Construct Capital's Dayna Grayson and Rachel Holt COURTESY OF CONSTRUCT CAPITAL
For years, Dayna Grayson invested in industrial innovation as a partner at NEA, one of the few prominent investors focused on the massive, and underserved, space. She found a surprise ally in fellow Washington, D.C.-area resident Rachel Holt, an Uber executive who most recently led the ride-hailing giant’s mobility unit. The two have now raised $140 million for their new firm, Construct Capital, for investments in manufacturing, supply chain, transportation and other foundational industries.
