Changing the Real Estate Capital Game
Guest: Badri Malynur, Avestor
In today’s first episode of my new podcast and YouTube show, The Allocator: A New Way to Finance Real Estate, I’m joined by Badri Malynur, co-founder of Avestor. Badri explains how Avestor caters to the needs of the real estate capital formation industry by providing a platform that redefines how funds are created and managed.
What is an Allocator?
An allocator is someone who typically negotiates preferential terms (such as higher preferred returns or more favorable promote splits) with a sponsor in exchange for delivering a significant investment into a deal. Once the terms are secured, the allocator pools investments from other individuals to meet the negotiated threshold. They may share the preferential terms with their investors or retain the difference as compensation for their efforts.
How Avestor is Different
Unlike platforms such as Juniper Square or IMS, which primarily serve as document management systems, Avestor goes further by integrating these backend processes with a customizable fund model. This model allows sponsors and allocators to create funds that consolidate offerings from multiple sponsors, giving investors the flexibility to allocate their capital as they see fit across various deals within the same fund.
Streamlined Processes
Avestor simplifies fund management by providing a single Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) that covers all deals within a fund, along with individualized deal disclosure statements. Investors receive a consolidated K1 at year-end, eliminating the need for multiple documents. By reducing legal fees and administrative burdens, the platform makes fund creation and management more efficient for allocators, sponsors, and their investors.
Additional Resources and Support
Beyond fund customization, Avestor provides pre-developed legal templates, accounting support, and optional marketing partnerships. It also offers access to educational content, mastermind groups, and tools to help fund managers grow their businesses, creating a comprehensive solution for those looking to streamline capital raising and fund management.
Badri and I discuss the Avestor platform and the capital allocator industry in detail. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
