Travis Putnam at Navitas Capital focuses specifically on AI and software tools that automate back-office construction workflows like contract review, procurement, and compliance rather than flashy consumer-facing apps. Founders choose him because he understands the specific operational challenges that general contractors face and brings concrete ideas for overcoming industry problems, positioning him as a sector insider rather than a generalist proptech investor.

Notable Investments
Navitas Capital is one of a small number of built world-only early-stage VCs with a 15+ year history, founded in 2009 and focused exclusively on transformative tech for real estate and construction, with partners who are themselves real estate owners, operators, and developers that deploy new tech first across their own portfolio. The fund's LP base is unusually concentrated in blue-chip real estate strategics like AvalonBay, Equity Residential, and PulteGroup, enabling Navitas to offer startups direct access to large-scale owners and operators as design partners and customers rather than just capital introductions.
