At the real estate investment group I used to work at, the guys who would raise capital usually had relationships with capital sources that were cultivated over the span of their career. I always assumed that that was the way capital raising worked everywhere. And the capital sources rarely solicited for new business because guys would usually just call them. I am personally not aware of any group that has dedicated professionals for sourcing capital. And I am certain that there aren't any who lateraled from investment banking because that would be a step down. But, I guess I could be wrong.

Personally, I would stick to what you are doing. The skill set you are developing now is more valuable than the skill set needed to raise capital.

And, I have to ask...are you saying that you think an MBA is "feminine"? What exactly do you mean by that?

There are a few real estate placement agents out there. I think protego just got bought out by Macquarie. CS used to be the best RE placement agent until the two top guys started their own firm - hodes and weill I think. There is also M3 capital partners and in europe a few of the brokerage firms (CBRE, JLL, DTZ) have private funds groups. There is CP Eaton or Eaton partners and Eastdil does some fundraising for REPE funds. Lazard has a private funds advisory and so does greenhill. Blackstone uses Park Hill group - which is an in-house firm that does third party work as well.

These firms are just a bunch of guys with massive rolodexes.
