Hello #San #Francisco, Hello Venture West 2024 Conference from BuiltWorlds!

Last week, Simon Ryschka, responsible for our New Ventures business in the US got a chance to visit Venture West 2024 together with our CEO Nils Wagner.

The most relevant takeaways? Here we go!

🕡 As the #Construction #Tech Vertical matures, we now observe companies and early investors seeking for an "exit strategy." They are searching for strategic or private equity buyers capable of elevating solutions to the next level in terms of market access, scale, and technological advancement. What does this mean for corporations? Well, they must identify the appropriate champions within their organization to lead discussions from a strategic standpoint and raise awareness for the startup within their organization.

🌏 Navigating towards Net-Zero in the Built environment: Enhancing sustainability within the built environment remains a vast realm of opportunity for startups and innovators across hardware and software domains.

💰 Corporate venture capital (CVC) arms wield a unique power in today's Construction Tech landscape, offering startups an edge through their deep industry knowledge and connections. It's reassuring to recognize the pivotal role CVCs can play in startup triumphs. To foster mutually beneficial outcomes for investors and founders alike, CVCs should retain observer status and a stake that permits subsequent funding rounds from other venture capitalists or strategic backers. With a strategic approach, corporate innovation, corporate venturing, and construction technology can flourish harmoniously.

Great conference, talks and most important: Diving into this mature ConTech community with well estabslished rules and networks.

🎉 Typically, at REHAU New Ventures, we specialize in building our own ventures. However, this time, we made an exception and invested into a fresh new startup... 👉 CoStore.

What's it all about? Addressing the challenge of limited storage space, whether for individuals or businesses, CoStore offers autonomous and digitally integrated container storage parks. By utilizing already developed but underutilized space, Costore undoubtedly provides an excellent solution to its customers!

💼 As investors, we're not merely seeking opportunities but partnerships. We have faith in the team behind CoStore and their potential to drive real change.

💡 This investment means a significant milestone for us at New Ventures as we continue to expand our portfolio.

Happy to share more on the journey of CoStore! Anyone in #lasvegas this week and keen to meet the Co-Founder team Marcel Philipp Lang Jannes Koepcke at Inside Self-Storage 2024?

In his role as CEO of REHAU New Ventures and as the grandson of the REHAU founder, Helmut Wagner, Nils Wagner is on a bold mission: to drive our company forward with cutting-edge business models and to spearhead a cultural revolution in the workplace 🎯.

🌿 Are you ready for the summer season?🌿 🏡

Just in Time for the Garden & Balcony Season Opening, our brand LIVLIG appears with a new rebrand!🌱✨

LIVLIG: Synonymous with design excellence, functionality, high quality in beautiful, minimalist outdoor products for garden, balcony & terrace.

💹 Actually we are jumping into our 3rd garden season with the business now. It's simply fantastic to see what has evolved from the idea of offering a "beautiful" garden hose produced by REHAU which turned now into a 7-digits-net sales online business. 💡 💰

The new LIVLIG logo now captures this simplicity and clarity, showing our dedication to a #design that says it all. Our #mission stays strong: we're focused on building a community that loves life, nature, and quality as much as we do. LIVLIG isn't just about products; it's about living fully, authentically, and happily.

🌏 The rebrand marks the beginning of our journey to expand and globalize the business. Stay tuned for more updates in the upcoming posts...
