We released our first Venture Investor Top List in 2018, with the aim of bringing attention to the most active institutional and corporate venture capitalists investing in the built world.?That year, the list included 27 investors.

This year’s Venture Investor 50 includes investors that you may recognize from previous years—such as Fifth Wall, Aramco Ventures, Zacua Ventures, Blackhorn Ventures, and Nemetschek Group—but also plenty of newcomers—including CRH Ventures, GS Futures, Heartland Ventures, and Camber Creek—with quite a shakeup in the most active investors, as well.

As an artificial intelligence specialist for Pomerleau, one of Canada's premier construction companies, Majid Seydgar is tasked with more than simply envisioning the potential applications of the technology in construction. Rather, he's tasked with enacting them. "In my role at Pomerleau, I focus on generative AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and large foundational models (LFMs), to revolutionize everyday tasks in the construction industry," said Seydgar in an interview with BuiltWorlds Research Analyst Sofie Richardson. He talks about using AI for retrieval-augmented generation patters, fine-tuning models, and integrating LLMs into existing AI applications. "One of the projects I worked on involved utilizing LLMs to allow users to interact with cloud databases effortlessly by asking questions in plain language," Seydgar said. "This project leveraged generative AI in combination with computing agents to analyze both input queries (in plain language) as well as database content to locate and retrieve the target information, perform computation and return the output to the users."
