SMART Masterclass

Become a Capital Magnet

Attract capital. Structure deals. Scale faster — without bank bottlenecks or stalled growth.

2-Day live learning with Marinella Nicolosi, Canada’s Private Lending Queen.

Designed For You

Cash-Capped Builders

You have solid deals but limited personal funds — and banks won’t move fast enough to back you.

Scaling Investors

You’re ready to go beyond single projects and multiply deals, but you need reliable access to private capital.

Ambitious Professionals

You’re a realtor, contractor, or entrepreneur with market insight — but missing the capital to turn opportunities into action.

Opportunity Hunters

You know good deals when you see them, but without investor trust and repeat funding, growth stalls.
