The Raising Capital Show

Marinas are the most overlooked syndication opportunity in real estate right now. Angela Durham breaks down how her firm buys underperforming mom-and-pop marinas, adds wet slips, restaurants, rentals and lodging, and turns them into cash-flowing hybrid real estate + business assets for investors. In this episode of the Entrepreneur Podcast, we cover marina acquisitions, value-add strategy, seller financing, working with retail vs institutional investors, 1031 exchanges, and the LEGAL must-knows for raising capital for a marina fund (Reg D, 506(b) vs 506(c), PPMs, and Corps of Engineers approvals). If you're a syndicator, fund manager, or accredited investor looking beyond multifamily and mobile home parks — watch this before you buy a marina.

White-collar jobs aren't safe from AI. Most businesses die from undercapitalization, and investors don't invest because of a post — they invest because they know, like, and trust you. In this episode, we break down how to raise capital in ANY economy, why proper capitalization keeps you out of emergency mode, how to use AI instead of fearing it, and the "lazy" social media system to build investor trust with just a couple thousand followers. We cover raising capital for startups and funds, startup funding strategies, venture capital vs syndication thinking, why most businesses fail, and how entrepreneurs can survive loneliness, sleepless nights, and constant decision pressure through community. Perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs, real estate syndicators, fund managers, and small business owners looking to raise capital, build investor trust on social media, and navigate AI entrepreneurship.

Are you looking to improve your investor closing success? In many cases, the assumption is that the issue comes down to the pitch itself. The deck needs improvement, the webinar needs to be sharper, or the presentation needs to sound more polished. But what's missing is the actual investor conversations; the issue is usually happening much earlier in the process. Jenniffer Maldonado is an incredibly successful hotel syndicator, closing and running a portfolio of hotels of more than $100 million in hospitality. She also runs a separate women-focused investor capitalization program called the Rapid Raise Method. ===================================== ✅ Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel: @entrepreknew     Stay plugged into weekly insights, founder interviews, and practical strategies to build momentum as a modern entrepreneur.

In episode 148 of The Raising Capital Show, Nate Dodson sits down with Dave Dubeau to discuss how syndicators and fund managers use podcasting as a direct path to raising more capital.  Instead of chasing downloads or trying to book celebrity guests, there is a smarter approach: design your show around your investor avatar, highlight them as guests, and use each episode as a stepping stone toward accredited investor meetings. Then repurpose the show's content for marketing outreach as an end-to-end marketing system.  This is how to structure interviews to open up investment conversations, build your authority in the investment world, and repurpose podcast content into a full marketing system. Here are some real-world examples of syndicators who used this approach to secure investments and even connect with billion-dollar fund managers.  Highlights: "Forget downloads. The real value is in interviewing your ideal investors directly." "Podcasting becomes your relationship-building machine, not just another piece of media." "With the right system, every episode creates trust, authority, and new opportunities for discovery calls."
