Before Raises.com Vas was experienced in getting the initial information together, and circling decent amounts of capital, but for him to hit larger transaction sizes, he needed an even better approach.

“Quite a few meetings on Mondays and Wednesdays, because I was putting some stuff in the contract. You know, to raise capital, you need a good deal, typically, unless you’re doing a blind fund or something. I actually ended up meeting with Abdiel in Orlando, and we were able to meet up. He has a lot of interesting programs, especially in the debt for real estate side. I also met his partner a few weeks before Abdiel was in Orlando, and I was able to meet with them both. That’s pretty cool. I think through the Raises.com platform and your help, I was able to make two good connections that I believe will translate. I introduced Abdiel to my partner who has close to a thousand units of apartment projects here in Orlando. So maybe he will also benefit from this. I just wanted to mention this, you know, all these projects combined are probably close to $100 million in value. So, great work, Natu. Anyway, there you go.”
