About Investor

Jainish Rathod is an External Venture Analyst (Intern) with Saint-Gobain NOVA, the corporate venture arm of Saint-Gobain, based between Boston and the broader US–EU construction-tech ecosystem. NOVA focuses on construction tech, advanced materials, energy efficiency, climate-tech, and smart-building solutions, typically investing at seed and early-stage venture rounds where average round sizes are around the mid-single-digit millions, while Jainish supports sourcing, diligence, and thesis development rather than leading checks himself. His work involves scanning startups in construction tech, climate/sustainability, and related software/robotics, and helping align opportunities with Saint-Gobain’s strategic priorities. He is also a student at Hult International Business School in Boston and actively engages with the global construction-tech and climate-tech communities through research and ecosystem involvement.
