Raise Capital from Family Offices
A two-day interactive workshop for sponsors and entrepreneurs seeking long-term, aligned capital for real estate ventures
Family offices are funding the next generation of platforms, projects, and GPs—quietly and decisively.
While institutional capital follows playbooks, family offices follow relationships. Their decisions are personal, strategic, and idiosyncratic. Which means raising capital from family offices isn’t about blasting pitch decks—it’s about aligning with their worldview, tailoring your structure, and building trust from the first interaction.
At Thesis Driven, we believe family offices are the most underappreciated—and misunderstood—investor class in the market today. That’s why we’re launching a new workshop designed to help emerging sponsors and real estate entrepreneurs build lasting relationships with this powerful source of capital.
Introducing the Raising Capital from Family Offices Workshop
A two-day interactive workshop (1.5 hours each day) designed for real estate operators, sponsors, and entrepreneurs who want to raise aligned capital from family offices and high-net-worth investors.
This is not a lecture—it’s a working session. You’ll dig into real-world case studies, dissect deal structures, and walk away with an investor list, sample decks, and cold email templates you can use immediately. You’ll even write and get feedback on your own outreach campaign live in the workshop.
Whether you’re raising for a one-off project or launching a long-term platform, this workshop will help you position your opportunity, structure the right deal, and build the relationships that unlock real capital.
👉 Sign up here for the June 23–24 workshop
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
Understand how family offices actually invest—decision-making, check sizes, timelines, and motivations.
Compare common investment structures—platform investments, joint ventures, co-GP deals, and LP capital.
Learn from case studies—real examples of family office-backed GPs and the structures they used.
Build your investor network—how to find family offices, get warm intros, and convert them into real conversations.
Create your own marketing materials—build a custom deck and cold outreach campaign with templates and feedback.
Negotiate term sheets—what control, fees, and governance look like in family office-backed deals.
Plus a walkthrough of illustrative case studies:
Fred & Rise Capital – Building a regionally focused industrial platform with a single-family office anchor.
Rachel & Grove Living – Using a co-GP structure to launch a rental housing platform with a tech founder’s family office.
Dee & Solace Communities – Attracting LP capital from a multigenerational family office for wellness-focused housing.
Who is this for?
This workshop is built for real estate entrepreneurs and capital raisers who want to build a relationship-driven capital base—not just chase institutions. For GPs who are tired of 9-month institutional timelines and want to work with flexible, long-term partners. And for anyone who wants to understand the motivations, strategies, and structures behind the quiet capital shaping the future of real estate.
Format & Cost
The workshop is two days, 1.5 hours per day, delivered virtually in a live, interactive format.
Students will receive investor lists, deck templates, and direct feedback on their outreach strategy.
Cost: $499
The next session is on June 23 & 24 from 12:00–1:30pm EDT.
Sessions will be recorded, and students will gain access to our Circle community for ongoing resources and support.
