Ten years later, the scenario changes completely: there are about 700 startups operating in the real estate market and also in construction. In 2020, both sectors received over BRL 1 billion in investments.

Construction Startups Are Growing Exponentially

“The multiplication of the number of startups and the resources allocated to them is a thermometer of the interest that the sector generates,” says Loreto. Thus, observing such growth, both entrepreneurs decided to found Terracota. Since its inception, they have already invested in companies such as Rede Vistorias, EmCasa, OrçaFascio, and InstaCafé. All these startups generated over BRL 30 million in revenue in 2020 alone.

In the following years, the company aims to invest in several subsegments within the construction industry.

“We will also see the industrialization of construction accelerate. Businesses using modular construction will make the construction journey more efficient and the sector more sustainable,” says Loreto.
