Cem Mimaroglou is a former financial services executive and serial entrepreneur who transitioned to venture capital and now runs Zacua's global pre-seed Scout Program while also managing his own Built World-focused micro-VC fund, bringing operator, founder, and institutional investing perspectives to construction technology investments. He has developed an unusually transparent, AI-enabled deal evaluation workflow using call transcription and custom Notion templates that compresses memo-writing from days to hours, and actively promotes construction robotics through hands-on initiatives like helping structure the world's first fully robotic residential villa in Dubai.
About their Fund
Zacua Ventures is backed by 19 major construction-sector corporates as LPs including Cemex, Volvo and Procore, positioning it as a sector-anchored fund whose capital base mirrors the customers and partners their startups need, and is founded and run by former operators from Hilti and Cemex Ventures with deep inside the value chain experience across tools, materials, and construction innovation arms. The fund operates as a global, multi-hub construction-tech specialist with presence in San Francisco, New York, Singapore, Madrid, and Mexico City, and runs targeted ecosystem programs like a global Scout Program for pre-seed Built World startups and a robotic startup call tied to building the first robotic villa that plug startups directly into real-world pilots and corporate partners.
