Since we launched CapitalStack this summer, it’s become the backbone of how a growing number of sponsors, capital markets professionals, and placement agents build their investor pipelines.
What started as Version 1.0 with 2,000 investors has quickly grown into a much bigger engine:
3,500+ family office investors now in the database (and +2,500 RIAs, PERE funds, and hedge funds)
Weekly live sessions, including our monthly Capital Markets AMA
Micro-workshops on topics like marketing to family offices and LinkedIn for GPs
Investor call notes and mandate intel added every week as we speak directly with CIOs, principals, and investment teams
All of this is powered by a human research team talking to investors, structuring data, tagging it with a capital markets lens, and turning those conversations into real signal for subscribers–not just a glorified phone book.
But it’s not cheap to maintain or grow. So we’re raising prices for CapitalStack to $149 per month on December 5th.
The good news?
Existing Founding Members will keep their grandfathered pricing of $99 per month.
If you subscribe before the end of the month, you’ll keep that rate even as new users come in at $149/month.
Matchmaking Beta Launches December 15
On December 15, we’re launching our Matchmaking beta.
In this first phase, investors and GPs will be sent five curated matches every two weeks–pairings based on strategy, check size, geography, and risk profile, using the same underlying mandate data that powers the CapitalStack database.
To participate in Matchmaking, you’ll need to be a paid CapitalStack subscriber. Founding Members at $99/month will have the same access as those on the new $149/month plan.
Why this still isn’t “just” a database
Like our Developer & Owner database, CapitalStack is human-built and human-curated.
In a world of plentiful–but imperfect–scrapers and AI tools, high-quality, structured investor data is still rare. Especially in real estate, where “family office,” “multi family office investor,” and “credit opportunities fund” can each mean wildly different things in practice.
We’re on the phone with investors every week refining:
What they actually want to see (deal size, structure, sector, geography)
What they definitely don’t want to see
How they think about new relationships and pacing commitments
That work shows up in CapitalStack as updated profiles, better tags, richer call notes, and smarter matching–plus the weekly events and workshops where we share what we’re learning in real time.
Who should subscribe to CapitalStack?
In short, anyone raising, placing, or allocating capital in private real estate:
Sponsors & Developers. If you’re building a long-tail pipeline of family offices, RIAs, and niche PERE firms, CapitalStack gives you a structured starting point–investor mandates, contacts, and call notes so you’re not emailing into the void.
Capital Markets Professionals & Placement Agents. Run better, faster processes by finding the right pockets of capital for each deal instead of recycling the same short list of institutions.
Investor Relations & Strategy Teams. Benchmark peers, see who is active in your space, and identify new capital partners aligned with your strategy.
Investors. Family offices, RIAs, and funds use CapitalStack to compare peers, sharpen their own mandates, and selectively surface aligned sponsors.
If you’ve been on the fence about joining, November is the last month to become a Founding Member at $99/month and lock in that pricing for at least the next two years—and be first in line for Matchmaking when it launches on December 15.
