About the workshop

A two-day interactive workshop for real estate sponsors, entrepreneurs, and fund managers who want to build scalable strategies for raising capital from individual investors at scale.

Over two 90-minute live sessions, you'll learn how to design compliant retail fundraising vehicles, leverage digital marketing to attract investors, and build systems that scale beyond friends-and-family. You'll walk away with frameworks, case studies, and actionable strategies to expand your capital base without losing focus on real estate execution.

Participants receive pre-read materials, including sample offering structures, compliance checklists, and marketing frameworks, and gain post-course access to Circle, where we share recorded videos, example investor funnels, and outreach templates.

You'll learn how to

Structure retail offerings

Understand Reg A, Reg D 506(c), crowdfunding portals, and syndication platforms.

Build scalable investor funnels

Apply digital marketing, content strategy, and CRM tools to generate a steady flow of prospects.

Communicate with retail investors

Craft messaging and educational content that builds trust and reduces friction.

Design investor operations

Set up systems for onboarding, KYC/AML, payment processing, and ongoing reporting.

Protect compliance and reputation

Avoid common mistakes that lead to SEC issues or investor dissatisfaction.

You'll leave with a roadmap to raise capital from hundreds (or thousands) of individual investors — and the playbook to do it efficiently and legally.
