JLL Spark Global Ventures has participated in Aston’s Series A financing round, joining co-leads Building Ventures and TDK Ventures in backing what we believe is one of the most important infrastructure companies being built today. In this post, we share what drew us to Aston and why we see this as a defining investment for JLL Spark and the broader commercial real estate industry.
JLL Spark investor Ajey Kaushal co-authors the review in Commercial Observer with CRETI founder and managing director Ashkán Zandieh.
Continuing our JLL Spark investor series, Principal Ajey Kaushal shares his insights on CRE-focused venture capital – what he looks for in a startup and why an investment from JLL Spark brings unique value to a PropTech startup. Ajey brings a wealth of knowledge and humor to his investments and board roles which include qbiq, Sertis, Ren Systems, Re-Leased, and ALICE Technologies.
JLL Spark Global Ventures recently led a $3.5 million funding round for Ren Systems, reaffirming not only our intent to back visionary founders building world-changing businesses but also our commitment to tech-enabling our core business and transforming our industry.
The past three years have arguably made the commercial world more connected than the previous hundred combined. The COVID-19 pandemic has forever changed the way we work, unlocking the ability to work from anywhere and redefining the employer/employee dynamic.
