Umang remembers raising his first $2 million in 69 days. It was an early milestone that demonstrated his ability to connect investors with opportunities.

As his deal activity grew, so did his ambitions. Over time, he structured and helped raise capital for 19 deals, building a network of more than 177 repeat investors.

But growing a fund management business brought a new challenge: how to keep expanding his investor reach without relying entirely on his own time and relationships.

Despite the scale of his accomplishments, Umang reveals something unexpected in his testimonial. People assumed he had a capital raising team of 30, 40, or even 50 people. In reality, much of the work had been driven by him.

His personal network had helped him build significant momentum. But like any network, its activity could fluctuate. Investor interest would accelerate, then slow down.

To reach his next goal of 1,000 investors over five years, he needed a way to expand beyond the limitations of a single network.

Umang's business focuses on acquiring and operating hospitality properties, with deals such as a full service Marriott hotel in Columbus, where he raised $13.5 million in less than 90 days. As his portfolio and acquisition opportunities grow, raising capital through his personal investor network alone becomes increasingly limiting. By leveraging Avestor's Fund of Funds Program, Umang can collaborate with capital partners who raise through their own investor networks, creating a broader capital raising ecosystem around his hotel investments. This approach allows him to pursue larger opportunities, expand his investor reach, and focus more of his time on what he does best: finding, acquiring, and operating hotels.

As those partners grow their networks and Umang continues developing his, their combined reach creates an opportunity to accelerate investor growth.

The approach also allows him to stay focused on what he believes operators should prioritize: operating.

Umang's ambition is not simply to raise more capital for the next deal. It is to build a broader, more resilient investor network that can support opportunities over time.

His experience raising $13.5 million in less than 90 days for a full service Marriott deal in Columbus demonstrates the scale of capital raising he has already achieved.

Now, the Fund of Funds model represents a potential path to the next stage of growth, allowing him to collaborate with capital partners while continuing to focus on the operational side of the business.

Umang's experience highlights an important distinction between raising capital independently and building a collaborative capital raising network.

The goal is not simply to add more people to a team. It is to create a structure where partners can contribute their own investor relationships, participate in opportunities, and expand the collective reach of the business.

That is the opportunity behind Avestor's Fund of Funds Program. Avestor supports a model in which capital partners can use Feeder SPVs or Customizable Funds to participate in sponsor offerings, with connected technology and operational support.

The potential result is a more scalable approach to capital raising, without requiring every sponsor to build a large in-house capital raising organization.
