Stop waiting to feel ready. Capital raisers are made, not born.
Capital raisers are the most wanted people in any deal room. Funds Formula is the structured 90-day track that gets you there.
Auto-renews at $97/month on Day 8. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing else.
You're not stuck because you lack drive or deals.
You're stuck because nobody handed you the role that actually gets you into the room.
If you’re still reading,
you’re in the right place.
Everything inside Funds Formula comes directly from what we built, the mistakes we made along the way, the compliance lessons we learned firsthand, and the deals we’ve closed by doing exactly what we teach.
Karolyn Briley
Co-Founder, Opal Equity
Karolyn entered real estate in 2021 with zero dollars and zero doors. She quit her W-2, burned the boats, and went all in. By the end of 2022 she had her first 43 units. She then shifted her focus from running deals to structuring them — becoming a trusted capital partner with the right operators. In 12 months, she went from 43 units to over 430. Today she’s a partner in over 600 units across a $350MM+ portfolio.
“I stopped acquiring deals as an operator and used my relationships, structure, and strategy instead. I’m starting with proximity, learning how capital moves, and plugging into the right strategic partnerships to scale quickly.”
Christy Schnurle
Co-Founder, Opal Equity
Christy spent the first five years of her career at WNC & Associates — one of the top privately held affordable housing owners in the U.S. — working in acquisitions, underwriting, and due diligence across nearly $300MM in closed transactions. She’s been inside this industry longer than most people have been paying attention to it. As co-founder of Opal Equity and The REI Board, and an MBA graduate with honors from USC, Christy brings analytical depth and a real-world track record.
“The analytical depth and real-world track record that turns an overwhelming space into a clear, executable plan.”
Together, Christy and Karolyn used this same model to structure their own capital raise, access a 168-unit Class B+ multifamily asset in Addison, TX, and deliver early distributions and a 93% K-1 paper loss to their investors in year one.
This isn’t a program built by people who read about capital raising. It’s built by people who are actively doing it, and have been for years.
This isn’t a course. It’s not a library you’ll never open. Funds Formula is a structured 90-day track with a private community, live monthly calls, real operator access, and done-for-you frameworks — organized around one outcome: making you someone operators want to work with and investors trust with their capital.
Auto-renews at $97/month on Day 8. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing else.
A structured, sequenced curriculum built from real raises. Every module tells you exactly what to do next — no guessing, no gaps, no wasted motion.
After 90 days: The track ends at 90 days. The access doesn’t.
Monthly training, live operator sessions, and direct access to Christy and Karolyn as they navigate real deals in real time.
Lee Gunasinghe
Commercial Real Estate Investor
Lee spent over a decade investing on his own. Then he had a quadruple bypass, and it forced a hard question: what happens to everything I’ve built if I’m not here to run it?
He needed a path that didn’t depend entirely on him. After joining Funds Formula, Lee closed a 128-unit deal of his own. Then he set up a 480-unit Fund of Funds, partnering with an operator managing over 1,500 doors and 4 hotels. He went from a few doors to 608 units in a single year.
Not because he out-worked everyone. Because he learned the right skill at the right time.
They have shown me, taught me, and advised me how to improve my portfolio, how to vet investors and operators properly, how to create a Fund of Funds correctly, and how to navigate SEC guidelines and compliance. I’m grateful and thankful for what they have taught me and for showing me the path to be a smart and successful multifamily owner operator.
“The capital raising piece is so helpful to me!!!”
“The capital stack and waterfall content is next level.”
“It’s 11:14pm here and I’m so excited I can’t sleep.”
“It’s 3am in Nashville and I woke an hour ago with FoF swirling in my brain...”
Done-for-you frameworks. Real operator access. Live calls every month. Direct access to Christy and Karolyn as they work real deals. No theory. No libraries you’ll never open. A structured path to the room you actually want to be in.
When you join, here’s what you get access to immediately.

Value: $197Real breakdowns from Lee, Donna, and Steven. What they did, why they did it, and what you can take from each story and apply to your own path immediately.
Value: $97A recorded session with a securities attorney covering SEC basics, Reg D, the Howey Test, and what you can and can’t say when raising capital. The kind of session most people pay hundreds of dollars for separately. Framed as education, not legal advice.
