Deena is Founder and Managing Partner at Venturon Ltd., a venture capital group that invests in, and mentors North American Sustainable Proptech and Proptech companies developing innovative technologies, products and services for the construction and real estate industry.

Deena bridges the worlds of technology and property development. With her deep roots in real estate as Managing Partner and Board Director of Innovation at National Homes, Deena identified early on that the most successful industry in the world was also the least technologically innovative. Real estate, in every aspect, was ripe for the adoption of efficiencies, opportunities and new revenue streams driven by technology.

Venturon is the realization of that vision. Deena founded the company on the belief that new technology, products and services can create disruptive advantages, efficiencies and significant returns. The result has been an extraordinarily successful cross pollination from her work in both industries. To test innovative concepts in real-world construction, she pilots some of Venturons portfolio companies within the National Homes Eco-System. To date, the group has invested in 9 companies with 1 successful exit, 1 portfolio with an IPO currently in process and 4 companies that have completed subsequent funding rounds at higher valuations.

Deena’s investment expertise has years of proven accomplishment in part because of the unique advantage of Deena’s development industry ecosystem to leverage investments. It’s a win-win that’s building a foundation and a launchpad for delivering results through opportunities in real estate and Sustainable Proptech.
