Juan Nieto is Founding Partner for APAC & EU at Zacua Ventures, leading the firm's expansion across Europe and Asia-Pacific markets. He transitioned from CEMEX Ventures where he developed the Asia-Pacific investment strategy and set up their Shanghai office in 2019, maintaining continuous focus on construction and built-world technology throughout his career from corporate VC to founding an independent early-stage fund.
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.
