Several portfolio companies were built to solve problems Kaufman & Company’s own operating companies face first, before being opened to the broader market. That gives Kaufman Ventures an unusual advantage, a live testing ground and a first customer before it’s introduced to the broader market.
Kaufman Ventures builds at the seams between physical infrastructure and software, the places where real estate, capital, and emerging technology meet.
Every platform company is funded from Kaufman & Company’s own balance sheet, patient, permanent capital with no fund life to manage around and no outside investors to report to.
Built to solve Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting’s own wholesale-sourcing problem first, now an autonomous AI engine that finds, calls, and closes deals for outside buyers too.

Daniel Kaufman is founder and principal of Kaufman Ventures, and founder and CEO of Kaufman & Company, the platform it sits inside as its 10th operating company. His work in real estate development spans acquisition and development across multifamily, build-to-rent, workforce and affordable housing, hospitality, and mixed-use.
That operating background is why Kaufman Ventures builds the way it does. Every platform company exists because a Kaufman & Company operating business needed it first, and Daniel Kaufman oversees each one personally, the same discipline he applies across the platform’s real estate development and advisory work.
