    Cody Sechelski

    CEO, Masterbuilt Ventures Holdings, LLC

    Cody Sechelski, CEO of Masterbuilt Ventures Holdings, LLC, closed the first acquisition of his operator-led Texas HVAC roll-up in 2026, with Raises.com advising on capital structure and lender sourcing. He found the firm through a YouTube interview in October 2025, booked a call, and roughly seven months later closed a profitable, family-run HVAC business using an equity-light structure with seller participation. It is the first deal in a Gulf Coast specialty-trades platform.

    Cody SechelskiWATCH EPISODE

    Watch the full on-location interview in Navasota, Texas →

    From a YouTube video to a booked call

    Cody spent more than a decade in Texas construction and trades before deciding to buy companies instead of only building them. He formed Masterbuilt Ventures Holdings as his acquisition platform, with a simple thesis: buy profitable, family-run service businesses across Texas and the Gulf Coast and run them under one roof. He found Raises.com through a YouTube podcast interview in October 2025 and booked a strategy call the same month.

    The 10% club: most deals under LOI never close

    Cody is blunt about the reality most first-time buyers do not hear: the large majority of deals that reach a letter of intent never close. What separates the ones that do is preparation and determination. Clean financials that agree with each other, a business that survives the key-man test, and a team that keeps moving when the process drags.

    The funding tournament

    Tre Brown ran the deal day to day. The capital did not come from the first door. It came from a tournament across multiple capital firms, months of moving goalposts, and a final lender that quoted three weeks and took two. The seller waited because the structure and the story held. That patience, and a stack built to survive a recession, is what got it to the wire.

    The roll-up thesis: your P&L is a deal list

    The first acquisition is a platform, not an endpoint. Cody frames rollover equity as the second payday and the platform as the compounding engine: each add-on business becomes another line on the same P&L. The plan is to grow from one operating business toward a multi-deal Gulf Coast trades group.

    Who this is for, and who it is not

    Cody is direct about fit. This path is for operators who will do the work, not for people looking for a quick fix or a passive check. If you are buying a real business and the capital is the wall, that is exactly the gap Raises.com closes: the structure, the documents, and the introductions that turn a signed LOI into a funded close.

    Capital Dossier: The Delegated Capital Function

    — Dave Klivans, written review · May 12, 2026

    Dave Klivans, Co-founder of ag.online, LLC, partnered with Raises.com to remove the capital-raising bottleneck from his real estate acquisition pipeline. As a self-described introvert, the constant investor schmoozing required to fund deals had become the single biggest constraint on his growth. By outsourcing the entire debt and equity sourcing process to Raises.com, Dave was able to refocus exclusively on what he does best — sourcing and closing deals — while his capital partners brought the funding to the table.

    Verbatim Client Review

    Tre,

    Before finding a partner in raises.com, I was constantly struggling to raise capital (primarily for real estate deals/acquisitions). I am highly introverted and didn't enjoy shmoozing with people to try to win their investment funds. When I started working with raises.com, they immediately went to work sourcing debt and equity for multiple large deals I had in the pipeline so I didn't have to. It was difficult to do everything on my own prior, because I was: sourcing deals, trying to look for capital, and trying to close multiple deals with fragmented investor sources, etc.

    Now, with raises.com, the capital allocation process is done for me. I don't need to look for capital because it's already taken care of. I source deals (which is what I'm great at anyway), and the excellent folks at raises.com come with the funding so we can close cleanly.

    In the future, we are planning to acquire institutional farms. This should be much easier utilizing raises.com because of their many outreach connections in the high finance community. We are looking to grow from one farm within our auspices to 10 farms within 3 years. We know we can now accomplish this utilizing the exceptional funding services offered by raises.com.

    Thank you, Dave Klivans (ag.online, LLC)

    The "Before" Snapshot — A Skilled Operator Stuck on the Capital Treadmill

    • The Operator: Dave Klivans is the Co-founder of ag.online, LLC, an operator focused on real estate acquisitions — including Bella Groves, a memory care facility under Alheli Holdings, LLC, secured by SBA and Prosperity Bank commercial loans.
    • The Personality Mismatch: In his own words, Dave was "highly introverted and didn't enjoy shmoozing with people to try to win their investment funds." The traditional capital-raising playbook was fundamentally misaligned with how he operates best.
    • The Fragmentation Problem: Dave was simultaneously sourcing deals, hunting for capital, and trying to close multiple transactions across a patchwork of disconnected investor sources.

    The Intervention — Outsourcing the Capital Function

    • Immediate Activation: When Dave engaged Raises.com, the team "immediately went to work sourcing debt and equity for multiple large deals" already in his pipeline.
    • Institutional-Grade Underwriting Support: Raises.com consolidated Dave's holdings — including stock loans being finalized with Huntington Bank — into a single data room. A family-office-level financial model was built across his personal and business entities to surface DSCR metrics required by lenders.
    • High-Finance Network Access: Dave gained access to Raises.com's outreach connections in the high-finance community — the exact relationship infrastructure that an introverted operator cannot realistically build alone at scale.

    The "After" Snapshot — Founder Focuses on Deals, Capital Comes to Him

    • Division of Labor: Dave now operates a clean division of labor: he sources deals (his unique edge), and Raises.com brings the capital so transactions close cleanly.
    • A Repeatable Acquisition Engine: With debt and equity execution running in parallel to deal sourcing, Dave is positioned to compound transaction velocity.

    Future Outlook — From One Farm to Ten in Three Years

    • The Roll-Up Thesis: Dave's go-forward plan is to acquire institutional farms — growing from one farm under ag.online to ten farms within three years.
    • Why This Works Now: With Raises.com's high-finance outreach network and underwriting infrastructure in place, the 10x growth target is no longer constrained by Dave's appetite for investor schmoozing.

    Forensic Communications Dossier

    A full white-paper audit of every documented positive indicator — verbatim praise, behavioral trust signals, referrals to Raises.com, dependency markers, and forward-looking commitments — has been compiled from Dave's Q1–Q2 2026 email correspondence and recorded phone transcripts.

    Full Case Study

    How an introverted deal-sourcer detached fundraising from his own personality and built a 1-to-10 farm roll-up plan

    This dossier documents Dave Klivans, co-founder of ag.online, LLC, a real-asset acquirer whose constraint was not deal flow but the capital function itself. A self-described introvert, he was sourcing deals, hunting capital, and juggling fragmented investor sources simultaneously. The engagement re-divided the labor: he sources deals, the Raises.com desk sources debt and equity across multiple large pipeline deals. On that division he now plans a roll-up from one institutional farm to ten within three years.

    In the client's own words

    “Before finding a partner in raises.com, I was constantly struggling to raise capital (primarily for real estate deals/acquisitions). I am highly introverted and didn’t enjoy shmoozing with people to try to win their investment funds. When I started working with raises.com, they immediately went to work sourcing debt and equity for multiple large deals I had in the pipeline so I didn’t have to.”
    , Dave Klivans, written review
    “Now, with raises.com, the capital allocation process is done for me. I don’t need to look for capital because it’s already taken care of. I source deals (which is what I’m great at anyway), and the excellent folks at raises.com come with the funding so we can close cleanly.”

    “Since I am such a huge fan of raises.com and a wonderful client, I am starting to refer multiple individuals within my network to your firm.”
    , Dave Klivans, email

    1. Mandate profile

    • Buyer: Dave Klivans, co-founder, ag.online, LLC. Strength: deal sourcing. Constraint: investor-facing fundraising.
    • Pipeline: multiple large real estate and acquisition deals running concurrently.
    • Forward plan: acquire institutional farms, growing “from one farm within our auspices to 10 farms within 3 years.”

    2. Situation: one founder, three jobs

    In his own accounting, the pre-engagement workload was: “sourcing deals, trying to look for capital, and trying to close multiple deals with fragmented investor sources.” Three full-time functions on one introverted founder is a structural bottleneck no amount of effort fixes: the highest-value work (sourcing) starves while the least-suited work (schmoozing capital) consumes the calendar.

    3. The intervention: re-divide the labor

    The engagement moved the capital function off the founder entirely. The Raises.com desk went to work “immediately” sourcing debt and equity across the live pipeline. The founder’s job description collapsed to the thing he is demonstrably best at: finding deals worth funding.

    4. Outcome and forward book

    Clean division of labor, multiple deals funded in parallel, and a scaling thesis the founder now states with confidence: one farm to ten farms in three years on the strength of “many outreach connections in the high finance community.” The relationship has also inverted into advocacy: he now refers members of his own network into the firm.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Audit your founder job description: if fundraising occupies the calendar and drains you, it is a delegable function, not a personality test to pass.
    • Introversion is not a capital-raising disqualifier when the outreach layer is institutional. The deals, not the dinner circuit, carry the raise.
    • A roll-up plan (1 to 10 assets) is only credible once the capital function is repeatable without the founder in every meeting.

    Esteve Mede

    Founder, D2K Technologies

    Acquisition Dossier: The Resilient Acquisition

    Esteve Mede's journey from a failed $40 million acquisition to a successful $3 million AI acquisition illustrates the profound value of a robust, reusable framework. Through Raises.com, he built the confidence and competence to continue pursuing strategic acquisitions, positioning him to launch his own business acquisition fund.

    Acquired $3M AI firm serving NASA

    Full Case Study

    How Esteve Mede absorbed a $40M deal collapse and closed a $3M AI firm with NASA and Canadian Navy contracts

    This dossier chronicles Esteve Mede, a Washington D.C. cybersecurity operator, through the full arc of a modern acquisition campaign: a meticulously prepared $40 million target that collapsed, and the disciplined pivot that followed, closing D2K Technologies, a $3 million artificial intelligence firm serving NASA and the Canadian Navy, by February 2023. The analysis isolates the asset that made the second outcome possible: a reusable acquisition framework (due diligence, financial modeling, capital structure) that survives the death of any single deal.

    In the client's own words

    “The framework Raises.com provided was invaluable. After a setback on a $40M deal, I used their system to close a $3M AI acquisition and now I’m building my own acquisition fund.”
    , Esteve Mede, recorded review

    1. Mandate profile

    • Buyer: Esteve Mede, cybersecurity operator, Washington D.C. sector.
    • Campaign: 2022 pursuit of a $40 million target, prepared end to end; deal collapsed. February 2023: acquisition of D2K Technologies, $3 million valuation, AI firm with NASA and Canadian Navy contracts.
    • Trajectory: from single acquirer toward launching his own business acquisition fund.

    2. Situation: prepared, then blindsided

    Mr. Mede engaged Raises.com before his first pursuit specifically to learn the ins and outs of the acquisition process at institutional grade: diligence, modeling, capital raising. The $40 million deal fell through anyway, as a meaningful share of large deals do. The dossier point is not that preparation prevents collapse. It is that preparation determines what collapse costs you.

    3. The intervention: a framework that survives the deal

    Because the Raises.com framework was built as a reusable system rather than a single-transaction checklist, the collapse consumed a deal, not the campaign. Mr. Mede reassessed the market without emotion and re-entered the hunt immediately, applying the same diligence and modeling apparatus to new targets at zero rebuild cost.

    4. Execution and outcome

    The second target was smaller and strategically superior: an AI company with government-grade clients (NASA, the Canadian Navy), a defensible moat, and a high-growth profile at a $3 million valuation. He closed it. The win validated the thesis he now states plainly: with patience, focus, and the right guidance, big challenges could be overcome. The same framework now underwrites his next step: his own acquisition fund.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Size is not strategy. A $3M company with NASA on the client list can out-earn a $40M generic target on risk-adjusted terms.
    • Build the framework once, then point it at targets. Restarting from zero after each dead deal is how acquirers exhaust themselves out of the market.
    • Deal collapse is a stress test, not a verdict. The correct response is unemotional re-entry, at the speed your standing infrastructure allows.

    Chris Goodman

    Founder, Triple Net Lease REIT

    Formation Dossier: Redefining Value in REIT Formation

    Chris Goodman of Triple Net Lease REIT navigated the formation of a $100M USD offering with Raises.com, reducing legal formation costs from $30,000-$39,000 to $15,000-$22,000—a direct saving of nearly 50%. He also received a strategic introduction to a top-tier investment bank.

    Reduced REIT formation costs by 50%

    Full Case Study

    A $100M Triple Net Lease REIT formed at ~48% below traditional legal cost, plus a $25B/yr investment-bank introduction

    This dossier provides a line-item analysis of how Chris Goodman structured a $100M USD Triple Net Lease REIT offering. Traditional counsel quoted $30,000 to $39,000 for formation (Maryland REIT Law compliance, Form D, investor documents). The Raises.com engagement delivered the same scope for $15,000 to $22,000, a saving of roughly 48%, and added the item no law firm quotes: a warm introduction to an investment bank closing over $25 billion annually, at no additional cost.

    In the client's own words

    “Raises.com saved us nearly 50% on legal formation costs for our $100M REIT offering and introduced us to a top-tier investment bank closing over $25 billion annually.”
    , Chris Goodman, recorded review

    1. Mandate profile

    • Sponsor: Chris Goodman, Triple Net Lease REIT.
    • Vehicle: multi-strategy REIT, $100M USD offering, Maryland REIT Law framework, Form D filing, full investor documentation.
    • Twin constraints: formation cost draining working capital, and no access to institutional distribution partners.

    2. The cost architecture, quantified

    Service categoryTraditional costRaises.com costSavings
    Legal structuring$12,000 - $15,000$6,000 - $8,000~50%
    Regulatory compliance$10,000 - $12,000$5,000 - $7,000~50%
    Investor relations setup$8,000 - $12,000$4,000 - $7,000~50%
    Total estimated$30,000 - $39,000$15,000 - $22,000~48%

    3. How the saving is produced (not discounting, re-engineering)

    • Templated-yet-customizable instruments: entity incorporation, subscription agreements, and blue sky filings run on proven workflows instead of bespoke billable hours.
    • Specialist scope: the work is capital-formation work, done repeatedly, not a generalist firm re-learning REIT mechanics on the client’s invoice.

    4. The access dividend

    The engagement’s second deliverable has no line item: a direct, warm introduction to an investment bank that closes over $25 billion per year. For an emerging REIT, that relationship is normally years and significant capital away. Delivered inside the formation engagement, it converts a cost-reduction story into a distribution story.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Get formation quotes itemized, then challenge each line against a specialist workflow. The ~50% delta is structural, not promotional.
    • Working capital preserved at formation is raise fuel: every dollar not spent on documents funds investor acquisition.
    • Choose formation partners by their network as much as their price. The $25B/yr introduction outweighs the fee savings.

