Takeoff Capital is a construction technology-focused investment firm founded by the co-founders of EquipmentShare, one of the most successful contech unicorns of the last decade. The firm's thesis is "building over betting" — concentrating capital in a select few founders rather than spreading bets widely, and partnering with self-aware founders who act with grit and humility. Takeoff leads and syndicates rounds from pre-seed to Series B with checks between $250k and $10M, backing companies across construction, manufacturing, and real estate that share a data-centric vision of the future. The firm prizes execution-first founders with strong founder-market fit and capital efficiency over hype-driven storytelling.
Notable quotes
“The last decade in venture was an era of exponentially increasing euphoria — a time of low inflation, cheap money, and a founder's showmanship often prioritized over a founder's execution. For us, Albiware represents a return to form of what it means to build a real, fast-growing, scalable business.”
“Albiware is transforming the way restoration contractors are doing their business by helping the contractors get paid faster and keeping all information in one place. But what's most transformational about the Albiware team is their empathy for the small business owners — they know the product that owners need because they came from the industry themselves.”
“Choose an investor that concentrates their capital in a select few founders instead of betting on many. Partner with an investor who has built a contech unicorn rather than just tweeted about it.”
