For Developers
Capital Strategy for Community Developers
Minimize the guesswork
You're building something your community needs—a housing project that creates stability, a community center that brings people together, or a mixed-use development that anchors a neighborhood. But turning that vision into reality requires capital, and navigating the community funding landscape can feel overwhelming.
I help you structure the capital stack, craft a compelling narrative that resonates with funders, and connect you with the right funding sources so you can actually close the deal. No guesswork, no wasted time—just a clear path from concept to construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not sure which option I need?
Start with the $1,500 Diagnostic. If you need more support after, you can upgrade to the Sprint ($3,500) or Execution Strategy ($5,000). Or book a free 15-minute clarity call and I'll help you decide.
Do you work on projects outside of affordable housing?
Yes—mixed-use, workforce housing, market-rate with community benefit, TOD (transit-oriented development), adaptive reuse, community facilities. If it has a complex capital stack and community impact, I can help.
What if my financing closes before we finish the Sprint, Execution, or Pre-Dev engagement?
We'll pivot to your next project or pause and resume when you need support again. No refunds, but full flexibility.
Can I pay in installments?
No—all engagements are due in full at booking. This ensures commitment and allows me to prioritize your project immediately.
What if I need ongoing support beyond these engagements?
That's what the Developer Capital Engine ($15K+) is designed for. It's a 12-18 month strategic partnership through capital close. Apply via the form and we'll discuss if it's the right fit.
Do you provide warm introductions to funders?
Only in the Developer Capital Engine engagement. For Diagnostic, Sprint, Execution Strategy, and Pre-Dev Strategy, you get funder recommendations, contact info, and scripts—but you make the introductions yourself.
Jan 2026 Win: How I Helped a Developer Begin to Close a $2.5M Gap in 8 Weeks
The Project
$98M mixed-use TOD project
The Problem
Developer had $95.5M committed but a $2.5M gap was blocking construction loan closing. Municipal funding timing was uncertain and their lender wouldn't move forward without a backup plan.
01
What I Did
Identified 4 concrete gap sources with contact names, phone numbers, and exact outreach scripts
02
Built the Narrative
Created the "catalyticvimpact" story for every stakeholder
03
Delivered the Roadmap
Created an 8-week action plan with weekly checkboxes

The Result: Client now has 2 backup funding options and path to close construction financing.