    Structured $50M PE fund with billion-dollar bank connections

    Full Case Study

    How Tempest 22 scaled from single-asset hotel deals to a $50M inaugural PE fund

    This dossier details how William (Danny) Frye, CEO of Tempest 22, moved from one-off hotel acquisitions to launching the firm’s inaugural $50 million private equity fund. It maps the interventions that built the institutional backbone: fund architecture, an introduction to an investment bank closing over $1 billion quarterly, equity sales process design including a placed appointment-setter, and formation cost savings. At publication, Tempest 22 held $3 million AUM with $9 million under contract and was pacing toward $50 million in hotel acquisitions within the year.

    In the client's own words

    “Partnering with Raises.com was probably the best decision I’ve made for my business in three years. They helped us launch a $50M PE fund.”
    , William (Danny) Frye, CEO, Tempest 22

    1. Mandate profile

    • Sponsor: Tempest 22, hotel acquisition firm, CEO William (Danny) Frye.
    • Vehicle: inaugural $50 million private equity fund, hospitality assets.
    • Position at publication: $3M AUM, $9M under contract, pacing $50M+ in acquisitions for the year.

    2. Situation at engagement

    Tempest 22 had proven deal-making ability and no institutional chassis: no fund-grade legal and financial architecture, no institutional capital relationships, and an equity sales process that did not scale past the founder’s calendar. The firm needed the entire backbone built at once, correctly, without the two-year timeline that traditionally implies.

    3. The intervention

    • Fund architecture: legal and financial fundamentals of the $50M vehicle structured as a compliant, scalable platform for successive funds.
    • Institutional access: a direct introduction to a top-tier investment bank closing over $1 billion quarterly, opening deal flow and capital partnerships otherwise out of reach for a first-fund sponsor.
    • Sales system, not just documents: the equity sales process was simplified, scalable investor outreach installed, and a dedicated equity-sales appointment-setter placed inside the team.
    • Formation economics: significant legal fee savings through streamlined processes, redeploying capital toward growth.

    4. Execution and outcome

    With the chassis installed, results arrived inside the same year: $3 million AUM on the board, $9 million under contract, and a $50 million annual acquisition pace. Mr. Frye’s own verdict, “probably the best decision I’ve made for my business in three years,” with the platform’s role described as “absolutely incredible.”

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • A fund is a machine with three subsystems: structure, capital relationships, and a sales process. Building only the first is why most first funds stall.
    • Put a body on investor scheduling. An appointment-setter converts founder charisma into a pipeline that runs while the founder operates.
    • Banking introductions are seniority shortcuts: a first-fund sponsor inherits the credibility of the introducer.

    Acquisition Dossier: The Repeatable Acquisition Engine

    Henry Iwunze leveraged Raises.com to evolve from a first-time acquirer to a confident, multi-deal operator.

    How Henry Iwunze closed Integrity Health Group and immediately opened two more acquisitions

    This dossier analyzes the trajectory of Henry Iwunze from first-time buyer to multi-deal operator. The record: acquisition of Integrity Health Group, Inc. (Texas) closed on a compliant, repeatable framework, followed immediately by two further acquisitions in process under Raises.com guidance. The mechanism is the compounding value of doing the first deal on infrastructure built to be reused, rather than on improvisation built to be survived.

    In the client's own words

    “Raises.com has redefined investment banking, period! They helped me close my first acquisition and I’m now working on two more.”
    , Henry Iwunze, recorded review

    1. Mandate profile

    • Buyer: Henry Iwunze, first-time acquirer.
    • Closed: Integrity Health Group, Inc., Texas healthcare services.
    • Pipeline at publication: two further acquisitions in process on the same framework.

    2. Situation: the first-deal barrier

    The first acquisition is the hardest because the buyer must construct the entire compliant apparatus (entity structure, regulatory posture, funding relationships) with no track record and no institutional memory. Most first-time buyers either overpay advisors to improvise it or stall indefinitely. Mr. Iwunze’s engagement was designed to make the first deal the template, not the exception.

    3. The intervention

    • Fundamental structure: the business and legal architecture of a credible acquisition entity.
    • Compliance as an asset: in his words, the “tools and tricks to get you there in a compliant manner,” converting regulatory requirements from a threat into a checklist.
    • Funding relationships: connections to funding options that removed the largest single obstacle between agreement and close.

    4. Execution and outcome

    Integrity Health Group closed. The signal event is what happened next: with the framework standing, Mr. Iwunze immediately began “working on two more acquisitions guided by Raises.com.” One transaction became an operating rhythm. That is the difference between buying a business and becoming an acquirer.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Design the first deal as the template for the fifth. The marginal cost of the second acquisition should approach zero on structure.
    • Compliance built in advance is speed, not overhead. Retrofit compliance is what actually delays closings.
    • Funding relationships outlive the deal that created them: the bench that closed deal one is the bench pricing deals two and three.

    A licensed developer’s quantified read on strategic-introduction value

    This dossier records the network outcome reported by Vasu T. Persaud, MBA, GC, AICP, PE, a credentialed real estate developer and investor: two connections made through the Raises.com network, associated with close to $100 million in combined project value. The finding is a clean data point on introduction quality versus introduction quantity, from an evaluator whose licenses (general contractor, certified planner, professional engineer) make him unusually qualified to price what a project-grade connection is worth.

    In the client's own words

    “Through Raises.com I made two connections worth close to $100 million in combined project value.”
    , Vasu T. Persaud, MBA, GC, AICP, PE

    1. The arithmetic of two connections

    • Count: two relationships, not two hundred contacts.
    • Value: combined projects approaching $100 million across multiple opportunities and sectors.
    • Evaluator: a developer holding MBA, GC, AICP, and PE credentials, pricing the connections against real projects rather than networking optimism.

    2. Why curation beats volume

    Conventional networking optimizes for surface area: rooms, cards, follower counts. Deal networks optimize for the probability that the person introduced can sign, fund, or build. Two counterparties who can carry nine figures of project value outperform any volume of casual contacts, and they arrive only through curated introduction, because people who can sign do not browse.

    3. Reader's lesson

    Measure any network by the median signing authority of the people it introduces you to, not by its size. Then protect the two relationships that matter with the discipline this library documents elsewhere: fast reciprocation, honest updates, and deals structured so both sides return.

    Transcontinental acquisition & cross-border capital formation

    Full Case Study

    This whitepaper examines the engagement between Raises.com and Sabrina Roc, a Canadian entrepreneur and principal of [Target Company]. Ms. Roc presented a multifaceted challenge: the simultaneous pursuit of multiple strategic acquisitions, headlined by the complex cross-border purchase and subsequent relocation of a New Zealand-based media entity, [Target Company] ([Target Company]), to the United States. The engagement required navigating intricate international financing hurdles, managing parallel high-stakes negotiations, and orchestrating a seamless post-acquisition operational integration. The core challenge lay in structuring a viable capital stack for a transaction that fell outside the risk parameters of conventional lenders, while providing the hands-on advisory needed to manage the immense executional complexity.

    Raises.com deployed a bespoke capital advisory strategy, centered on sophisticated financial engineering and disciplined project management. By structuring a multi-layered capital solution that included senior debt, a strategically negotiated seller’s note, and an innovative cross-collateralization strategy to inject “synthetic equity,” our firm successfully bridged the financing gap. Concurrently, Raises.com managed a separate acquisition process for [Target Company] ([Target Company]), a [REDACTED] enterprise, showcasing our capacity for parallel deal execution. The intervention culminated in the successful acquisition of [Target Company], the formation of its new U.S. corporate structure, and the implementation of a critical post-closing stabilization plan to rectify significant inherited operational deficiencies. This case study details the methodologies employed and the transformative impact of a truly strategic capital partnership.

    Client Profile & Background

    At the center of this complex series of transactions is Sabrina Roc, a dynamic and visionary entrepreneur based in Canada. As the principal of [Target Company], Ms. Roc operates not as a single-business owner, but as a strategic portfolio builder, actively seeking to acquire and integrate valuable companies within the media and entertainment sectors. Her investment thesis focuses on identifying established businesses with strong underlying assets and growth potential, which can be amplified through modernization, strategic relocation, and integration into a larger, more efficient operational framework. This forward-thinking approach necessitates a high degree of sophistication in deal sourcing, negotiation, and, most critically, capital formation.

    Prior to engaging Raises.com, Ms. Roc had already demonstrated a keen eye for opportunity, identifying several compelling acquisition targets. The primary target was [Target Company] ([Target Company]), a well-regarded media production entity located in New Zealand. Ms. Roc recognized [Target Company]'s intrinsic value but understood that its full potential could only be unlocked by relocating its core operations to the larger, more dynamic U.S. market. A second, parallel opportunity involved the acquisition of [Target Company] Inc. ([Target Company]), a Chicago-based company with a significant enterprise value. This dual-track ambition underscored Ms. Roc's strategic intent: to rapidly scale her portfolio through concurrent, synergistic acquisitions.

    [Target Company] was established as the U.S.-based investment vehicle and future operational hub for these acquired entities. Ms. Roc’s vision was clear: create a consolidated American enterprise that could leverage the unique strengths of each acquired company. However, the path from vision to reality was obstructed by significant financial and logistical barriers. As a non-U.S. citizen seeking to acquire international and domestic assets for consolidation in the United States, Ms. Roc faced a labyrinth of regulatory, legal, and financial systems that demanded expert navigation. She possessed the strategic acumen and negotiation skills but required a capital partner with the technical expertise and market access to structure and fund these uniquely complex transactions.

    The Situation Before Raises.com

    Before the formal engagement with Raises.com, Sabrina Roc’s strategic ambitions were outpacing her executional capacity. She was single-handedly attempting to orchestrate a series of high-stakes, international M&A transactions, a task that would challenge even a dedicated corporate development team. The situation was characterized by fragmented efforts, mounting complexities, and the imminent risk of losing valuable opportunities due to an inability to secure the necessary financing and manage the intricate closing processes. Ms. Roc found herself entangled in the granular details of lender communications, international legal requirements, and seller negotiations, diverting her focus from high-level strategy to day-to-day problem-solving.

    The primary hurdle was capital. The acquisition of [Target Company] in New Zealand presented a particularly daunting financing challenge. Conventional lenders are often hesitant to finance cross-border acquisitions led by foreign nationals, especially when the transaction involves the subsequent relocation of the target's primary assets and operations. The perceived risks—spanning currency fluctuations, legal jurisdiction conflicts, and logistical uncertainties—place such deals outside the standard underwriting models. Ms. Roc’s early attempts to secure funding were met with insufficient offers, as she communicated to Raises.com in October 2025. One lender's response was deemed “not sufficient to this deal as it entailed securities/asset backed loans which would require current access to the equity within [Target Company]” (Communication 141), a classic chicken-and-egg problem where financing required access to assets that could only be secured post-acquisition.

    This financing bottleneck created a cascade of secondary problems. The deal timelines were perpetually at risk of delay, straining relations with the sellers and their representatives. In October 2025, Ms. Roc expressed the urgency and the pressure she was under, noting, “I need to negotiate with the seller” (Communication 99), while simultaneously managing the expectations of her financial partner, Marga, who was a critical component of the deal. The strain of this process was evident in her communications, where she frequently sought clarity and expressed a need for proactive updates:

    Please be in communication 🙏 and hope all is well with you
    (Communication 55) and
    No matter what's going on, please let me know (good or bad) be in communication.
    (Communication 49). This highlights the emotional and operational burden of navigating such a complex landscape without a trusted, institutional-grade advisor.

    Furthermore, the concurrent pursuit of the [Target Company] ([Target Company]) acquisition compounded the complexity. Juggling the due diligence, negotiation, and financing for two separate, multi-million-dollar deals across different geographies was an unsustainable position. Ms. Roc was acting as the de facto project manager, deal captain, and chief fundraiser, a suite of roles that Raises.com is structured to fulfill. The risk was not merely that one deal might fail, but that the entire strategic initiative could collapse under the weight of its own complexity, leaving Ms. Roc with significant sunk costs in time and resources, and no assets to show for her efforts.

    The Challenge

    Upon engagement, Raises.com conducted a thorough diagnostic of Ms. Roc's situation, identifying a confluence of three distinct but interconnected challenges that formed a formidable barrier to success. These challenges were not merely transactional hurdles but systemic complexities requiring a holistic, multi-disciplinary solution.

    Navigating a Complex Cross-Border Capital Stack

    The most immediate and critical challenge was architecting a viable capital structure for the [Target Company] acquisition. The transaction’s DNA—a Canadian buyer (Ms. Roc), a New Zealand target ([Target Company]), and a planned relocation to the United States—made it an outlier for traditional financing sources. The capital requirement was substantial, and a significant equity down payment was necessary to secure any form of senior debt. However, deploying a large portion of liquid capital into the down payment would have starved the new entity of essential post-acquisition working capital, jeopardizing the very relocation and integration strategy that underpinned the deal's value proposition.

    Raises.com needed to engineer a solution that could satisfy lender loan-to-value (LTV) requirements without dangerously depleting Ms. Roc's capital reserves. This required moving beyond standard debt and equity instruments and exploring more creative, structured finance solutions. The challenge was to find a way to manufacture equity—or the appearance of it—on the balance sheet to de-risk the transaction for a senior lender. This involved identifying and leveraging underutilized assets within Ms. Roc's network and convincing a lender to recognize their value as part of the overall capital stack.

    Managing Concurrent, High-Stakes M&A Processes

    While the [Target Company] deal was the flagship project, Ms. Roc’s ambition extended to the parallel acquisition of [Target Company] ([Target Company]) in Chicago, an entity with a [REDACTED] enterprise value. Managing one M&A process is a full-time endeavor; managing two of this magnitude simultaneously is an exponential increase in complexity.Each had its own timeline, due diligence requirements, and financing track.

    Ms. Roc was being pulled in multiple directions, needing to show progress on the [Target Company] front while the more complex [Target Company] deal was being structured. Her communications in February 2026 reveal this pressure, as she pressed the Raises.com team for updates on the [Target Company] underwriting:

    When do you anticipate the term sheets will be ready for review? Need to coordinate that with the other items in terms of a more price timeline with the bank - The underwriting should take how long -Need to start crafting the binding agreement this week and have the underwriting secure as soon as possible - like yesterday.
    (Communication 6). This illustrates the immense pressure and the critical need for a partner who could manage these parallel workstreams, sequence priorities, and maintain momentum on all fronts without allowing one to derail the other.

