| The S&P 500 slipped 0.14 percent to 7,498.96 as oil prices jumped roughly 3 percent on the latest round of United States strikes against Iran, keeping inflation risk in focus while investors awaited results from Alphabet and Tesla. The FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs index fell 0.52 percent to 872.29 as rate-sensitive property names absorbed the drift higher in long-term yields. The 10-year yield moved up four basis points to 4.63 percent, near a two-month high, widening fixed-rate take-out pricing and thinning the cushion on refi underwriting just as the Federal Reserve enters its pre-meeting blackout. SOFR rose four basis points to 3.61 percent, adding to floating-rate carry for sponsors holding bridge and construction paper. |

AI in Capital Raising
Artificial intelligence is not replacing the relationships that drive real estate fundraising. It is rapidly eliminating the research, preparation, and administrative work that has traditionally consumed much of a capital-raising team’s time. Investor lists that once took weeks to build can now be assembled in hours, while outreach, meeting preparation, and follow-up can be handled with far greater speed and precision.
That shift is beginning to create a meaningful competitive divide. Sponsors using AI can identify the right investors sooner, personalize more outreach, and run more conversations simultaneously. The advantage is not simply lower costs or fewer manual tasks. It is the ability to build momentum faster than teams still managing fundraising through spreadsheets, fragmented databases, and labor-intensive research.
To help real estate firms close that gap, Thesis Driven co-founder Brad Hargraves has partnered with Propmodo on AI in Real Estate Capital Raising, a hands-on workshop for sponsors, GPs, and fundraising professionals. The program focuses on practical tools and workflows teams can use immediately, without replacing the judgment, credibility, and relationships that ultimately determine whether investors commit.
