Design Scalable OpCo-PropCo Models
A two-day interactive workshop for operators and investors structuring the next generation of real estate platforms
The next generation of real estate companies won’t just build assets—they’ll build platforms.
But platforms don’t scale on vision alone. They need structure.
From coworking to coliving to niche hospitality, we’ve seen promising businesses falter not because of weak demand or poor execution—but because they raised the wrong capital, from the wrong partners, on the wrong terms.
The result? Misaligned incentives. Unsustainable burn. And a trail of failed ventures that could have been enduring platforms—if only they had been structured correctly from the start.
At Thesis Driven, we want to help real estate entrepreneurs and investors rethink structure as strategy. The OpCo-PropCo model isn’t just a legal wrapper—it’s a playbook for building durable, investor-aligned companies that can grow without breaking.
Introducing the OpCo-PropCo Structuring Workshop
A two-day interactive workshop (1.5 hours each day) designed for operators, entrepreneurs, and investors who are building real estate-backed businesses—and want to get the structure right from the start.
This is not a passive lecture. It’s a hands-on session that blends real-world case studies, capital stack walkthroughs, and investor-aligned frameworks you can apply to your own company immediately. Whether you’re launching a hospitality concept, expanding a logistics platform, or investing in an emerging alternative asset class, this workshop will give you the tools to build smarter, more investable deals. Sign up here for the May 6th workshop.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to’:
Understand the OpCo/PropCo model—how and why companies separate real estate from operations.
Structure OpCo/PropCo capital stacks—mapping investor profiles, deal terms, and governance structures.
Evaluate case studies of successful platforms—learning from hospitality, logistics, housing, and niche real estate sectors.
Develop a GTM strategy—walking through real-world investor conversations.
You’ll leave with a sharper lens for evaluating and executing these structures—whether you’re launching a platform, investing in one, or advising a founder.
Plus a walk through of illustrative case studies in action:
Sam & FlexHouse Offices – Creating a flexible office operating company using PropCo partnerships, then launching new PropCo
Amelia & NewPath Homes – Launching an SFR platform through an OpCo/PropCo structure with HNWIs and a family office
Rebeka & Restored Hotels – Forming a co-GP partnership to build a niche hotel brand and portfolio
Who is this for?
This workshop is built for real estate entrepreneurs who want to raise capital for platforms—not just projects. For investors looking to understand the difference between a hospitality brand and a PropCo lease. And for anyone who’s building something real—and wants to build it to last.
Format & Cost
The workshop is two days, 1.5 hours per day, delivered virtually in a live, interactive format. Students will walk away with hands-on frameworks, examples, and peer feedback on their own structuring strategy. The cost is $499.
The next session is on May 6th & 7th from 12-1:30pm EDT (note it will be recorded, and access will be granted to an online community with resources following the webinar). Sign up here.
