MEET JARED BENSON
My first passive deal in 2015 went sideways, and scraping together $25K to watch it unravel was my wake-up call to diligence. Since then, I’ve focused on vetting sponsors, protecting capital, and sharing those lessons openly.
As both an operator and LP, I take an educator-first approach—plain English, no hype—so investors can confidently say “no” to the wrong deals and “yes” to the right ones.
ABOUT THE PODCAST
Why I started it
My first passive deal in 2015 didn’t go as planned. That experience pushed me to learn how to vet sponsors and protect capital—now I share those lessons.
TRIGGER STORY
I scraped together $25K as a “sophisticated” investor, begged in at half the minimum, and watched the deal hit unexpected turbulence. That was my wake-up call to diligence.
DEEPER MISSION
Raise the bar on transparency and stewardship so investors can say “no” faster to the wrong deals and “yes” with conviction to the right ones.
WHY TRUST ME
I’m an operator and LP who leads with plain English, shows my process, and brings on guests who can teach, not just pitch.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT
Educator-first. We unpack risk controls, incentives, liquidity, reporting, and communication—not just headline IRRs. No hype, no jargon.
LONG-TERM IMPACT
A community of informed investors who fund better operators and starve the sloppy ones.