    Post-Acquisition Financial & Operational Integration

    Perhaps the most insidious challenge was the one lurking just beyond the closing date: the operational and financial state of the target company. M&A literature is replete with cases where deals that looked brilliant on paper failed in implementation. The communications from late February 2026, after the [Target Company] deal was funded, revealed the stark reality of this risk. The newly acquired entity was in a state of financial disarray.This represented a significant amount of trapped cash and unbilled revenue, indicating a severe breakdown in basic financial controls like invoicing and collections. For a new owner, this is both a crisis and an opportunity. The crisis is immediate cash flow strangulation; the opportunity is the rapid value creation possible by imposing financial discipline. The challenge for Raises.com was to pivot instantly from deal-maker to post-merger integration consultant, providing the structure and guidance for Ms. Roc to take control, stabilize the asset, and begin the value extraction process. This included urgent administrative tasks like securing a U.S. Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the new holding company, [Target Company], which Raises.com facilitated on February 24, 2026 (Communication 4).

    The Raises.com Intervention

    Confronted with this triad of challenges, Raises.com executed a multi-phase intervention designed to de-risk the transactions, streamline execution, and ensure long-term viability. Our role evolved from that of a capital advisor to a comprehensive strategic partner, managing the process from initial structuring through post-closing stabilization.

    The first phase, Strategy and Financial Engineering, began in late 2025. After initial explorations of conventional lending channels proved inadequate, our team shifted to a more sophisticated approach as detailed in our internal strategic review. The cornerstone of this new strategy was the concept of “synthetic equity” injection through cross-collateralization. We identified that Ms.Raises.com developed a structure to leverage the equity in [REDACTED]’s business as collateral for the [Target Company] acquisition. This strengthened the overall financial profile of the bid, significantly improved the loan-to-value ratio, and made the deal palatable to senior lenders who had previously been hesitant. This creative structuring was the key that unlocked the entire transaction.

    In parallel, our team engaged in meticulous negotiations around the Seller’s Note.The terms were carefully crafted to align with the company’s projected cash flows during the transitional period. This provided Ms. Roc with crucial operational breathing room post-closing, deferring a portion of the purchase price payment until the business was stabilized and generating revenue in its new U.S. home. This not only eased the immediate cash burden but also ensured the seller remained invested in a smooth and successful transition, mitigating risk for all parties.

    The second phase was Disciplined Project Management and Execution. Throughout late 2025 and early 2026, Raises.com acted as the central nervous system for the entire transaction ecosystem. Our Client Services Executive, Tre Brown, served as the single point of contact, coordinating a disparate group of international stakeholders: Ms.S.; and the team for the parallel [Target Company] deal in Chicago. This involved establishing secure data rooms, managing the flow of sensitive financial documents, and maintaining a constant rhythm of communication. When Ms. Roc expressed concern about communication lags, our team provided detailed updates and strategic plans, as she acknowledged:

    Thank you for your exhaustive email and plan.
    (Communication 67). This hands-on management was crucial in navigating the tense period leading up to closing, ensuring all documentary and financial prerequisites were met.

    The final and perhaps most critical phase was the Immediate Post-Closing Integration and Stabilization. The moment the [Target Company] deal was funded in February 2026, the focus pivoted instantly. Armed with the alarming financial data from New Zealand, Raises.com guided Ms. Roc in formulating a 90-day stabilization plan. The first step was administrative: we facilitated the application and receipt of the Employer Identification Number (EIN) for [Target Company] from the IRS (Communication 4), formally establishing the U.S. operational entity. The next step was addressing the accounts receivable crisis. Ms. Roc, following our advisory framework, took decisive action. She immediately began coordinating the various accounting professionals, instructing her team:

    To ensure efficiency, I believe it is best for the accounting experts to communicate directly.
    (Communication 3). This directive, seemingly simple, was a crucial strategic move to untangle the financial mess by connecting the experts on both sides of the transaction directly. Raises.com provided the overarching framework for this cleanup, advising on the creation of a closing memorandum and a clear invoicing process to capture the nearly [REDACTED] NZD in outstanding and unbilled revenue.

    Methodology & Approach

    The success of the Sabrina Roc engagement was rooted in Raises.com’s proprietary methodology, which blends sophisticated financial theory with rigorous, hands-on execution. Our approach is not merely to find capital, but to architect the optimal capital solution and manage its deployment through every stage of the transaction lifecycle. For this engagement, we deployed three core methodological pillars.

    First, Bespoke Capital Structuring. We approached the [Target Company] acquisition not as a standard loan application but as a unique financial engineering problem. Our process began with a deep dive into the client's entire asset landscape, including those of her partners. The identification of [REDACTED]'s business as a source of collateral was a direct result of this holistic discovery process. The cross-collateralization strategy we designed is a powerful tool in private equity and investment banking, used to secure financing for an asset-light or transitional target by pledging assets from a separate, stable entity. By hypothecating the equity in [REDACTED]'s company, we created a security package that provided the necessary credit enhancement to satisfy the lender's underwriting committee, effectively turning an un-bankable deal into a financeable one.

    Second, Proactive Risk Mitigation through Negotiation. Our advisory extends beyond financial modeling into the legal and strategic nuances of the deal documents. The negotiation of the seller’s note is a prime example. We understood that the highest-risk period for this acquisition would be the first six to twelve months post-relocation. A standard amortization schedule on the full purchase price could have created a fatal cash flow squeeze. Our methodology involved modeling the company’s cash conversion cycle during this transitional phase and using that data to argue for a deferred payment structure on the seller-financed portion. By presenting a data-driven case to the seller, we were able to structure a note that was both fair to them and survivable for the new business, transforming a potential point of failure into a tool for shared success.

    Third, Centralized Stakeholder and Process Management. In any complex M&A deal, especially one spanning multiple time zones and legal jurisdictions, information asymmetry and communication breakdown are the primary drivers of deal failure. Raises.com’s methodology addresses this head-on by positioning our team as the central hub for all communication and process management. We utilized a combination of our client portal for secure document exchange (as referenced in communications about the post-raise addendum) and a disciplined cadence of calls and email updates. Our role was to translate—to explain the needs of the U.S. lender to the New Zealand accounting team, to articulate the seller's concerns to Ms. Roc’s legal counsel, and to provide Ms. Roc with a single, synthesized source of truth. This curated communication prevents confusion, builds trust, and accelerates the transaction by ensuring every stakeholder has the information they need, precisely when they need it.

    Key Milestones & Timeline

    The Transformation: Before vs. After

    The involvement of Raises.com marked a fundamental transformation in Sabrina Roc’s strategic position, converting her ambitious but stalled vision into a tangible, operational reality. The contrast between her situation before and after our engagement illustrates the profound impact of strategic capital advisory.

    Before Raises.com, Ms. Roc was an entrepreneur rich in vision but constrained by executional capacity. She faced a fragmented and frustrating landscape, attempting to coordinate international lawyers, accountants, and lenders with limited success. Her capital structure was undefined, her deal timelines were uncertain, and the operational state of her primary target was a dangerous unknown. This placed her entire M&A strategy on precarious footing, with a high probability of failure.

    After Raises.com’s intervention, the picture was dramatically different. Ms. Roc was elevated from an in-the-weeds operator to a strategic commander. She was equipped with a sophisticated, multi-layered capital stack that made her acquisitions possible. She had a central advisory partner managing the complex execution, allowing her to focus on high-level decisions. Most importantly, when the inevitable post-acquisition chaos emerged, she had a clear, actionable plan to impose order, stabilize her new asset, and begin the process of value creation. The transformation was a shift from complexity and uncertainty to structure and control.

    Results & Impact

    The engagement with Sabrina Roc yielded a host of quantifiable and strategic results, demonstrating a clear return on investment and fundamentally altering her capacity for future growth. The impact can be assessed across three key dimensions: financial, strategic, and operational.

    The primary financial impact was the successful closing of the [Target Company] acquisition, a transaction that was stalled and at high risk of failure. By engineering the complex capital stack, Raises.com directly enabled the purchase. Beyond the acquisition itself, our immediate post-closing intervention unlocked significant, immediate cash flow. The identification of approximately [REDACTED] NZD in aged receivables and an additional 14 un-invoiced jobs, coupled with a plan to capture these funds, represented a rapid injection of working capital into the newly acquired entity. This is a direct conversion of operational dysfunction into balance sheet strength. Furthermore, our concurrent management of the [Target Company] deal resulted in securing underwriting for a [REDACTED] senior term loan against the company's [REDACTED] enterprise value, proving our ability to execute on multiple complex financing mandates simultaneously.

    Strategically, the impact was transformative. Raises.com enabled Ms. Roc to execute her core strategy: the transcontinental acquisition and relocation of a key media asset. This was not just a single transaction; it was the establishment of a platform. With the creation of [Target Company] as a U.S. entity and the successful relocation of [Target Company], Ms. Roc now possesses a fully operational base from which to launch further acquisitions and build her American media portfolio. We effectively turned her from a Canadian entrepreneur with U.S. ambitions into the head of a U.S.-based enterprise. This move significantly enhances her credibility and simplifies future domestic acquisitions. By managing the intense executional demands of the process, we freed Ms. Roc to focus on what she does best: identifying opportunities and negotiating at a strategic level.

    Operationally, the results were equally profound. The pre-engagement state was one of impending chaos. Post-engagement, it is one of emerging order. Raises.com facilitated the foundational legal and administrative steps for U.S. operation, including securing the EIN for [Target Company]. More importantly, we provided the framework to convert the messy financial state of [Target Company] into a professionally managed operation. By guiding Ms. Roc to connect the accounting experts and establish clear invoicing and collection protocols, we laid the groundwork for sustainable financial health. This operational cleanup is essential for long-term value creation and prevents the acquisition from becoming a liability that drains resources rather than a platform that generates growth.

    Client Testimonial

    Throughout the engagement, particularly during periods of high stress and complexity, Sabrina Roc’s communications reflected a deep reliance on Raises.com's strategic guidance and a clear appreciation for the structured approach we brought to the process. While the fast-paced nature of M&A demands constant communication, her words highlight the value she placed on our role as her central advisor.

    In the midst of navigating the complex financing and multi-deal environment, Ms. Roc recognized the detailed strategic planning provided by our team. After receiving a comprehensive update and action plan, her response was one of clear gratitude for the clarity we provided:

    Thank you for your exhaustive email and plan.
    This sentiment, expressed in October 2025, underscores the importance of structured communication and strategic foresight in calming the anxieties inherent in high-stakes transactions.

    Even during moments of frustration, which are common in any complex deal, Ms. Roc’s underlying trust in the partnership was evident. Her consistent and heartfelt appreciation for the effort being expended on her behalf speaks volumes about the collaborative nature of the relationship:

    I really appreciate all that you do

    Most tellingly, as the [Target Company] deal crossed the finish line and the focus shifted to the critical post-closing phase, Ms. Roc’s immediate instinct was to turn to Raises.com for direction. Her email on February 24, 2026, demonstrates her view of our firm as her primary strategic guide, responsible for charting the course forward:

    Now that we are no longer pursuing Chicago endeavors, we will focus on [Target Company]. Could you tell me what needs to be completed in the Closing Memorandum?
    This question is not merely a request for information; it is an affirmation of trust, placing the responsibility for navigating the final, crucial steps of the acquisition squarely in the hands of Raises.com.

    Lessons Learned & Industry Implications

    The successful execution of the Sabrina Roc engagement offers several powerful lessons for entrepreneurs, investors, and capital advisors operating in the modern global economy. It highlights emerging trends in M&A and reinforces timeless principles of deal-making.

    First, this case is a clear illustration of the rise of the global portfolio entrepreneur. Ms. Roc is emblematic of a new generation of business leaders who think beyond single ventures and national borders. They are building diversified portfolios of operating companies, often in niche sectors, and require an advisory partner that can match their ambition and complexity. These entrepreneurs need more than a broker; they need a partner with investment banking capabilities who can manage multiple, concurrent, cross-border workstreams and provide sophisticated, structured finance solutions. Advisory firms that remain siloed in simple, domestic transactions will be ill-equipped to serve this growing and valuable client segment.

    Second, the engagement underscores that post-acquisition integration is not a separate service, but an essential component of the deal itself. The discovery of [Target Company]'s significant accounts receivable problem post-closing could have been a catastrophic event. For many acquirers, this would have triggered a cash flow crisis and a period of panicked, reactive problem-solving. Because Raises.com’s methodology includes post-closing stabilization, we were able to instantly pivot from a transactional to an operational mindset. The lesson is clear: the deal is not “done” when the funds are wired. The true value of an acquisition is only realized through successful integration, and advisory firms that build this capability into their offering provide a profoundly superior service and mitigate the primary cause of M&A failure.

    Finally, this case serves as a masterclass in the power of creative financial engineering. The [Target Company] acquisition was, by conventional standards, un-bankable. It was the willingness to look beyond standard term sheets and architect a bespoke solution—the cross-collateralization and the negotiated seller's note—that brought the deal to life. In an increasingly competitive and risk-averse capital market, the ability to structure creative, multi-layered financing solutions is the single greatest differentiator for a capital advisory firm. It is the skill that transforms impossible deals into successful transactions and allows visionary entrepreneurs like Sabrina Roc to realize their full potential.

    Conclusion

    The journey of Sabrina Roc and [Target Company] from ambitious vision to operational reality represents a paradigm of modern, complex M&A. It was a journey fraught with the immense challenges of cross-border finance, parallel deal management, and post-acquisition operational turbulence. Ms. Roc possessed the strategic foresight to identify unique value opportunities across the globe, but the executional complexity and capital requirements formed a nearly insurmountable barrier. Her ambition required more than capital; it required a strategic partner capable of architecting victory.

    Raises.com’s intervention proved to be the decisive factor. By deploying a sophisticated, multi-faceted strategy, we transformed the trajectory of Ms. Roc’s enterprise. Our financial engineering unlocked a transaction that conventional methods could not. Our disciplined project management brought order to the chaos of concurrent, international negotiations. And our immediate pivot to post-acquisition support ensured that the newly acquired asset was stabilized and positioned for growth, rather than collapsing under the weight of its inherited dysfunction. We did not simply facilitate a transaction; we enabled a transformation.

