Winston was proud to sponsor the 4th Annual Real Estate Entrepreneurs and Leaders (REEL) Summit, a forum for next-generation CEOs, founders, and partners focused on growing emerging businesses in real estate through interactive programming and networking.

As part of the event, Andy White and Paul Jezierny joined a discussion on unlocking liquidity and generating investor returns ahead of a public exit, covering topics such as recap strategies, lender dynamics, pricing, and creative deal structures.

Key Takeaways

Market & Strategy

  • Adaptability and creativity will define who thrives in the next cycle.
  • We’re seeing more co-investments, platform stakes, and diversified structures to unlock liquidity and support growth.
  • Clear storytelling and culture remain essential for attracting and retaining investor capital.

Technology & AI

  • AI and data are now core to the investment process—no longer a “nice to have.”
  • The big question is how and where to integrate AI to create real efficiency without losing the human touch.

Leadership & People

  • Compensation, retention, and generational transitions are top of mind for GPs.
  • Building strong teams and candid cultures is key to navigating uncertainty and planting seeds for future growth.

The REEL Experience

  • The format—interactive sessions, small-group discussions, and outdoor activities—created a unique space for open, candid dialogue and genuine connections.
