03:58- About Nirman Ventures
- Nirman Ventures is a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm that is on a mission to support early-stage startups disrupting the $14 Trillion dollar Construction Industry.
- Our focus areas are construction-tech, clean tech, and blockchain tech shaping real estate.
- We looked at various funds out there in the market and although those funds were great, one thing that severely lacked is the understanding of the domain.
07:06- You focus on construction tech, clean tech, and property tech – Is the sector more important or the technology?
- Both are equally influential. You have to look at the sector map also, how big and outdated is the industry.
- You have to look at the technology that is out there in that industry.
- When we mapped the whole sector, we figured that there are not enough technological Innovations that are happening in the sector, so our fund can really be the catalyst to drive those innovations.
11:03- What are some of the key metrics you look for before considering an investment?
- The founding team played a very influential role. There are a lot of people who would invest in solo Founders, but I used to stay away from solo founders. There are more positives to a partnership than negatives.
- We look at the maturity of the product.
21:23- Three lessons
- Make a dollar, save a quarter.
- Be humble um because remember there’s always someone who’s more successful than you are.
- Spend time with your loved ones.