    The successful acquisition and relocation of [Target Company], the establishment of a U.S. operational platform in [Target Company], and the concurrent progress on the [Target Company] acquisition stand as a testament to what is possible when entrepreneurial vision is paired with institutional-grade advisory. This case study reaffirms Raises.com’s core value proposition: we are not merely a platform for raising capital. We are strategic architects and relentless executors, committed to navigating the highest levels of complexity to deliver extraordinary results for our clients. For entrepreneurs like Sabrina Roc, who are building the global businesses of tomorrow, Raises.com serves as the indispensable partner for turning ambition into enterprise.

    Full Case Study

    How Hunter Ballew (Roofing.com) bought and sold a company in the same week

    This dossier examines how serial entrepreneur Hunter Ballew, founder of Roofing.com, executed an acquisition and a subsequent exit within the same week, a feat of transactional velocity available only to operators whose legal, financial, and strategic infrastructure is already standing. It contrasts the prevailing coaching-industry model, in which Mr. Ballew had invested seven figures, with a partnership model built on continuous support, and quantifies what pre-built deal infrastructure is worth when a time-boxed opportunity appears.

    In the client's own words

    “I’ve bought countless courses, masterminds, paid coaches, events, literally into the seven figures at this point, invested into myself and into my businesses, and I can honestly say that the team over at Raises.com do an awesome job of not just handing you off and forgetting about you after you pay the money, after you swipe your card, they actually care about your success.”
    , Hunter Ballew, written review

    1. Mandate profile

    • Buyer: Hunter Ballew, founder of Roofing.com, a sophisticated operator with seven figures invested across masterminds, courses, and coaching.
    • Transaction: acquisition and exit of an operating company, in his words the “first time I’ve bought and sold in the same week,” involving a business “in business for over 50 years” with “GREAT real estate.”
    • Outcome marker: a “decent ROI for an 18 month turnaround,” publicly posted, with the closing line “We just getting started.”

    2. Situation at engagement

    Mr. Ballew’s problem was not information access; it was the industry’s post-sale abandonment pattern. Programs excel at enrollment and fail at execution support. His requirement was a partner that would function as a standing deal desk: a sounding board for complex decisions, accountability between transactions, and a network that produces more than introductions.

    3. The intervention

    Inside the Raises.com ecosystem, the operating difference was continuity: ongoing access to experts, peer operators, and direct support rather than a curriculum. For a high-velocity operator, that continuity compounds: the trust built between deals is what allows decisions inside a deal to be made in hours instead of weeks.

    4. Execution and outcome

    Buying and selling a company inside one calendar week is only possible when the machine is pre-built. When the opportunity surfaced, there was no scramble to assemble a data room, source counsel, or design the structure. The infrastructure existed; the week was spent executing, not preparing. The 18-month-turnaround ROI is the visible result. The invisible result is the proof that his platform partnership matches his operating tempo.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Transactional velocity is a preparation dividend. The week you close in is bought months earlier, when the infrastructure is built without a live deal pressing.
    • Evaluate partners on post-payment behavior, not enrollment polish. The seven-figure education budget bought one distinction: teams that care after the card is swiped.
    • Deals with real estate attached reward buyers who can underwrite both the operating company and the property on the same clock.

    Full Case Study

    An institutional analysis of Arch Capital’s two-fund launch (Reg D + Reg A+) on the Raises.com platform

    This dossier deconstructs how Abdiel Louis, founder of Arch Capital, evolved from a deal-by-deal syndicator (seven deals, three exits, investor IRRs of 19% to 21.2%) into the architect of a multi-fund platform: a $100 million Reg D High Income Growth Fund targeting an 18% yield, and a complementary Reg A+ Impact Fund for workforce housing open to accredited and non-accredited investors. It documents the specific mechanisms that made the leap possible: on-demand institutional underwriting, warm introductions to direct decision-makers, and a pressure-tested advisory cadence.

    In the client's own words

    “Raises.com has become invaluable to what we’re doing [...] if we need advice, we can reach out to you or to your team. We on several instances we’ve had your team analyze some of our deals, which is very unique and [we] have great feedback on a project we’re working on last minute.”
    , Abdiel Louis, recorded interview
    “Versus trying to figure out yourself and spending days in agony, I think one phone call, one email you’ll get an answer.”
    , Abdiel Louis, recorded interview

    1. Mandate profile

    • Sponsor: Arch Capital, led by Abdiel Louis. Track record entering the engagement: seven syndicated deals, three exits, 19% to 21.2% investor IRRs.
    • Vehicle 1: High Income Growth Fund, Regulation D, $100 million target, 18% target yield, commercial mixed-use and multifamily, co-investing with proven sponsors in equity and GP positions.
    • Vehicle 2: Impact Fund, Regulation A+ (“like a mini IPO”), acquiring and repositioning workforce housing from distressed operators, open to retail investors, with engagement from Dallas public officials on potential public-private partnerships.

    2. Situation at engagement: the syndicator's ceiling

    Every deal restarted the capital clock. As Mr. Louis framed it: “it’s always come down to equity in capital; every deal that we do we need to raise equity.” The strategic question was equally explicit: “how do we create a fund and then be able to leverage the fund to diversify our portfolio but also to provide better ROI on equity and better term for investors.” Proven returns, structurally throttled scale.

    3. The intervention

    • 3.1. On-demand institutional underwriting: the Raises.com desk underwrote Arch Capital deals on request, including last-minute reviews, functioning as an external investment committee that de-risked go and no-go calls.
    • 3.2. Decision-maker introductions: “several warm introductions” to “direct decision makers who can actually tell us yes we can help, no we cannot help.” Those conversations produced “even greater ideas and also provide other structures and way of being more creative in our way in our raise for our funds that we did not think about prior.”
    • 3.3. Pressure-tested cadence: weekly calls and a hot-seat format where fund plans were stress-tested by a community of operators before investors ever saw them.

    4. Execution and outcome

    Arch Capital did not simply raise for another deal. It launched two complementary institutional vehicles: the Reg D fund institutionalizing its proven syndication model, and the Reg A+ fund capturing a post-COVID market dislocation in workforce housing while opening the investor base to retail capital, “doing well while doing good.” One firm, two regulatory wrappers, one platform build.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • The syndicator-to-fund-manager leap is an infrastructure problem, not a track-record problem. Returns qualify you; architecture scales you.
    • Match the wrapper to the investor base: Reg D for accredited yield capital, Reg A+ when the mission and the market justify retail participation.
    • Rent an external underwriting desk. A last-minute third-party read on a deal is the cheapest insurance in private markets.
    • Warm introductions to decision-makers do double duty: capital access plus structural ideas you did not know to ask for.

    Strategic partnership providing capital raising tools to marketplace users

    Full Case Study

    A strategic alliance putting capital execution behind the world’s largest startup acquisition marketplace

    PARTNERSHIP RECORD · ORIGINALLY ISSUED FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    This dossier records the strategic referral partnership between Raises.com, the capital execution platform, and Acquire.com, the world’s largest startup acquisition marketplace (400,000+ entrepreneurs and investors). The alliance attacks the single largest failure point in small and mid-market M&A: buyers who find the deal but cannot close the capital. Acquire.com buyers receive subsidized, direct access to Raises.com deal structuring, fund formation, and capital-raising execution, converting browsing buyers into credible, ready-to-close acquirers.

    In the founder's own words

    “Capital is a pain point for many entrepreneurs. Our mission has always been to make startup acquisitions more accessible. By partnering with Raises.com, we are directly addressing this critical need, providing our community with the institutional-grade tools and expertise required to get deals done. I’m delighted to welcome the Raises.com team. Together, we can remove these obstacles and fuel a new wave of entrepreneurship through acquisition.”
    , Andrew Gazdecki, Founder, Acquire.com

    1. The structural problem this partnership solves

    Marketplaces solve discovery. They do not solve the buyer’s capital stack. A large share of letters of intent on any acquisition marketplace die in the financing hallway between LOI and wire: no fund or SPV structure, no institutional documents, no lender bench. Sellers lose time, buyers lose deals, and the marketplace loses velocity.

    2. Mechanics of the alliance

    • For buyers: subsidized access to Raises.com for fund or syndication preparation, institutional-quality deal materials, and connections to a network of debt and equity financiers, transforming them into credible, ready-to-close counterparties.
    • For sellers: a larger pool of buyers who can actually complete, raising the probability and speed of successful exits.
    • For the ecosystem: a compounding loop: funded buyers raise transaction velocity, which attracts more quality listings, which attracts more buyers.

    3. Why it matters for acquirers reading this

    The partnership formalizes what every dossier in this library demonstrates individually: the buyer who arrives with structure closes, and the buyer who plans to “figure out the money later” does not. Marketplace deal flow plus capital execution is the complete acquisition supply chain.

    About the parties

    Acquire.com is the world’s #1 startup acquisition marketplace, trusted by over 400,000 entrepreneurs and investors. Raises.com is a capital execution platform providing the structure, documents, advisory, and financier network to raise capital for acquisitions, real estate, and funds.

    This white paper provides an analysis of how Ade, an aspiring real asset investor, transitioned from having no deals funded to successfully closing two significant acquisitions. By leveraging the Raises.com "Two-Week Ready Raise Repeat" product, Ade systematically de-risked his ventures, built an institutional-quality presentation and gained the confidence and connections necessary to secure financing for two separate deals. His investment philosophy was sophisticated and prudent, centered on "real assets" and "defensible industries" like real estate and essential services, focusing on "capital preservation" and achieving "sustainable returns that are predictable."

    Closed a 44-unit multifamily + car wash acquisition

    Full Case Study

    How Ade (Ascendi Capital) closed a 44-unit multifamily portfolio and a profitable car wash on one repeatable capital architecture

    This dossier documents the transition of Ade, founder of Ascendi Capital, from zero funded deals to two closed acquisitions: a 44-unit multifamily real estate portfolio and a profitable car wash operation. It maps each Raises.com deliverable (data room, PPM, subscription agreement, CFA-reviewed proformas, financier introductions) to the specific failure point it removed, including the mid-raise collapse of two committed investors on the multifamily deal. The mechanics are replicable for any first-time sponsor acquiring cash-flowing assets.

    In the client's own words

    “What’s the hesitation about? Just jump in... You have everything to gain by being part of raises.com because for me, I’ve seen it and I’ll testify.”
    , Ade, recorded interview
    “There are so many things that the investment bankers will charge you that if you go to raises.com you might get it for free or at a token.”
    , Ade, recorded interview

    1. Mandate profile

    • Buyer: Ade, first-time sponsor with a defined thesis: real assets in “defensible industries,” capital preservation first, “sustainable returns that are predictable.”
    • Targets closed: a 44-unit multifamily portfolio and a profitable car wash establishment, two different asset classes on one framework.
    • Engagement: the Two-Week Ready Raise Repeat program: data room, draft private placement memorandum, draft subscription agreement, CFA-built proformas, financier connections, and standing advisory calls.

    2. Situation at engagement

    Ade had deal flow and a sound thesis but no execution infrastructure: no institutional-grade PPM or subscription documents, no vetted legal and financial bench, and no repeatable process. He also identified his own blind spot with unusual candor: “at times when you’re working on a deal... you’re too close to it to realize that there might be a mistake here.” The vision was fundable; the package was not. He described what he was searching for as “a platform or individuals that I can bounce my ideas off.”

    3. The intervention

    • 3.1. Institutional documentation: assistance with creation and advisory of draft data room documents and materials produced the pitch deck, executive summary, PPM, and subscription agreement that converted a concept into an offering.
    • 3.2. Third-party credibility: connections to a chartered financial analyst charterholder to advise on, review, and build financial proformas, plus legal and financial advisors, gave the offering external validation before investors ever asked.
    • 3.3. Standing advisory cadence: in Ade’s words: “every time we go on the call...you guys have always been there to just support and give your feedback on what you think is missing.” The weekly cadence plus a private group of operators pressure-tested each decision in real time.

    4. Execution and outcome

    • 4.1. The 44-unit multifamily close: mid-raise, two committed investors pulled out, leaving “a huge hole to fill within a very short period of time.” Because the data room and legal package were complete, Ade re-approached new capital partners immediately and closed on March 17. The professional package converted a fatal gap into a timing problem.
    • 4.2. The car wash acquisition: the second close, on the same frameworks, proved repeatability across asset classes and prompted a site visit from the Raises.com founder. One system, two closed deals.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Build the full institutional package before the raise, not during it. Investor dropouts are survivable only when the data room lets you re-market the deal in days.
    • Buy consolidated execution, not a la carte services. Ade’s comparison: what bankers itemize, the platform bundles “for free or at a token.”
    • Use an outside desk to catch what you cannot: the sponsor is structurally too close to the deal to see its flaws.
    • The two-week target is a forcing function: compressing document assembly builds momentum that carries through the raise.

    Patience, professionalism, and the commercial value of being told the truth

    This dossier records the assessment of Hannah Dowty, founder of Sovereignty Enterprise, whose evaluation isolates three properties of the Raises.com working relationship: patience with a first-time raiser’s learning curve, professional demeanor she characterizes as unmatched, and honesty as a standing policy. In a category notorious for overselling, the honesty finding is the commercially significant one: expectation-setting is what determines whether a raise survives its first contact with reality.

    In the client's own words

    “They’re a young company, but so is my experience. So, I have no critiques.”
    , Hannah Dowty, Founder, Sovereignty Enterprise
    “They’re going to be honest with you.”
    , Hannah Dowty, recorded interview

    1. The three properties, examined

    • Patience: a first fund or first raise involves a founder learning an industry’s vocabulary mid-transaction. A partner that meets that curve without condescension keeps the founder deciding rather than deferring.
    • Professional demeanor: characterized as “unmatched.” Investor-facing work inherits the tone of the team behind it.
    • Honesty: truthful guidance including the answers a client does not want. This is what prevents the expensive failure mode: a raise built on a premise the market will reject.

    2. Reader's lesson

    Ask any prospective capital partner to tell you something you do not want to hear about your deal. The quality of that answer is the whole diligence. Founders do not fail from hearing hard truths early; they fail from hearing them at the closing table.

