Hamilton Ventures

About

Hamilton Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm with a singular focus on real estate tech (proptech) startups. Our mission is to help proptech entrepreneurs leverage our capital, expertise and network while they build a successful company.

The members of the Hamilton group include several CXOs of the most successful firms in the real estate industry – among them CoStar, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, GMAC, Guggenheim Partners, Radian, Realogy, Prudential, SitusAMC, Starwood, Stewart Title, Newmark, HUD, Corelogic, and NEF – as well as highly successful entrepreneurs and other seasoned professionals.

Real estate is the single largest industry in the U.S., yet historically has been one of the lowest spenders on technology. The industry was (and to a great extent still is) known as being a late adopter of technology solutions. However, that’s changing rapidly. Over the last few years, proptech has created more enterprise value and spawned more unicorns than any other single industry sector in venture capital. When the world’s largest industry suddenly decides to adopt technology, one would expect a lot of value to be created. And it’s only just begun.

Adding value to early-stage proptech companies in the following ways:

  • Strategic Capital
  • Coaching
  • Enterprise Customer Relationships
  • Collective Wisdom

ActivumSG Ventures

We believe that the last great frontier for technological transformation is the built environment. Real estate is the largest asset class in the world, yet in almost every category, the sector's adoption of technology is still in the earliest stages.

Structural tailwinds, shifting trends, customer demand and a fresh influx of talent and capital are creating the perfect conditions for the next wave of startups to drive profound changes across the entire sector. From the way places are designed, built and managed. To the way people live, work, learn and are cared for. Across infrastructure and construction, operations and experiences, financing and transactions. Providing unparalleled opportunities to generate significant financial, societal and environmental benefits for individuals, organisations and the planet. Our role is to back these breakthrough businesses so they can reconstruct the built world for the better. Your role is to join us in this exciting endeavour as an Associate. ActivumSG Ventures was launched in 2020, and is the ventures investing arm of ActivumSG, a 60 person European real estate private equity fund with an established track record investing €2bn across every aspect of real estate from residential to retail, hospitality to healthcare, commercial to corporate, logistics to lending. Which means we can bring significant value to our portfolio by leveraging the expertise, experience, assets, footprint and network across the entire firm. One of our most deeply held values is 'Leave it better than you found it'.
