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...”
