Core offering

East Chop Capital is a multi-asset private equity firm that invests capital pooled from a network of 300+ accredited investors into real estate development and early-stage companies. The firm operates a $500 million real estate development pipeline spanning more than 100 acres in the Southeast U.S. (mixed-use, multifamily, residential, retail, restaurant, and hospitality), deploys $15 million into luxury vacation rentals through its Getaway Society lifestyle brand, and has invested $9 million across nearly a dozen angel/portfolio deals since 2020 with a focus on Black founders.

Product overview

East Chop Capital is a multi-asset private equity firm operating as a single unified investment platform rather than a modular product architecture. The firm offers two primary investment vehicles: a Real Estate Development Fund (with a $500 million pipeline covering mixed-use, multifamily, residential, and hospitality developments) and a Vacation Rental Home Fund (through its Getaway Society sub-brand, deploying capital in luxury vacation properties). Additionally, the firm operates an angel investing network with 300+ investors that has invested $9 million across various portfolio companies. The Getaway Society brand represents their consumer-facing vacation rental offering, while the development and investment funds constitute their institutional investment products.
