Real Estate and Acquisitions Capital Raising for Independent Sponsors

Real Estate and Acquisitions Capital Raising for Independent Sponsors

Close with certainty. We package funding, underwriting, and paper so independent sponsors in Real Estate and M&A can raise capital deal by deal without hiring a full platform team. You get debt and equity sourced, diligence organized, and sponsor economics protected inside a clean JV waterfall.

Snapshot: 21-day sprint to term sheets and investor readiness. Target deal sizes $5M to $300M. Senior, unitranche, and mezz lender outreach plus LP equity syndication. IC-ready model, JV waterfall, lender brief, and compliance pack included. Optional KP and guarantor solutions for CRE.

Who This Is For

Independent Sponsors

  • Deal-by-deal sponsors without a committed fund.
  • Searchers and operators stepping into control positions.
  • Co-GPs needing lender and LP credibility fast.

Transaction Profiles

  • M&A: EBITDA positive, clean cash conversion, defensible moat.
  • CRE: Value-add, core-plus, or development with clear lease-up or sale plan.
  • Close timelines inside 45 to 120 days.
