  • Discover how Sam Silverman raised over $100M in the last 4 years! And is involved in over $2B in real estate, debt, and business acquisitions.
    Jun 4 2025

    What does it take to raise over $100 million in just four years—while building a portfolio that spans more than $2 billion across real estate, debt, and business acquisitions?

    In this powerhouse episode, Sam Silverman, founder of Silverman Capital, lays it all out. From leaving corporate America to mastering capital raising at scale, Sam shares why he focuses on operator selection over deal structure, how he aligns interests with investors, and the real reason capital raisers get stuck. If you're serious about scaling your capital and doing it right, this conversation is a masterclass in execution, clarity, and strategy.


    5 Key Takeaways to learn from this episode:

    1. Quality Over Control:
      Sam prioritizes partnering with best-in-class operators, even if it means taking a back seat in management—because investor outcomes matter most.
    2. Capital Raising Is a Full-Time Business:
      Treating capital raising like a company, not a side hustle, is what helped Sam scale to $100M+ in four years.
    3. Clear Operator Standards:
      His selection criteria include access to proprietary deals, operational excellence, and a track record of investor-first outcomes.
    4. Why Most Capital Raisers Fail:
      According to Sam, they’re focused on promoting deals instead of providing value—and they lack the systems to nurture real investor relationships.
    5. Fund of Funds Done Right:
      Sam uses the FoF model to offer his LPs better terms, diversification, and deal access—while keeping his firm lean and efficient.
