HERO Capital Raising Show

Discover how to raise over $100 million in private capital and secure nine figures more from institutional investors.
Join Tim Mai as he sits down with Marcin Drozdz, a seasoned capital raiser and managing partner of M1 Real Capital. In this episode, Marcin shares his journey from navigating the 2008 market crash to building an eight-figure fund and acquiring 1,600+ apartment units.
The Power of Personal Branding in Capital Raising

Marcin emphasizes that a strong personal brand is the difference-maker in capital raising. It builds trust, eliminates doubt, and shifts investors' focus from "if" to "when and how much" they will invest.

Leverage Your Unique Skillset for Credibility
Identify your "unfair advantage"—the one area where you have irrefutable expertise—and use it to create authenticity and trust when engaging with investors.

Education Over Pitching in Challenging Markets
In uncertain times, adopt an educational approach to build trust with investors. Clearly explain market dynamics and why selective deal-making showcases prudence and expertise.

Consistency in Messaging is Crucial
Craft a narrative around your personal story, motivations, and market strategy, and repeat it across all platforms.

Significance is Key to Investor Relationships
Beyond financial returns, investors value feeling significant. Simple touches, like celebrating "deal anniversaries" or highlighting their stories, can build loyalty and encourage referrals.