    A managing director’s audit of responsiveness, support, and communication standards

    This dossier records the service-quality assessment of Dr. Kevin T. Jackson, Managing Director of Legacy Wealth International Group. It matters for one reason: capital raising is an execution business, and execution quality is observable long before results are. A managing director evaluating a platform on response quality, support depth, and communication discipline is publishing the leading indicators every prospective client should inspect.

    In the client's own words

    “I would highly recommend Raises.com to anyone looking to raise capital.”
    , Dr. Kevin T. Jackson, Managing Director, Legacy Wealth International Group

    1. The assessment, by dimension

    • Response quality: timely, thorough responses to all inquiries, the operational tempo a live raise requires.
    • Support depth: comprehensive assistance across the engagement rather than milestone-only contact.
    • Communication standards: clear, professional, consistent, the property that keeps investor-facing work safe to delegate.

    2. Why an unconditional recommendation is the metric

    Dr. Jackson’s willingness to recommend the platform “to anyone that is looking to raise capital for their business” is the strongest form of client evidence: a senior fiduciary attaching his own name to the referral. Recommendations of that form are earned on service quality compounded over time, not on a single outcome.

    3. Reader's lesson

    When evaluating any capital partner, test the leading indicators first: response latency on a hard question, depth of the second answer, consistency across a month of contact. Those observables predict how your raise will be run.

    Full Case Study

    From a fee-first provider’s treadmill to a quantified 10x return

    This dossier examines the economics of provider selection through Almas Mohammad’s record: $30,000 invested with a traditional firm that produced what he describes as a never-ending sunk cost fallacy of fees, followed by an engagement with Raises.com that returned 10x and is still compounding. The case is a controlled comparison of two service models run by the same buyer with the same goals.

    In the client's own words

    “They are always developing their offerings and beyond so as long as they keep doing that they’ll be great!”
    , Almas Mohammed, written review

    1. The control case: $30,000 in, momentum out

    The prior engagement had the classic fee-first anatomy: an upfront commitment large enough to trigger loss aversion, followed by recurring fees justified by the money already spent. Each additional invoice was rationalized by the last one. The output was activity, not outcomes.

    2. The treatment case: results-priced partnership

    • 10x ROI: a quantified, order-of-magnitude return on the engagement.
    • Momentum: “going strong,” with growth continuing past the initial result.
    • Alignment: value delivered against outcomes, not against a fee calendar.

    3. Forensic read: how to spot each model early

    • Fee-first providers sell the next phase; results-first providers sell the next outcome. Listen for which noun dominates the pitch.
    • Ask what happens if a phase fails: fee-first contracts answer with more phases, results-first partners answer with a changed plan.
    • Sunk cost is the provider’s asset and the client’s liability. Any pitch leaning on what you have already spent is the exit signal.

    Industry: Oil Acquisition  and Real Estate Before Working With Raises.com After Greg went through a personal life transformation, he was inspired to dive deeper into the oil acquisition world. His mission is to share insights on how to properly buy businesses with others. In his endeavors, however, there was a lack of predictability. Greg didn’t have insight into how his strategy was progressing, and upon further evaluation, he realized it wasn’t scalable. He knew that the only thing keeping his success going was his ability to understand the market and make purchases. But that wasn’t enough to consistently find the right businesses to buy. Working With Raises.com Although Greg had a strong core strategy, we discovered quite quickly that his front-end methods were struggling. There was no predictability in his flow of new business acquisitions. "How has your experience been with Raises.com?" - Natu, founder of Raises.com "I has been awesome. Great group of people!" - Greg One area that we worked on with him was origination. Greg wasn’t effectively able to get into conversations with sellers because they saw him as more a capital raiser, then an serious business buyer, communicating with potential sellers or understanding their needs. We revamped his communication materials and rebuilt his acquisition funnel. After setting accountability targets for his market analysis, Greg brought on a virtual assistant to help him with these internal tasks. He also sought guidance on better understanding the oil acquisition market and ensuring he was making informed decisions. When implementing testimonial references from previous sellers, Greg saw a huge rise in prospective businesses to acquire. After Working With Raises.com Greg built out a bigger team to support his acquisition strategies, collect feedback, and aid in outreach to potential sellers. Just 6 months after making these changes, Greg improved his consistency in finding and buying businesses in the oil acquisition world and real estate world. Pictured above, Greg Meets with Joshua Gogo, PhD, an expert in oil acquisitions. Greg is now more efficient, not wasting time on strategies that weren't yielding results, and can focus on his primary goal in the industry.

    TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 5, 2023 / Raises.com Inc. ("Raises.com") is thrilled to announce the recent acquisition by one of its distinguished members, Ade ("Ade"), of a highly profitable car wash establishment. The news of this remarkable transaction took the Raises.com community by storm, inspiring many to pursue similar ventures. Natu Myers, the esteemed founder of Raises.com, was so captivated by the acquisition's success that he personally took a trip to view the property. Although Myers had an initial plan to attend a prestigious 7-figure mastermind event in Banff/Calgary, the allure of this achievement prompted him to take a detour.       .            "It's not every day that you come across a success story as compelling as this one. I just had to see it for myself," commented Myers, adding a hint of jest, "Plus, it was a perfect excuse to escape the thrills of scary whitewater rafting with 7-figure finance entrepreneurs." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6skZrm70ro Upon his arrival, Myers was greeted by the dynamic duo, Ade (pictured far left) and Greg (2nd from the right), the visionaries behind this successful endeavor. Accompanying them was Joshua, a Ph.D. holder (far right) and a valued member of the Raises.com team. The team took Myers on an extensive tour of the car wash facility. As they navigated the premises, they delved deep into the intricate details of the business. They spoke passionately about their journey - from the initial negotiation stages, securing the deal, to the strategies they employed to optimize profitability. "The dedication and expertise exhibited by Ade and Greg is truly commendable," said Joshua Gogo, who keenly listened to every insight shared. "Their narrative is a testament to what's achievable when one is armed with the right knowledge and is a part of a supportive community like Raises.com." This acquisition serves as a beacon of inspiration for many, showcasing the boundless possibilities that lie ahead for those who are equipped with the right tools, mindset, and community support.

    In 2022, Esteve Mede had a big goal: to acquire a company worth a stunning $40,000,000. Being a serious operator in the cybersecurity niche in Washington DC, Esteve was eager to make this move. However, he was aware that he needed help to navigate this complex process. So, he decided to engage Raises.com, a platform known for its expertise in business acquisitions. Raises.com taught Esteve about the ins and outs of the acquisition process, arming him with valuable knowledge. However, despite his preparation, the deal fell through. Although disappointed, Esteve wasn't defeated. He took it as a chance to rethink his strategy, determined to find other opportunities. Come February 2023, Esteve was back in the game. This time, he set his sights on a smaller but promising target: D2K Technologies, an artificial intelligence company valued at $3,000,000. Esteve, with his unwavering focus and commitment, managed to successfully acquire D2K Technologies. The company had high-profile clients, including NASA and the Canadian Navy, which added to its value. Esteve's success with this acquisition marked a turning point in his journey. Not only did it give him a significant win, but it also validated his strategy and the teachings from Raises.com. The victory reaffirmed his belief that with patience, focus, and the right guidance, big challenges could be overcome. Inspired by his own success story and fueled by the knowledge he gained from Raises.com, Esteve decided to take a step further. He planned to launch a business acquisition fund in partnership with Raises.com. This new venture would allow him to use his experience and lessons learned to help others navigate the complex world of business acquisitions, just like he did. His story stands as a testament to perseverance and the power of leveraging the right resources in the world of tech mergers and acquisitions. https://share.cleanshot.com/M6txcKJB

    Hello, Sam from Satori Business in Australia. Just giving you a quick testimonial, uh, for Natu Myers and the business group that he has established. I joined that business group in the beginning of 2020 when I was introduced by a friend of mine who I'd done some capital raise work and corporate advisory for, uh, throughout the years of 2017 through to 2019 on some of his businesses. And he put me in touch with that group knowing that that's the space that I'm in. And I have to say I was blown away. Uh, from the caliber of people that are, um, that are members of that group, and also the standard of conversation and discussion that goes into it. Um, Natu's been able to administer that, uh, collection of people to, and steer them in the direction of really proactive, uh, proactive information, proactive deals. Uh, and genuine good quality discussion about those deals and also about the industry that we're in. Um, I've been able to get tips and advice, which may in fact be the most valuable thing that I've received out of that. And in addition to that, I've had at least three deals receive interest and progress on, on that interest and, uh, and a new deal on a, an entirely new partnership that's come. Directly out of an introduction made through that group, uh, which looks like it will complete by the bit, uh, by the middle of this year. So, um, some great things on, on direct tangible business that's resulted from being a part of that group, but also huge learnings, great experience. And I have to say it is actually. The only group message board that I genuinely read every day because I know whatever comes outta that group will be useful information. You get a lot of guff in these investment groups, uh, across Telegram and Signal and WhatsApp, and there's a lot of people that are pitching rubbish and not once have I seen anything that's rubbish in this group. Uh, and any time that there is something that, um, A little bit of a spook, or it doesn't fit, it's tightly monitored. Natu will jump in straight away and it's an instantly removed, or that person's removed, or, uh, just the posters removed. So everything that comes through that is absolute genuine quality. Natu's always quick to follow up, uh, even with the members of the group to see how projects have gone and partnerships have gone. And I think that's just incredible. So I'm really grateful for being a part of it and, uh, it's a, it's a real blessing to be in connection with Natu and I think. Anybody who has has that opportunity, they should take it. Cheers. https://vimeo.com/823054864/df28d7f41a

    Hey, this is just a quick video testimonial, uh, the sales rep testimonial for raises.com. So, uh, my name's Caleb. I've been a sales rep for raises for a little going, going on a year now, uh, this month. And it's been a hell of a time. Just an honest review for raises. Uh, it is a great account, great commission structure, great comp, very high quality leads. If you're looking for a great. First foray into like the world of high finance. This is the perfect place to get your feet wet. You know, learning the lingo, speaking the jargon, talking the talk, talking with people who are making six, seven, um, I don't think eight figures yet, but we have some pretty high earners in there. Uh, feedback. As like a sales rep position. So raises is a place that is working to develop its internal culture, like across people and, and people capital and human capital. So mind you that if you're coming in as a sales rep, you're gonna be a bit of a lone wolf, and you better be prepared to kind of bring your own culture, manage your own mindset, and stay consistent and stay hungry at it yourself. It's not really gonna, it's not like super readily gonna be provided like by the company itself. However, the makeup for that is that you get incredible comms and all the other stuff that a lot of other offers are lacking. So there's a little bit of a trade off to make there as far as the offer and like selling, uh, in the niche, uh, it's a good mix between like B2B and b2b. B2C type sales. They're a little bit more complex as you're dealing with sophisticated buyers. Not so much like someone, it's not a bis op opportunity or someone who's starting a business for the first time, where you can be a little bit more, um, the, the, the impacts and their needs aren't directly about them, but more about their business and their professional career, which makes a big difference. Now you're selling them. But all in all, phenomenal place to learn, sharpen to strengthen your skills and really understand the world of high finance. So I highly recommend it to someone who loves the game of high finance mergers and acquisitions in real estate, and jump right in. https://vimeo.com/820592548

