Capital Formation/Capital Raising Roles Q

Historically been on the acquisitions/development side but have built a good amount of LP relationships from my last role and after a stint going off on my own. Have a great grasp generally on what is a fit for what LP and have spent a lot of time with LPs who seem to trust my judgement enough to give me the time of day and want to do deals together.

Have been speaking to a recruiter on a capital raising role. I do not have formal IR or strictly capital formation experience so wondering what day to day is like and what I should be prepared to answer/do on a daily basis. This is for a smallish developer in a product type and market I know extremely well although I know development is tough to raise for right now. They've built some very real projects but have been raising friends and family until now.

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”
