Construct Capital, a venture capital company at the start of the stadium which invests in startups applying technology to sectors such as manufacturing, transport and defense, has closed its third fund with 300 million dollars in capital commitments.
The company based in Washington, in DC, previously raised a second 225 million dollars fund and a capital pool of $ 75 million for companies at a subsequent stage in 2022.
While many emerging managers find it difficult to collect new funds, the transport of capital to build stresses that the interest of institutional investors to support VC focused on the growing field of defense technology in the midst of increasing geopolitical tensions, as well as the pressure of the Trump administration to increase national manufacturing.
The company was founded in 2020 by the former partner of the AEA DAYY GRAYSON and Rachel Holt, who was previously a framework in Uber. Construction has invested in startups like Hadrian, which uses software to make parts for the defense and aerospace industries, and Veho, a company specializing in the delivery of electronic commerce from the last mile of distribution centers to customers.