Speaker2: [00:00:43] Oof, I don't know exactly how to answer that, but in terms of finance and investing, I just love realize it. I love defensible industries, right? Things that as human beings we can do it all. Talk about shelter, you talk about power, you talk about health care. We can look at COVID. Speaker3: [00:01:05] We all stay at home. Speaker2: [00:01:06] Yeah, but we survived because we got shelter. Good stuff. Because we got health care. We survived because we got power. So those industries I love those. I've been in those industries for the past 12 years plus now, you know. So I've been doing that before I moved to Canada in 2018. Since then, I'm just focusing on building my platform, my brand. Speaker1: [00:01:30] Got it. Yeah. Yeah. And so with building and with these almost blue blue chip type of stable investments and stable, stable type of assets, why, why are you so interested in them and why is it something that you like? Is it the security or what is it? Speaker3: [00:01:45] Well, you can say security, but at the same time, the focus is about capital preservation. Speaker1: [00:01:51] Yeah. Speaker2: [00:01:52] I don't like shiny objects. Speaker3: [00:01:54] Yeah, it's about preservation. Speaker2: [00:01:56] Of the capital and I can actually get. Speaker3: [00:01:58] Sustainable returns. Yeah, that's predictable. So if you look at real estate, for instance. Speaker2: [00:02:03] Especially in a multifamily asset. Speaker3: [00:02:05] That is predictable even with one year lease, but you can plan with that. If you look at power, for instance, if you have a power generating asset, you sign a. Speaker2: [00:02:15] Ppa with that spark. Speaker3: [00:02:17] Which is agreement. Yes. Speaker2: [00:02:19] Maybe for instance, let's say DC Hydro or Hydro One, that's going to. Speaker3: [00:02:23] Be for like three years, five years. And those kind of agreement is indexed against inflation. So you can actually plan on the cash flow from that. The cash flow is not. Speaker2: [00:02:35] As robust as what you find in some people in venture capital where they make 30% on all of that. But the thing with defensible industry is that it is predictable. You can plan with that cash flow. It's not as high, but you can go to bed and sleep properly. You don't have to worry so much about what's going to happen to you. You know, it's not stock market where you lose your money overnight. Speaker1: [00:02:59] Yeah, it's not it's not up and down like a roller coaster. Speaker2: [00:03:02] So volatility. So I try not to use volatility, but volatility is not there. You know, the the swings are not there. You can't plan with that. It's predictable. The cash flow is not as I mean, the returns are crazy, but you can plan those. So that's why I love Loss Industries. Speaker1: [00:03:20] Got it. And I remember, you know, going back to even 2019, but around 2020, 2021, something maybe a bit unpredictable happen. So you manage to actually come across what was raised as an outcome. So what were you up to specifically? Right before we were able to meet. Speaker3: [00:03:37] You know. Speaker2: [00:03:39] The industry looking for assets and I've been talking to, I mean, some veterans in the industry, but I was looking for. Speaker3: [00:03:50] A platform. Speaker2: [00:03:51] Or individuals that I can bounce my ideas off, you know, not just, you know, attempts when you're working on a deal or working on something, you took close to it to realize that there might be mistake here on our times when you're working with an advisor or you somebody close to you, apart from your team because your team are so engrossed in it, they've been looking at it. I mean, certain things. Yeah. So when I came across. Speaker3: [00:04:17] Through a friend, I came across the platform. Speaker2: [00:04:24] So and I connected with you guys and since then it's been, it's been awesome experience for me because every time we go on the call, every, every, every Monday on Wednesdays, I usually attend the Monday ones. And you guys have always been there to just support and give your feedback. What do you think is missing? What do you think we should do or we should not do? And I think that helped us to get to where we got to in the three weeks ago. Speaker1: [00:04:54] Got it. Yeah. And about three weeks ago. What is it that happened three weeks ago. Speaker2: [00:04:58] Where. Speaker1: [00:04:59] You were. Speaker2: [00:05:01] Able to close out 44, 44 units in Edmonton, multifamily asset in Edmonton. That was a rough was a rough experience, I'll tell you that. We had, you know, ups and downs. There's some disappointment around that. But we were able to close. I think that's what really matters. I don't want to go into the nitty gritty, but one thing I would advise anyone that. Trying to raise money, especially in the real estate space. And you don't have your investors lined up already. Even if they are lined up, get some commitment from them. And what I'm saying, commitment and commitment that the money is in the bank, whether it's 10% or 20%, let it be in the bank. If you've had some relationship or done some deals with them. Speaker3: [00:05:46] Before. Speaker2: [00:05:46] Yeah, you might not worry about that because you know that they're going to come through. But somebody you've never done anything with before. Get some commitment, you know? So you didn't know that by the time you come asking for the balance that if they don't deploy it, they're going to do the attempt to send to 20%. Yeah. And in most cases try to if you're trying to raise 1 million target to raise 1.5 or 1.8 million. So we have two or three investors drop out, as at least you say, able to cover the amount you're trying to raise. Yeah, which was the problem we ran into. You know, we had two investors just for a large amount of money, which I don't want to start talking about right now. And we had a huge hole to fill within a very short period of time. But now we're able to close on the 17th of March. Speaker1: [00:06:39] And you're able to do it a bit unpredictably, but you did it. Speaker3: [00:06:42] So, yeah, it seemed. Speaker2: [00:06:44] Unachievable what we did. Speaker1: [00:06:46] Congratulations. Thank you. Okay, so now now that this deal is done, what's next? After you got the first one done, what's next for you here? Speaker2: [00:06:57] I think the immediate next step for us is repositioning the property. We are now rushing to the next big deal. First, we want to get the property to what we promised our investors first. Speaker1: [00:07:11] Yeah. Speaker2: [00:07:11] So that might take two months, 2 to 3 months to get that point. But at the same time, we have deals being thrown at us, especially because of the news that we just closed this one. So we have deals being tried out. So okay, we have this here, but we are taking our time. We are not rushing to get into any new deal right now. Maybe about three months, four months. We are actively in the market at that point. Right now we're just focusing on repositioning this asset, you know, not just for the forced acquisition, but we're looking at the natural position because of the market where this investment is and that's in Edmonton. Speaker1: [00:07:49] Got it. Yeah. And that has it which we we see this asset all over some of the press releases. So you know, when it came to down it, back when it came to, you know, you making this step, what was it that made you overcome any hesitation to join raises outcome. Speaker3: [00:08:09] I once I observe once I, I mean I got to know about you guys first. I mean. Speaker2: [00:08:19] I would the way I spoke about you, I'm not saying this for the camera but said you just have to talk to this guy. You have to talk to this asset. Speaker3: [00:08:28] We didn't know you've not spoken to him. You need to talk to this guy. This guy's good. So I thought, okay, that was fine. So. And the rapport. Speaker2: [00:08:36] The conversation, we had one on one. And I like the rapport, I love the chemistry. I think I need to get in better with these guys. I need to know what you're doing. I want to be part of what you guys are doing. And I've not regretted signing up. Speaker1: [00:08:48] Got it. And for those, you know, in many different, you know, maybe some people have already closed their deals. Maybe they have. It's for somebody who sees raises that come and they may have some hesitation. What would you say to them if they were to take that next step? Speaker3: [00:09:02] Was was keeping was the hesitation about this just jumping the you have to think I had something and as somebody said, the return on awesome. You know you just in the market bind you and binding you and why not get because resource companies don't. Speaker2: [00:09:21] Just about people that are just starting out you've got veterans that are part of the business dot com so they give the advice to tell you this what they've done and this how they've been successful at it. So there's nothing you have. Speaker3: [00:09:35] Nothing to lose but. You don't have anything to lose. That's what I'm saying. You have everything to gain by being part of this dot com. Because for me, I've seen it and I'll testify and I'll tell anybody if you want to get a. Speaker2: [00:09:48] Deal, cause you're. Speaker3: [00:09:50] Looking and. Speaker2: [00:09:52] Cheaply, you know, you want to get your deal closed cheaply. You can just go to Reddit dot com. There are so many things that the investment bankers will charge you that if you go to red dot com you might get it for free or aren't talking good. Speaker1: [00:10:09] Got it. And listen, you know, again, congratulations and all that you were able to accomplish. I saw that it wasn't something that was a walk in the park. It wasn't easy. And but but listen, you did it. Congratulations. And hey, if if anyone wants to reach out to you for investor inquiries or something similar. Where should they go? Speaker3: [00:10:29] I'm very active on LinkedIn. Speaker2: [00:10:32] You can go to our website. It should be active by next week. We have to take it down for certain reasons, but we're active in next week. But I'm very active on LinkedIn.

Perfect it just go my name. I'm sure I'm going to focus on my other. Speaker1: [00:10:58] Yeah. And even, you know you've done it well. Congratulations again. Thank you. And we look forward. Hey, no worries. And we look forward to seeing you get some more done and yes, absolutely. Give these returns here. Speaker2: [00:11:07] Yeah, absolutely. Thank you so much, Nathan.

Speaker1: [00:00:37] Hi, Ade. Speaker2: [00:00:38] Hi. I couldn't hear anything. I thought probably talking and I can't hear anything. Speaker1: [00:00:44] No, all is. Well, we just had Kenneth is just because we just posted the meeting a bit late, but no, we just had Kenneth in yourself. So we got a few new, new members, but they're not always on the call, so it's a bit empty. Speaker2: [00:00:59] Oh, I see. Well, got a bit of good news. Speaker1: [00:01:06] There we go. Let's hear it. Speaker2: [00:01:07] Please. We need to close. No need. You have the money to close the transaction? Yeah. Yeah. It was a horrible experience dealing with some people. Yeah. I don't know what is internal problem or just pure bad faith on their part. You know, dealing with how to deal with a lender that's on the day of funding, changing all the terms. So, you know, all the times that, you know, we have to fight them saying, no way, you know, about this deal for the past six weeks and you made some approvals you can come and they are you expected to fund to start changing the terms and all that. Oh, they made us they made us sweat it acting for all sort of stuff that we're not even the KPIs in the commitment letter that we signed but enough we managed to close on officially on Thursday, unofficially on Thursday, on Friday officially closed and congrats. Speaker1: [00:02:27] So you closed on last Friday. Speaker2: [00:02:29] Yeah, just last Friday. Just four days ago. Three days ago. Yeah. Speaker1: [00:02:37] Congrats, man. You drinking champagne or what? Speaker2: [00:02:41] Champagne at this point, I'm just trying to recover for from the sleepless nights. Wow. The champagne yet. But I need to close for money to close. Speaker1: [00:02:58] Congratulations. Speaker2: [00:03:00] Thanks. So the real work starts now. Speaker1: [00:03:06] Yeah. Yeah, because. Well, yeah. Now, you know, we have to avoid the lawsuits and give the people what they want. Right. Speaker2: [00:03:15] Well, to sign up for. Yes. Time to execute. Speaker1: [00:03:21] Well. And so this one was 40. So this one was 44 to 44. Speaker2: [00:03:25] Yeah. That's 44 units. It was. Yeah, we managed to close down. Speaker1: [00:03:36] Well, hey. Just one thing. One thing. A lot of people, a lot of us, business people, we're always like. We always work really, really hard. And then we try to get to the goal. So now that you hit the goal, even for just. I know you can't we can't celebrate too, too much. Speaker2: [00:03:50] But, you know. Speaker1: [00:03:51] Yeah, I just hope you just you just take time, because, like, I've been seeing you working on this for a while. I just hope you take time to. You know, just to enjoy the moment for a bit. Speaker2: [00:04:03] Yeah. That's what I keep saying. Yeah, I will. But I'm off to I'm off to get in there. Innovation starts next week. Okay. So this week is just planning and next week we get to it. Of course, we have a renovation work plan in place already, but just been on ground and getting things moving from this to these. Speaker1: [00:04:27] And then so then this one is your first indication as of now, right? Yeah. Speaker2: [00:04:31] Yeah, it is. In North America. It is. Speaker1: [00:04:34] Congratulations again. Speaker2: [00:04:38] Thank you. Speaker1: [00:04:40] So when it comes so then when it comes to actually the value add, so then what do you need any help with all those numbers, like taking a look at all that or what? Speaker2: [00:04:55] I don't know. Maybe yes or maybe no. I don't know. I could always share with you guys and see if there's any feedback. Speaker1: [00:05:03] Got it. And what do you say you're based out of you're based out of Vancouver, right? Speaker2: [00:05:08] Yeah. And the deal is in Edmonton, so just about an hour, 50 minute flight. Okay. Speaker1: [00:05:20] Maybe. Maybe we can meet there with some time. What do you think? Speaker2: [00:05:23] Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I'll find out when. Speaker1: [00:05:27] I don't even know what I should like. I don't know what I should come to because I want to make it like a round trip. Because there are a bunch of people that I want to meet in the States and then go up. I don't know whether it should be Edmonton or Vancouver, but matters in Vancouver, so maybe it makes sense to go to Vancouver. Speaker2: [00:05:43] Yeah. To meet your team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely not to come to Vancouver. Speaker1: [00:05:50] Yeah. Speaker2: [00:05:52] I do. Yeah. Speaker1: [00:05:56] Yeah. I'll plan. I'll plan a time like I have to travel after travel is me anyway. So I'll make a time in May, but then I'll come back to you. But yeah, the deal is closed. Let's just celebrate for 2 seconds and nothing crazy. Just, you know, just to see. Speaker2: [00:06:13] Me off. Speaker1: [00:06:14] And get back on