About 818 Capital Partners
“How many deals could you do, with the right partner?”
Built by operators. Built for operators.
818 Capital Partners was built with a clear conviction — and a clear purpose.
For too long, private lending has operated as a gatekeeping exercise rather than a growth engine. Capable operators — the ones developing homes, rezoning parcels, building apartment buildings, and revitalizing neighborhoods — were routinely handed capital structured to extract value, not create it. High rates. Punishing terms. Rigid qualification boxes that disqualify good deals and good people.
818 Capital Partners exists to change that equation.
We leverage technology to streamline what was once a slow, opaque, relationship-dependent process — while restoring the human element that institutional lending lost somewhere along the way. Our platform connects serious operators with capital that understands their projects, respects their experience, and is structured to see deals to the finish line.
The question we ask is not “How many deals have you done?” — it is “How many deals could you do, with the right partner?”
We specialize in Fix & Flip, DSCR, Bridge, and Commercial financing — with an advisory-first approach that prioritizes your project's success over transaction volume. Whether you're a seasoned developer expanding your portfolio or an emerging operator making your first move, we're here to get you across the finish line.

Ravi Punn
Founder & Principal, 818 Capital Partners
Ravi Punn is a serial entrepreneur and real estate developer with over 20 years of hands-on experience across the full development lifecycle. Since 2006, he has been directly involved in more than $100 million in real estate transactions — not as a spectator, but as an operator, builder, and investor who has navigated the complexity of the market from the ground up.
His career spans single-family development, rezoning, ground-up construction, investment syndication, and multifamily acquisitions. He has sourced deals, structured capital, managed contractors, worked with municipal bodies, and delivered projects — the kind of experience that can only be earned by doing the work, not reading about it.
Ravi founded 818 Capital Partners after spending years on the borrower side of the table — watching capable developers get turned away by lenders who couldn't see past a credit score, or get funded on terms that quietly undermined the deal they were trying to build. He knew there was a better way. Not just a cheaper way. A smarter way.
That path wasn't without turbulence. Developing at volume means navigating joint ventures, partner dynamics, regulatory complexity, and market cycles that don't always cooperate. Real estate at scale is a contact sport — and the operators who pretend otherwise are usually the ones you should be most cautious of. Those experiences, the hard ones, are precisely what shaped Ravi's conviction that operators deserve capital partners who understand what it actually takes to build.
At 818 Capital, Ravi applies an operator's lens to every deal he touches. He evaluates projects the way a developer would — scrutinizing the economics, the exit, the market, and the person executing. His advisory process is relational, educational, and direct. He doesn't pitch — he problem-solves.
Beyond real estate, Ravi has built and operated businesses across multiple industries — from enterprise technology sales to luxury custom menswear. Every one of them was built the same way: by showing up, earning trust, and solving real problems for real people.
He is based in the New York metro area, where he is actively building a lending and advisory platform designed to do one thing: get the right operators the right capital, so they can go build something.
