After building successful ecosystems at BitStone Capital and MOMENI Ventures, the partners have now come together to launch Realyze Ventures.

“It is not about niche investments, but profound transformation,” says Fabian Lenz, Managing Director at Goldbeck. “The building sector, construction industry, and skilled trades play a decisive role in shaping Europe’s climate performance and global competitiveness. That’s exactly the focus of Realyze Ventures, and we are pleased to be part of it.”

The fund’s closing marks the official launch of Realyze Ventures’ investment platform, which focuses on tech-driven solutions for decarbonisation, digitalisation, and improving efficiency. The aim is to grow assets under management by funding innovations that make the real estate, construction, and skilled trades sectors more climate-friendly, digital, and resilient—while also enabling better integration with the energy industry.

Realyze Ventures positions itself as more than just a capital provider. As a sector specialist, the team offers deep industry access, fast technology validation, and strong market integration—giving startups a unique edge.

“We combine strategic capital with operational execution capability, creating a venture capital platform that attracts startups as well as institutional investors,” adds Manfred Heid. “With this closing, we lay the foundation for an ecosystem set to sustainably transform Europe’s construction and real estate sectors.”