Value: $497Everything you need to show up credibly: pitch deck template, investor FAQ template, email and DM scripts for first investor conversations, and a fund structure comparison guide. Released when you’re ready to use it.
Value: $147All bonuses unlock automatically. Cancel anytime during your trial.
Veena Jetti is the founder of Vive Funds and has closed over $1 billion in multifamily transactions. She’s one of the most respected operators in the commercial real estate space, and she runs one of the industry’s most sought-after investor communities. On a recent coaching call with her members, she said this:
Veena didn’t send her community to a course. She sent them to the specialists.
Donna Chartier
Capital Raiser
Donna was already raising capital when she joined Funds Formula. She thought she was doing it right. She wasn’t. After going through the program, Donna sent an active deal to a securities attorney, who restructured the entire thing to make it compliant. What could have been a costly mistake became a turning point.
We were raising capital already, but now we’re doing it with our eyes wide open. It was huge for us.
Steven Loewer
Multifamily Investor
Steven had been in real estate for years and ran a private lending company in Canada. He wasn’t new. He just didn’t have a clear path into U.S. multifamily, and he knew it. That clarity turned into action fast. After completing Funds Formula, Steven co-runs a 20-person multifamily team actively underwriting deals across the U.S. and co-founded a title company.
I didn’t really have a clear path. The fund of funds education was really like the launch pad — now I’m focused. Now I know what I want to do. I learned so many things from you guys… eternally grateful.
We made the entry point this low on purpose. Not as a gimmick — but because we’re confident that once you’re inside, you’ll see exactly what this is worth.

A capital raiser is the person who connects investors with deals. You're not the one finding the property, negotiating the contract, or managing the asset — you're the person who brings the money to the table, legally and professionally. It's one of the most valued roles in commercial real estate, and it's dramatically underestimated by people who are new to the space. Yes, that's what you're building toward inside Funds Formula.
No. You don't need to have closed a deal, managed a property, or raised a dollar. What you do need is a genuine interest in building this skill set and a network you can eventually put to work. Funds Formula meets you where you are and builds from there.
On Day 8, your membership auto-renews at $97/month and your full access unlocks: the complete resource vault, all bonuses not yet released, and the full replay library. If you cancel before Day 8, you pay nothing else. No hoops, no hard sells.
Because dumping everything on you at once doesn't actually help you move faster. The month-by-month structure keeps you focused on the right things at the right time, so you're building in sequence instead of bouncing around. Members who follow the track get further, faster.
No. Every call is recorded and added to the replay library. New members get full access to the archive regardless of when they join, so nothing is ever out of reach.
Most members spend 2–3 hours per week, between the monthly calls, curriculum work, and community engagement. The Capital Raiser's Fast Track is designed to be actionable without being a second job.
No. Funds Formula is an educational membership, not a law firm. The Compliance Safety Briefing is taught by a securities attorney and framed as education only. For anything specific to your situation, you'll want your own legal counsel. We'll point you in the right direction on that too.
Month 1 starts with building your investor avatar from who you already know, which is usually more than people think. You don't need a list of millionaires — you need a starting point and a system. That's exactly what the first 30 days are designed to give you.
Most courses give you information. Funds Formula gives you a structured path with specific deliverables at each stage, live access to active operators you'd never get in front of otherwise, and direct access to Christy and Karolyn as they navigate real deals in real time. The $1 trial exists because we'd rather you experience it than take our word for it.
Monthly is $97/month, cancel anytime. Annual is $797 billed once, which saves you roughly $370 and locks in your rate. If you're serious about completing the Capital Raiser's Fast Track and staying through the advanced curriculum, annual is the better value.
Complete the Capital Raiser's Fast Track milestones across all three months. If you did the work and still don't feel at least 10× clearer and more confident about your path as a capital raiser, we'll refund your first 90 days. The condition is completion. We stand behind the program for members who actually show up.
The $1 trial exists because we want you inside, not on the fence. Seven days. Full access. See exactly what this is and decide for yourself.
Auto-renews at $97/month on Day 8 — cancel anytime before then and pay nothing else.
