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. Today the portfolio holds five funded companies — several built to solve problems the platform’s own operating companies face first.
