Samuel Levitz

Samuel Levitz is the Founder and CEO of IRC Partners (Investor Ready Capital). He has spent about 25 years in private capital markets.

IRC Partners works with growth-stage founders and real estate sponsors raising $5M to $250M. The work comes in three parts: a diagnostic, a build of the materials and structure to institutional standard, and a go-to-market plan run with the client. It starts with the Capital Raise Pre-Flight, a fixed-fee review that scores a raise against 12 pass or fail gates before any investor sees it.

What Samuel writes about

Samuel writes on investor readiness, the Pre-Flight, pitch and investment committee decks, financial models, data rooms, and due diligence for operating companies and real estate sponsors. Each article starts from a question an investment committee asks and says plainly what fails review and how to fix it before a deal goes out.

How these articles are written

When an article cites a figure, it names the source in the same sentence. When the answer depends on deal type, the article splits the guidance for real estate sponsors, operating companies, and pooled funds.

Samuel is a UC Santa Barbara alumnus.
