Wildhorn Capital

What Wildhorn Capital does

Wildhorn Capital is a vertically integrated Central Texas real estate investment firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The firm acquires, develops, repositions, and asset-manages residential real estate across multifamily, build-to-rent, and horizontal lot development within a strict Central Texas geography that includes Austin, San Antonio, Manor, Lockhart, San Marcos, and Round Rock. Its portfolio spans over 4,000 multifamily units and named assets including Baxter at Westwood, Shiloh at Oak Hill, The Barstow, Wonderyard at Lockhart, Brahman's Draw, and the 1,700-acre Wildhorse Ranch master-planned community. Operations are supported by a proprietary global supply chain for renovation materials, an in-house construction and asset management capability, and an investor portal built on InvestNext.

The firm raises capital deal-by-deal through private placements to accredited investors and family offices, with investment minimums ranging from under $10,000 to over $250,000. Revenue mechanics include acquisition and disposition fees, asset management fees, construction management and procurement markups, and developer promote participation on exits. Over seven years, the firm has distributed more than $91 million to investors with an average equity multiple of 2.13x and average IRR of 29%. Deal sourcing relies on established broker relationships in Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, and execution is supported by co-development partnerships with Wilson Capital, Milestone Community Builders, The Forestar Group, and an Austin-based BTR homebuilder.

Wildhorn is owned and operated by its founders, Managing Partner Andrew Campbell and Partner Cooper Drenner, supported by a deliberately lean team of fewer than 10 professionals. The firm operates as Wildhorn Capital, LLC, a private Texas LLC, with no institutional parent, no external VC funding, and no public reporting. Strategic emphasis is on local market depth, transparency with investors, and disciplined underwriting rather than rapid scale.
