Practice
Where we focus.
01
Capital Introductions
Sponsor introductions to aligned commercial lenders for ground-up construction, value-add, small multifamily (5+ unit), and business-purpose residential investment property in the $50K–$120M range.
02
Consulting
Operational advisory for construction-stage builders. Capital stack readiness, project documentation, pro forma format, and trade partner access — on a non-contingent retainer or fixed-fee basis. Independent of any capital introduction engagement.
03
Trade Partner Referrals
Vetted concrete, masonry, and foundation trade partners introduced into capital-backed projects on the project's own commercial terms.
The Engagement
How an introduction works.
We do one thing well: open the right door, then step back. Counterparties communicate directly and remain responsible for their own diligence, negotiation, documentation, and professional advice.
01
Project Review
Sponsor shares the project memo, capital need, location, timeline, sponsor background, and current capital stack.
02
Fit Assessment
We review fit by corridor, project size, project stage, lender mandate, trade-partner relevance, and readiness.
03
Direct Introduction
When there is alignment, the firm makes a direct introduction between the appropriate counterparties.
04
Counterparties Proceed Directly
After the introduction, counterparties communicate directly and own their diligence, negotiation, and documentation.
05
Written Engagement Terms
Any compensation arrangement, when applicable, is documented in writing in advance with the appropriate counterparty.
Boundaries
What Clay Capital Group does not do.
Clay Capital Group does not raise equity, syndicate LP interests, place securities, negotiate financing terms, handle investor or borrower funds, underwrite loans, draft transaction documents, or represent either party in a transaction. The firm provides capital introduction, operational consulting, and trade-partner referral services only. Consulting engagements are governed by a separate written agreement and are non-contingent on any financing closing.

Single principal, full attention.
Clay Capital Group is a principal-led capital introduction firm focused on four U.S. construction-finance corridors. Single-member, single-decision-maker, and small on purpose.
Every engagement is reviewed and routed personally — never mass-submitted to a list of lenders, never handed to an associate. The work scales by relationship, not volume.
