KAUFMAN VENTURES, THE 10TH OPERATING COMPANY
Investing at the Intersection of Real Estate and Emerging Technology
Daniel Kaufman Ventures, led by principal and founder Daniel Kaufman, funds early-stage startups across six verticals, AI infrastructure, robotics & automation, data centers, modular construction, 3D printing & advanced manufacturing, and early-stage real estate technology more broadly.
THE THESIS
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 favors founders working at the seams between physical infrastructure and software, the places where real estate, capital, and emerging technology meet.

Structure, within Kaufman & Company
All portfolio companies are venture-funded, not internally developed. A related project, Project Zero, micro and mid-scale data centers and edge computing, is direct development through DanReDev rather than a venture holding.
