🛠️ BUILD OF THE WEEK

I kept giving away family office lists. You kept asking for more. So we built the full database, 3,400+ offices, and we're updating it every week.

It started as a single list. 60 family offices. Then you asked for more, so I built 200. Then 500, 750, 1,012. Every time I shared a slice on LinkedIn, thousands of comments and the same DM: "How did you find these? Can you send the whole thing?"

At some point a spreadsheet stops being the right container. You can't keep a static file current. Contacts change, families do new deals, someone new takes over real estate. So we stopped shipping spreadsheets and built the real thing: a live, searchable database we maintain for you. It's at investors.homebasecre.com, and here's what's actually in it.

The biggest checks come from money that has nothing to do with real estate.

Every GP I know pitches the same real estate families. They're operators themselves, they know your model cold, and they're the most competitive capital you can raise. Meanwhile the biggest checks in this database came from people who made their money selling foam cups, fast fashion, and Hot Pockets.

The family that makes your foam coffee cup built a $1.5B resort next to Disney World. 1,100 acres.

The founder of Zara paid $274M for a Miami office tower last year. He also quietly owns $722M of American warehouses.

The family that invented Hot Pockets sold to Nestlé for $2.6B. They now buy apartment buildings in Costa Mesa.

Most GPs have never pitched a single one of them. Not because they can't, but because they never knew they existed, or couldn't find the person to call. That's the whole problem this fixes.

What you actually get

3,400+ family offices that invest in US commercial real estate. For each one, where we have it:

• What they buy and where. Asset-class focus, geography, check size, investment style, co-invest friendliness, preferred structure. So you can find the offices that cover your market instead of guessing.

• The people, tagged by role. 13,000+ named decision-makers: Head of Real Estate, CIO, Principal, Investment Director. Not "here's a firm, good luck." Here's the person who runs real estate.

• How to reach them. LinkedIn profiles, emails, and phone numbers. 11,000+ carry a LinkedIn link, 6,900+ a direct email.

• The story behind the money. Founder and source of wealth, so you know how to talk to them before you ever reach out.

• What they're doing right now. An activity feed of deals, fund moves, and leadership changes, each with a date and a source link.

Find your market in about ten seconds

This is the part that actually saves you the weeks. Filter by asset class, geography, and check size, and the database returns the firms that match. Raising for Sun Belt multifamily at a $1M minimum? You get the offices that buy exactly that. Bookmark the ones you want, and as we update firm activity each week, you'll see every new deal and news item for the firms you're tracking.

The research that used to eat weeks per raise, one office at a time, becomes a filter and a shortlist.

It's built for you, and it's honest about what it knows

The tools that do a version of this were built for institutional placement teams and priced at $15,000+ a year. Useless for a GP raising a $10M deal. This is built for the operator doing their own outreach.

And it's honest in a way list products almost never are. When a data product pads its fields and labels guessed emails "verified," it torches your credibility with the exact people you're trying to reach. So we don't. An email is either verified (we SMTP-checked it or the firm published it) or marked on file (inferred, and we tell you so). We never dress up a guess. We never turn an info@ inbox into a person. If we don't have a field, it's empty. Every profile shows its last-verified date, and the whole thing is re-verified monthly.

A database that tells you when it doesn't know something is worth more than one that pretends it knows everything.

📋 SEE YOUR MARKET FOR YOURSELF

I'd rather show you than tell you. The database is live at investors.homebasecre.com, and you can filter the real firms by asset class, geography, and check size with no account at all. Pull up your market and see who's there.

The lists showed you a slice. This is the map, and unlike a spreadsheet, it's still going to be current on your next raise, and the one after that.

One more thing, for early readers

Since we just launched, the first 50 people to sign up get 50% off for life with code: FIRST50. First 50, then it's gone. If the database is useful for your raise, this is the moment to lock it in.

Why this matters now

Every GP is fighting over the same handful of LPs they already know. The edge was never a better pitch. It's knowing who exists that your competition doesn't, and reaching the right person before anyone else does.

The gap between operators who build a pipeline nobody else has and everyone else is widening fast.
