Summary

Richard McGirr shares his 2025 retrospective and lays out a focused, numbers-driven plan for scaling Unlimited Capital in 2026, centered on real estate credit and disciplined capital raising. He breaks down how the firm raised over $24M in 2025 (with projections to close the year near $26M), why shutting down non-core initiatives unlocked 50% month-over-month growth in new LPs, and how carried interest crossed a major seven-figure annual milestone. Richard explains his conviction around debt funds, fund-to-funds leverage, sponsor diversification, and why resisting “shiny object syndrome” will be critical to hitting aggressive capital targets next year.
