Jack Krupey invested in small-multifamily real estate in the early 2000s and managed billions of dollars of institutional money during the financial crisis. He launched Gemini Capital Advisors/PRP Advisors, which provided him with the "insider insight" and knowledge he uses on behalf of investors today. By 2014, Jack was successfully investing his own money and managing over $3 billion in investor capital despite a global financial meltdown. In 2018, he launched JKAM Alternative Investments in order to share the benefits of investing in syndicated, multifamily deals offering passive, reliable, above average returns and tax advantages that protect time and profit rather than eroding them.
Today, Jack has dedicated himself to helping accredited investors access the education, investment opportunities, and connections that will enable them, too, to create Wealth without Wall Street.

A natural-born entrepreneur, Drew started his first business at 14. He then launched a highly-successful internet business while in high school.

His drive attracted the attention of HGTV, where Drew was featured as an up-and-coming real estate investor. He wanted to share what he had learned and aspired to provide direct real estate ownership opportunities to others.

“When you're working with a hard money lender, you want to first understand what it is that they're landing on. Because, again, if they're brokering the loan out to somebody else, which is fine, but understand that that process might not be as smooth as working with somebody who may have direct access to capital.”- Brock VandenBerg