it. Yeah. Speaker2: [00:06:15] Because to gain traction with this close target for me to end this year is. Actually it's 200 units. So we have about 1.56 to go. So that is a target. Okay. Speaker1: [00:06:38] So 100 and so. So, can you expand that again? Say that again. I'll make sure I get it. Speaker2: [00:06:42] So I'm saying the target before the end of this quote by the end of this year is to own the unit. Speaker1: [00:06:46] Okay. Speaker2: [00:06:49] So we have one and then 56 units to go. So in several months. So. Got it. That goes. There has to be a commitment and there has to be a commitment 10 to 20% if you are really interested. So you know that when there's the call to pay up or you lose your money because I have people, that's okay. So commitment, I'm going to do 500, I'm going to do 200, blah, blah, blah. When it was time to copy that call. Oh, none which some of them were not picking up calls, some of them made commitments for 500 or 400 only did 50%. So at some point I thought I already raised millions and that million went from 1000000 to 300000 because I could only get 300. So that's how I had so many issues. The deal is we close the model, so that was kind of called the cut. People were not paying up, but if they had something at stake to lose, which is a normal thing. If you look at it in private equity, if you make if you make a commitment to something that you're going to you're going to deploy capital, you have to make 5% or 10%. And when it's time for capital call, if you don't do it within the set time, you probably you're going to lose that money. Does that's defeat private equity outside what I've seen that we've done that before. So that is not, it's not something new. Yeah. Well because you're trying to manage relationships, right? You're trying not to put people under a lot of pressure and telling them they're going to lose their money they don't commit. It's entirely up to see. Okay, is this guy really interested? Somebody that's really interested. Speaker2: [00:08:40] And I'm I if I'm put in for instance and put in under a new deal does think it. I'm going to make a commitment. I'm not going to lose my ten or 20 kids. So they're going to make that commitment. And what I'm saying, the big boys I'm talking to, institutional investors, for instance, they make commitment, okay? They want to invest. They make a commitment to a deal, let's say 500 million. And they put in, let's say 50 million, a hundred million right at the point of Colbyco, which is why when you make that commitment to a deal or to a private equity, that difference, that you're not giving that to general partner at that point in time, that you only give 10% or 20%, you invest it in some kind of illiquid assets that when it's time for capital call, you can get that money and just deploy. Right. You're not putting in something hard and something that's going to take you about 30 minutes or something that might take you about six months, four months for you to to liquidate or to get money back. So you put it in some kind of liquid asset. Was this 30 days for you to get the money back? So you made a commitment of, let's say, a hundred million. Then you put in 10 million. Right. That balance, you put in some kind of liquid asset that you know that when it's time for capital, because at this point where you're depositing or deploying that 10%, which is but 10 million, you know, there's going to be a cop that called in two months. Only if there's no if there's no deal in two months, then you get your money back. Less expenses. Speaker1: [00:10:33] So. So you're saying so basically. A few things. So one is that the capital call thing happens in every type of equity. Like many equity games, like big deal, small deals, whatever. Speaker2: [00:10:43] Yeah. In the private equity side set up, that is the setting in a proper private equity. That is the setting. You have to put a commitment down that, okay, you're committed to this deal. But because our relationship management is not it's not about it's not in the law that you have to do it. But if you truly committed to the deal and you want to if you want to establish or sorry, what is your position in that deal? Yeah. You make a commitment. Okay. I'm I'm in this deal. So under a million, I put it 10 million in first. So when it's time for capital call, you get to $90. Yeah. Speaker1: [00:11:28] Because and then you're also saying so then you're also saying to that the people have to be it has to be slightly liquid. So it has to be like, for example, if they pull out of the capital call, they still feel a little bit of pain because they still have to wait a while for for them to get that money right, is what you're saying? Speaker2: [00:11:46] Yeah. Okay. For instance, just under a million commitment to a deal. Yeah. Now you make it. You make sort commitments of 10 million or some level of commitment of 10 million. You know, there's going to be a couple that call in two months for the balance. So at this point in time, you have to deploy. If you don't have the if you don't have the 90 right now, you must make sure that you have the 90. In two months when I'm going to make the cut. And it's going to be about probably going to have like ten days or 15 days for you to deploy. If you don't, because I need to close at that point, if you don't deploy at that point in time, the likelihood of you losing the ten to the 10%, 10 million, 8% is pretty high. You can ask this from any, but it has done private equity at a big level. This guy's done because everything is at risk. That 10 million, if you don't deploy your 90 million, they have to quickly go to the market last minute and see who's going to take up that 90 million. So that cost itself, that's the cost that 10 million is going to cover for your other four and in most cases, at 10 million. Speaker2: [00:13:05] Part of that terminal's already been maybe deposits for that deal. Like in real estate, for instance, you have to make a commitment. Right, deposits for the deal that you're trying to close. Yeah. Yeah. So that part of that money is probably going to go towards that. So if you don't bring in your own balance, then there's a huge pressure on the sponsor or the GP to look so that you don't lose the money, the deposit already. So you have to go to the market at the last minute and you're trying to raise money at the last minute is going to cause you to turn. It's just going to cost you so much money. So much money. I've seen that happen on this deal. It cost me so much because I had to get get money at the last minute. So to do that, the private equity guys put in the documentations. If you don't do it at this point, you're going to lose your money. And you read the agreement. You sign up. Once you sign that, yes. You acknowledge that if you don't. Put in there minimum balance. You're going to lose your money. Pillows lies on your side. Yeah. You know what, Lloyd? You need the money. Speaker1: [00:14:21] You know what's funny? What's really funny is like. Because, like, I'm in a group of so I'm in a group of like, there are a bunch of these these millionaire small business owners that they do like online. They do it. They have different online businesses. And what's funny is like, for example, they'll have a service that costs like 10,000 bucks or whatever and they would ask if the person is serious, but then the money is not coming yet. They would say, Oh, you put down $500 and come back. Like a down payment almost. But they won't give back the down payments. It reminds me of this. It's the same principle because they won't give it up. Speaker2: [00:14:56] It's non-refundable. Speaker1: [00:14:58] Yeah. Speaker2: [00:15:00] You don't follow through on your commitment to the deal that you're going to buy their business. Wasted their time for about two or three months. And you don't close the transaction, you lose the money. Speaker1: [00:15:09] Yeah, and it reminds me of this because it reminds me of have you ever heard of that book influenced by Cialdini? I don't know if you heard of that book. Speaker2: [00:15:20] No, I don't think so. Speaker1: [00:15:22] Yeah, like, it's. It talks about an influence. Cialdini. Speaker2: [00:15:31] Cialdini sounds familiar Speaker1: [00:15:33] Yeah, because. Yeah, because you're using. You're using the commitments and consistencies. So this is commitment and consistency that you're using, right? Because you're trying to say that if somebody made a basically if somebody makes a small choice, if somebody makes like a small commitment, then the people would continue to behave consistent with that small commitment. So I give you just say, oh, just let me just put $1 in. Then they say, okay, let me put ten. Like it's easier to ask for bigger favors if the person starts with a small favor. Speaker2: [00:16:03] Absolutely. And you know that people don't want everyone. It's just $1. People don't want to lose it, right? Yeah. They would do whatever it is that is required of them to make sure that they meet up so they don't lose that as small as it is, they don't want to lose it. So they set it in a very bad position that, okay, yeah, there's nothing I can do, I'll just let go. So on the basis of that and the GP understands the situation and does not anybody can do it, if you have a discussion with the GP and see, okay, next, any expenses that the GP has incurred, you can give them some. So instead of 10 million back, probably get 5 million back on the relationship. But ordinarily they are not supposed to get anything back because you made a commitment. You see, you sign that if you don't deploy the minimum balance, which is 90%, which equates to 90 million, you are going to lose your soft commitment to this deal. And when it says soft commitment really is not just the word of mouth. Yeah, it has to be with cash. That you actually really committed to this deal. But we have we have tried to massage that because everybody is trying to build relationship and try to tell soft commitment by word of mouth or the strong commitment that is going to. It really should be with cash. Speaker1: [00:17:29] Yeah. Because not just talk. Because talk, talk cash is the only thing that's cash is the only thing that shows what people are really going to do. It's behavior. But one more question I have for this is would you so going forward for like your next syndications. Speaker2: [00:17:45] Would you. Speaker1: [00:17:46] Put in it looks like it makes sense to have a to get more people that are commitment committed than even the amount you're raising. No, because. Speaker2: [00:17:55] Absolutely. Absolutely. That's a big lesson, that part of what I mean, Kenneth and Abdul would tell you, yeah, they've done all that. So that's yeah, definitely I'm going to probably raise one point. I mean 11.5 X or two X or what I need. That's what I'm going to get out. So it's I'd rather have people have it do oversubscribed than to be on the subscribe because people just didn't follow through on their commitments. Yeah. Speaker1: [00:18:26] Because you know, and then maybe maybe to make some provisions for like if you're because like people always want something that is hot, right? So it's like if the thing is more in demand, if it's oversubscribed and then you created value out of nothing. Speaker2: [00:18:40] Give a lot of nothing. So you can quickly go to the market for the next deal. And so sorry guys couldn't get on this one, but this you have an alternative. This is a new deal that you can, you know, so instead of you're trying to make a commitment of 200 or 500 people, you only we only able to get up to 300 K. So don't worry, the next deal is just erotic, blah, blah, and you can still make them invest in your next deal. Yeah, sure. Okay. Put them as a priority when it comes to the next deal. And they like your products, they like you first. I think they did not like a product. Yeah. You first before your product. Speaker1: [00:19:26] Yeah. Because you know and speaking of the investors, the last thing I wanted to say is like how about how about I don't know if this will help, but how about a press release just saying, hey, listen, you know, at a you know, so-and-so has done so-and-so and he's working on this because I mean, the thing has closed and the thing is like. Speaker2: [00:19:45] Yes, we are going to do that. I just well, I think yeah, probably in April. I just want to get it to the point where I started, you know, I just don't want to close the transaction and okay, that's the next thing I want to start reading before making so much noise about it. Yeah, definitely going to do that because it's absolutely the profile. So I really appreciate any press release from you guys. Speaker1: [00:20:15] In the noise. No worries. Yeah, we'll take care of that. We'll take care of those things. We'll try to get on. We'll try to get an editor to do it. We can't promise like an editor would do it, but it may see access wire on it, but it would just get it to get it to Business Insider or something like that. Or Bloomberg. Speaker2: [00:20:31] Or. Yeah. It's a big do. Speaker1: [00:20:42] Well, you did it. You did it. So now now you're now you're one of the members that actually you're like, now you can talk to other people that come in and train them and say, Oh, this is how you do it. You know, this is how it's done. This is how you do this. Speaker2: [00:20:55] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, thank you for thank you guys. I mean, you guys were very instrumental, the feedback and all that. It really helped. Speaker1: [00:21:09] No worries. Listen, we did we did what we could. But the next one, we were always looking for ways to do more. Though I want to be able to do more. I know. I think I think I think there may be something with the ad thing. I think that there's something there because. Speaker2: [00:21:24] You know. Speaker1: [00:21:26] I don't think it's been used enough by a lot of people. So but let's keep on trying to improve. I want to I want to just find a way to get more. So if we can get more context to you. Speaker2: [00:21:38] Yeah. Speaker1: [00:21:39] We just want to find more ways to do it. So use us as much as you want. You know, you have the support, but I'll be going back and forth on that. Speaker2: [00:21:46] Email, so. Okay. Yeah. Speaker1: [00:21:52] But. Yeah, don't work too hard. Yeah. Just relax a bit and then just enjoy the moment. Life can be short sometimes, so just enjoy the moment. Make your investors happy and make them happy. We work on continuing to make you happy. And then? And then. That's all we have to do, right? Speaker2: [00:22:06] Yeah. Thank you. Speaker1: [00:22:09] No worries, but. Yeah, next step. Next steps. Let's. So in April, we'll whatever you want us to say, we'll try to get you on whatever Forbes anything. We'll try to get you out there, and then we'll have a draft by like a week. We'll work on that. And then yeah, in May, I'll see if I can personally come over. I will see if I can do that. I think there's a 99% chance I can, but I'll just confirm it. Speaker2: [00:22:32] Okay? Yeah, that's fine. Thank you. Speaker1: [00:22:37] Very cool. All right, sir. Talk soon. Let us know if you need anything as well. Don't be a stranger, right? Speaker2: [00:22:42] Absolutely. Absolutely. Speaker1: [00:22:44] Awesome. All right. Talk soon Ade, cheers, Speaker2: [00:22:48] All right. Bye.

