Vivin Hegde co-founded Zacua Ventures after leading corporate venturing and innovation at Hilti, bringing rare operator experience from a global construction equipment company directly into early-stage ConTech investing. He describes himself as a construction guy first rather than a finance person, emphasizing that contractors don't buy technology but solutions, and pushes founders to focus on removing actual work for crews rather than just adding data and dashboards.
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.
