A podcast for real estate sponsors
Capital Station
How real estate sponsors raise capital.
Real conversations with sponsors about how they found their investors, earned their trust, and closed the raise. If you've raised capital, your story can help the next generation of capital raisers get there faster.
What we cover
Every kind of real estate raise
Different investors, different deals, different stages. We talk with sponsors across all of it, in plain language.
Investors
Family offices & repeat LPs
Larger checks and longer relationships. How sponsors approach family offices, and how they keep past investors coming back for the next deal.
Deal types
Multifamily, value-add & development
Apartment syndications, value-add repositioning, and ground-up development, and how the story you tell investors changes with each.
Deal types
Private credit & alternative assets
Debt funds, car washes, self storage, and other niches. How sponsors explain less familiar strategies to investors.
Raise stages
Your first raise
Starting from zero: building your first investor list, getting the first commitments, and learning what you'd do differently next time.
Raise stages
Scaling to a fund & 506(b) vs. 506(c)
Moving from deal-by-deal raises to a fund, plus the basics of 506(b) and 506(c) offerings. General education, not legal advice.