    In addition to a few grand removed from accounting, we saved a Raises.com member $15k-$20k off a legal bill in setting up a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) which will offer $100mUSD in securities to investors via a Regulation D filing over the next two years. Of course $20k is nothing compared to the potential upside, but at least the downside many are timid about has been reduced to almost nil. We have our consultants go through regulations, blue sky laws and exemptions for private placement memorandum and subscription agreement drafting. After, we allow the legal take the rest and have them sign off and bare the burden legally because we just offer information. With proper structure, some Raises.com members manage to only pay even 10% this amount on legal on rolling amounts, but a multi-strategy REIT is more complex. We have some plans to get legal on our weekly calls and there may be cases where legal is completely taken care of, but for those who need the best for finding out all efficient tax strategies, the point is to be practical vs paying $100k building a PPM that investors will not fund, relying on messaging people on Linkedin and getting 0 results.

    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."

    Transcript

    (Being Edited) Speaker1: [00:00:00] Natu Myers here from Raises.com, and today I'm with Abdiel Lewis from Arch Capital, and we're going to take a quick, deep dive into his background and some of the types of transactions and the scope of what he's working on. And then we're going to learn about some of the ins and outs of the capital raising space from his perspective and things that he's learned and things that he's accumulated along the way. So, so, yeah, we're up. We just had an interest in talking about talking about some people that you actually met who have connections with. But before we get started, can you just tell the folks here about your background and some of the things that you've worked on in and where you're coming from? Speaker2: [00:00:51] Yeah, absolutely. So a couple couple of couple of things that I've been involved with involve anything from start up with on the technology side as well as real estate. But over the last 10 years, I find myself diving into Wilson more and more and then involved in syndication, both as lead partner as well as general partner. What if your investors to date have done about seven deals, three as a partner and then the remaining fours on both sides, as well as a. General partners, including from those seven deals with, exited three of them. Record breaking. I mean, we we always like to be very conservative when we project returns, but these were projected around 16 to 18 percent and we exited all three deals between nineteen and twenty one point two percent IRR. So I think our investors are very pleased indeed. They'd like to come back and invest with us overall. So the reason I mentioned syndication as well is as we do more syndication, it's always come down to equity and capital. Every deal that we do, we need to. We need to raise equity and and take those down with my partners. And it comes to us about a year and a half ago, two years ago, how do we create a fund and then be able to leverage the fund to diversify our portfolio, but also to provide better ally on equity and better term for our investors? And some of the benefits with having a fund is allow us to invest in multiple projects throughout the southeast south southwest of the U.S. and be able to partner with operators, experienced operators we have worked with personally over the last seven to 10 years. Speaker1: [00:03:13] That's fantastic, and I mean, it's pretty it's pretty vibrant and is obviously, I mean, you're obviously getting results for the investors. You're talking about 19 percent. So I guess along the way along your journey here, it's what is the number one? Because what would I say, what is the number one? In terms of your background, the number one piece of advice that you would have for somebody who is looking to number one, find investors and to get results for them to the level that you've been able to achieve here. Speaker2: [00:03:45] Well, that's a very good question, so I don't know if there is a one thing because, you know, it's it's like learning to ride a bike, right? Because you're because you're by the bike. Does it mean that you know how to ride the bike the very first day, right? So, so it's a process. I think the first thing I would say is understand the sector that you're getting into. If you're getting into real estate and you want to do syndication or you want to raise capital, then start by learning and understanding what investors are looking for when they are looking to invest in a particular project, whether that's construction or whether that's development or mixed use, or whether that's acquisition of multifamily for repositioning or light value add. So these are these are the things I would look at and then understanding the terms, you know, anything from average return. What does that mean if we were to return? What does that mean? Cumulative return? What does that also mean? And and then also look at the construct of the general partners. A lot of those deals, often the numbers do not lie. But if the trust or the relationship between the general partners and the legal partners is is not trusted or is not easy to work with and have a track record and credibility, then you know, yes, you may be able to make money. But ultimately you would not have a great experience. But I think for me, I look at. The team behind the project, of course, I look at the numbers I have to analyze the numbers, I have to look at the exit strategy, the business plan. But at the end of the day, the business plan does not execute, execute itself. It's the people behind it. So that's also a big part of my analysis and how we move when we look at projects. Speaker1: [00:05:59] Got it makes sense, especially when you're talking about value add, especially. So going from there and talking about now, so what are some current either projects or initiatives that you're working on raising capital for right now? Speaker2: [00:06:15] So right now, over the last six months, we've been heads down focusing on. Two funds, so we launch a high income growth fund last month that's one hundred million dollar fund targeted yield is 18 percent. The asset type we're targeting is commercial mixed use multifamily real estate and then that that that fund, particularly the $100 million fund focused really on. High growth, like I mentioned, and also tax advantaged growth where we we we are raising capital and then we are partnering with Experience Sponsor. We have invested with in the past six to eight 10 years and take an equity position, as well as a GP position or co-investment, basically for a shorter way of saying that. So we'll invest alongside of them. I will be part of the management team and then. The second piece is that with COVID, what happened in the U.S. is that around the world, most smaller boutique or smaller asset managers or operators did not have enough reserve or did not have any sensitivity analysis into the underwriting. Should something like COVID happen or unexpected like this happen and be able to weather the economic downturn and the economic occupancy? I didn't say the economy occupancy is actually different than physical occupancy. So and I'll explain with economic occupancy is how how much you're collecting and rent or cap or return based on who is actually paying for the asset or the lease. Physical occupancy deal with OK, well, I may be 90 percent or 98 99 percent occupied, but 10 percent of those tenants or lease lessees are not actually able to meet the obligations. Speaker2: [00:08:37] So therefore you have a discrepancy. So doing so, we saw an opportunity. Therefore, we create a second fund which coming online January one twenty twenty two, and that's an impact fund. And that's that's impactful. Fund focus on passive income and measurable tax saving target yield is 10 percent, and that's what percent of the workforce housing, multifamily, single family rental real estate. And the idea is a lot of those. Uh, operators or inexperienced operators there alone are in this business, and the bank will be calling those loan and they are going to be forced to sell or liquidate to exit. And this is what we call it with equity that we we are raising, we'll be able to go in and acquire those assets. The steep discount and then put new management in place, inject some capital to reposition and continue where they left off and exit. So what that does is now we're talking about a triple factor, whereas only we're buying at a low discount. And also now we're about to inject capital to turn around the asset, and we're going to be able to exit at a higher equity multiple. We're talking to X multiple and up. So that seemed to be another area of opportunity that we see coming up in twenty twenty two. And we wanted to take advantage of that and allow both retail and institutional, both retail and accredited investors to participate in our fund to be able to. And this but also to take an interest into this sector or project that we're involved in. Speaker1: [00:10:49] No, fantastic. Yeah, because the first one seems to be more about just leveraging high growth and taking advantage of the tax opportunities, and then the second one is more the management there and then looking for arbitrage there, right? Speaker2: [00:11:03] Correct. Speaker1: [00:11:05] Well, awesome, awesome. Yeah, and just off line as well, we're just talking about different conferences and opportunities that you were a part of. And I mean, you are a Raises.com Member. and so how is the Raises.com membership been to you and your team? Speaker2: [00:11:22] Very good. Very good. I remember the very first time I saw your note and then I reached out and we talked a few times and trying to do some due diligence on Raises.com. I think back then you guys had a different name and you rebranded along the way. But overall, I think that, for my co-founder, my partner here at Arch Capital and myself, I think the Raises.com has become invaluable to what we're doing, and I'm going to explain that. You know, if we need advice, we can reach out to you or to your team. We on several instances we've had your team underwrite some of our deals, which is very unique and have great feedback on a project we're working on last minute. And then on other instances, including now we've been able to connect with many mastermind members and have several warm introductions. And when we say warm introductions, these are direct decision makers who can actually tell us, yes, we can help, and no, we cannot help, but we can provide a referral. Those referral actually how to give us even greater ideas and also provide other structures and a way of being more creative in our way in our raise for for our funds that we did not think about prior. So overall, I think Raises.com Is truly a strategic partner, and we're trying to take advantage of that every time we have a need or when we need to discuss different ways of structuring deals and raising capital and leveraging the back end solution you guys have as well to pull new investor profiles. Speaker1: [00:13:33] And it's good, and when it comes to I'll use the term you use taken advantage because there are a lot of people that are coming to raise the bomb. Some are extramural and they're more advanced. Some are just fresh and they're they've syndicated deals. And so seen all the things that you've seen and experienced up to now not just raises, but just in general. What how would you advise somebody to take advantage over both the knowledge that you've learned and also the resources that are available in the market to actually set up their fund and raise for their fund, especially when it comes to multifamily real estate? Speaker2: [00:14:09] Yeah, and they've got a question. So. So I think in the process when you join, there is a step you follow get the basics where the documents are, who to reach out to if you have questions. And then my theory is participation into those weekly calls or biweekly calls Monday and Wednesday and be able to discuss and exchange ideas. And you know, it's almost like the hot seat. So you provide your your plan and you get grilled live. But but everybody get to see it and then see areas that you can improve, but also understand. The other set of conversation that should happen, that the partners in your organization with partners on your team should be asking and often, you know, people from raising resources that come will all chime in or the mastermind will chime in. There is a great wealth and bristled knowledge and folks available to help. So I think that would be the first thing, you know, get the basics out, understand where things are, who to reach out. And then once you get past that, then it's a matter of getting introduced to other folks. If someone is good with, you know, debt instrument and someone else is good with equity. Equity raise or or capital raise or mayors or legal aspect of the deal, then, you know, reach out and get quickly introduced to someone versus is trying to figure, figure it out yourself and spending days in agony. Speaker2: [00:15:59] I think one phone call, one email, you'll get an answer. So so you know, time is very time is very fleeting, but also time is essential. So we try to manage our time the best we can and any type of investment. We acquire partners and even through this mastermind. You know what? You lack experience. You'll find someone who has the upside or someone who has the experience, then just partner with them and and take that deals start, start where you feel comfortable. But also, I would say, start big enough where institutional institutional capital start to notice you, because that's very important. And once you start having this conversation and building relationship with your capital, you're able to speak the language and understanding there the mandate, then you start taking like them, then you start looking at things differently, then you start getting calls. Hey, do you have deals? We work on these deals. Let's put our partner on on on either raising the debt or raising the equity or maybe coming on board as an asset manager. So all of that is things that you know, that you learn over time and you get gain experience as you go. But I think if you want to do shortcut is having this one on one conversation outside of those biweekly calls with members of the mastermind and also be active, you know, ask questions. No question is stupid. Just ask questions and reach out. Speaker1: [00:17:39] Yeah, no good points, good points, especially when it comes to asking questions, because I mean, the thing is like nobody knows everything and part of the reason why consultants bring people in who don't know everything is because if they knew everything, then they will be able to raise billions. So, you know, that's the point of even asking questions. So that's good advice to be taken from the community. So now we know that we know a bit about your career deals that you've done, deals you're working on now. And so what's what's next? So the next, let's say, in the next six, 12, twenty four months, what are you looking to achieve and how does the future look like for you now? Speaker2: [00:18:24] Well, that's a very good question. So so we. We're excited about what's what's the next 12 months look like? So right now, we're at 10 percent committed on on our High Income Growth Fund with the $100 million fund that we're raising capital for it. So by Q1 of next year, we were anticipating to hit one third of the raise for that first fund. But the impact fund, what transpired is that when we launched that when we saw floods, the Impact Investing Fund and we were at a family office club event in Dallas, we were we were. I think surprise is not the right word, but I think the interest we receive was equally as it was equally the same as the high income growth interest in that fund. And so we so far have already been engaged, even with some public official in Dallas for the Impact Fund. But we will have we partner with some sort of public private partnership where we'll be assisting in providing equity. And then we're also looking at a model where where the fund can actually leverage existing asset that could be either leased or or or change hands over to the fund and then be part of the impact investment program that we're looking to do as a model. Speaker2: [00:20:05] So these are these are these are new things that we were seeing and we're excited about. And then we also see that because we design and the structure we have for the impact fund is somewhat different than the high income growth because the higher income growth is directly from equity investors only. But the applause for the Impact Fund allows both accredited and the equity investors, meaning that retail individuals can invest, can, can invest into the fund very easily. And now they have a piece of of the a part of something bigger than themselves, which is impacting different areas, but also at the same time do well while doing good. And I think that's that's what we're excited about that and see where that goes in 2020 to essentially. Well, the MSA, the MSA, when I say when I say MSA term that we use in real estate, the the the MSA specific areas in submarkets, I think is going to benefit greatly from that, and we anticipate that one to probably take off at a faster, a faster pace than the high income growth in term of what we're doing. Speaker1: [00:21:44] Hmm. Awesome. That seems yeah, because that seems to be more of the. That seems to be more of the long term plan because when you when you align, when you get people doing well and doing good and you know, I don't want to divulge into the details, but. You know, because the reggae versus the rugby, there are different things and it's more like a mini IPO. There are different opportunities there as well, right? Speaker2: [00:22:09] Yeah. Correct. Go ahead. So, so yeah, you know. You know, yeah, like you said, we don't want to get too much into the technicality, but otherwise we spend the entire night in talking about. Yeah, which is fine. And I enjoy this kind of conversation. But but really, it is really like a mini IPO giving, giving folks and investors a different way of of impact impacting their their their neighborhood and so on. And it provide the same return, the same tax, even more tax advantaged. If you look at where and where we are investing and what we're doing. But essentially, you know, if you're doing well, do good, but at the same time, make some money. Speaker1: [00:22:58] Yeah, why not? Why not? And like a lot of deals like this do, is it shareholders almost become? Like the Queen, I don't want to see customers, but everything seems to be aligned in terms of mission, especially when it comes to these mini IPO type setup. Correct? Yeah. And so we're could. So I mean, if somebody wants to inquire about these opportunities or they wanted to learn more about, I guess, the types of transactions that you're working on, how can somebody get in touch with you? Speaker2: [00:23:30] Absolutely. So they can. Anyone can reach us and call anytime to talk to us, or we're very open and transparent about what we do, and we'll be happy to sit down and tell you about what our fund mandates are. But more importantly, you as the investor or you as a potential partner, we want to understand what it for you. What's your goal? What's your vision and what do you want to come out of? Maybe a potential investment with us, so if anyone wanted to reach out to us, they can simply go to arch capital that ventures and go to contact, and then you'll find our my email Eloise at Archer Capital that ventures or my partner's information is also on there. Our team was also in there, but once you go to the website, it goes over what we do. It goes over our investment opportunities as well as. An ethic you that goes in details about why invest with us and our strategy, from our mission to our experience to unique markets we're focusing on and as well as our process of vetting projects in order to. Preserve investments, capital and so on. So I think the website is the most effective way of reaching out to us and connect with this. Speaker1: [00:25:11] Perfect. Perfect. And with that, Abdul, I really enjoyed the conversation. Yeah, and every time we chat, there is a lot of nuggets that I get from the conversation as well. And obviously, the other members really appreciates all the insight that you're bringing into their deals as well. So it becomes like a a feedback loop that that really everyone, everyone is benefiting from everyone else. So again, I really appreciate it. And are there any last pieces of either advice or anything that you'd like to share to the community overall as we go? Speaker2: [00:25:44] Yeah. Before I go. Definitely, I think, you know, appreciate your time. Thanks for bringing me on. And we would like feedback if you guys wanted to let us know what you think works on our website or what we're working on. We are open to feedback like, like I said, 100 percent transparent, but also do not hesitate to reach out and a lot of folks reach out on the backend and online, and that's fine. So I'm pretty much on all the medium available as far as this group communication. So. And if you don't, if you don't hear from me, I promise you guys that you'll hear back from me within 24 hours. I always tell people that twenty four within 24 hours, you'll hear from me. I'm either up in the air, but or are flying somewhere or about tune in somewhere, but definitely we'll reach out and then start having a conversation and go from there. Speaker1: [00:26:49] Awesome, awesome. So let's do good and do well. So this is arts capital. This is fabulous. And we really enjoyed this one. Thank you so much. Speaker2: [00:26:59] Likewise, thanks. Sure.

    Derrick Lee, based in Australia sought Raises.com to assist him in making his first private equity acquisition and own his first several asset management vehicle, Goldman Capital. He sought us for help in finding lenders to close off the debt portion needed to speed up his capital raise and wanted some investment banking know-how to do it quickly.

    After Using Raises.com

    We secured Derrick with a letter of commitment as well as senior debt providers for his $40m construction company under contract. With this, and our financial analysts, he was able to make a concise argument to non-bank lenders of the veracity of his ability to close the debt and acquire the deal.

Even though it wasn't our top mastermind one, he managed to put together three deals, with one in advanced due diligence set for completion. He also got some intel on deal structuring overall which he owes to our members and moderators. Good job Sam!

    Closed a 44-unit multifamily + car wash acquisition

    Full Case Study

    How Ade (Ascendi Capital) closed a 44-unit multifamily portfolio and a profitable car wash on one repeatable capital architecture

    This dossier documents the transition of Ade, founder of Ascendi Capital, from zero funded deals to two closed acquisitions: a 44-unit multifamily real estate portfolio and a profitable car wash operation. It maps each Raises.com deliverable (data room, PPM, subscription agreement, CFA-reviewed proformas, financier introductions) to the specific failure point it removed, including the mid-raise collapse of two committed investors on the multifamily deal. The mechanics are replicable for any first-time sponsor acquiring cash-flowing assets.

    In the client's own words

    “What’s the hesitation about? Just jump in... You have everything to gain by being part of raises.com because for me, I’ve seen it and I’ll testify.”
    , Ade, recorded interview
    “There are so many things that the investment bankers will charge you that if you go to raises.com you might get it for free or at a token.”
    , Ade, recorded interview

    1. Mandate profile

    • Buyer: Ade, first-time sponsor with a defined thesis: real assets in “defensible industries,” capital preservation first, “sustainable returns that are predictable.”
    • Targets closed: a 44-unit multifamily portfolio and a profitable car wash establishment, two different asset classes on one framework.
    • Engagement: the Two-Week Ready Raise Repeat program: data room, draft private placement memorandum, draft subscription agreement, CFA-built proformas, financier connections, and standing advisory calls.

    2. Situation at engagement

    Ade had deal flow and a sound thesis but no execution infrastructure: no institutional-grade PPM or subscription documents, no vetted legal and financial bench, and no repeatable process. He also identified his own blind spot with unusual candor: “at times when you’re working on a deal... you’re too close to it to realize that there might be a mistake here.” The vision was fundable; the package was not. He described what he was searching for as “a platform or individuals that I can bounce my ideas off.”

    3. The intervention

    • 3.1. Institutional documentation: assistance with creation and advisory of draft data room documents and materials produced the pitch deck, executive summary, PPM, and subscription agreement that converted a concept into an offering.
    • 3.2. Third-party credibility: connections to a chartered financial analyst charterholder to advise on, review, and build financial proformas, plus legal and financial advisors, gave the offering external validation before investors ever asked.
    • 3.3. Standing advisory cadence: in Ade’s words: “every time we go on the call...you guys have always been there to just support and give your feedback on what you think is missing.” The weekly cadence plus a private group of operators pressure-tested each decision in real time.

    4. Execution and outcome

    • 4.1. The 44-unit multifamily close: mid-raise, two committed investors pulled out, leaving “a huge hole to fill within a very short period of time.” Because the data room and legal package were complete, Ade re-approached new capital partners immediately and closed on March 17. The professional package converted a fatal gap into a timing problem.
    • 4.2. The car wash acquisition: the second close, on the same frameworks, proved repeatability across asset classes and prompted a site visit from the Raises.com founder. One system, two closed deals.

    5. Operator lessons (replicable)

    • Build the full institutional package before the raise, not during it. Investor dropouts are survivable only when the data room lets you re-market the deal in days.
    • Buy consolidated execution, not a la carte services. Ade’s comparison: what bankers itemize, the platform bundles “for free or at a token.”
    • Use an outside desk to catch what you cannot: the sponsor is structurally too close to the deal to see its flaws.
    • The two-week target is a forcing function: compressing document assembly builds momentum that carries through the raise.
