Editorial Perspective
Cemex Ventures is the CVC arm of Cemex, the global building materials giant. Their thesis covers four pillars: Green Construction, Enhanced Productivity, Construction Supply Chain, and Future of Construction. They co-run the Construction Startup Competition (9th edition in 2025) alongside Hilti, Saint-Gobain NOVA, Caterpillar, and Trimble—making them a gateway to the entire construction industry supply chain. Madrid-headquartered but investing globally including UK. Best fit for ConTech founders whose product directly improves construction materials usage, site productivity, or green building practices. The strategic value is deployment into Cemex's global operations (70+ countries). Not ideal for pure software without construction-materials relevance.

Tomas M. Krogh
Fractional Chief Commercial Officer
I specialize in taking founder-led commercial engines apart until only the parts that work are left standing. Before advising, I operated-scaling a business from zero to the FT1000 list three years running and facilitating 10 billion DKK in property transactions. I don't write polite advisory decks; I give you the exact commercial reality check you need before an investment committee does it for you.
