Approach

Operator first. Capital follows the operating plan.

Most resort deals are structured by people who will never run the property. Embodier underwrites, designs, and finances each asset from the perspective of the team that will open the doors every morning for the next decade.

Principles

Four rules we don’t negotiate.

Underwrite the operation, not the brochure.

Revenue assumptions come from our own operating data and the member base we can realistically build, never from market-average occupancy.

Build only what the model can carry.

Capital plans are scoped to stabilized cash flow. We would rather open a smaller, fully utilized property than a larger one that needs the next raise to survive.

Technology stays in the back of house.

AI drives pricing, staffing, and procurement. Tokenization widens the capital base. Neither is visible to a guest, and neither is the reason to invest.

Report like a public company.

Owners, lenders, and members receive the same operating numbers on the same schedule. Governance documents are written by counsel, not marketing.

How an engagement runs

From first look to stabilized operations.

Weeks 1–4

Screen & underwrite

Site visit, operating diagnostic, and a one-page view of the stabilized business before any LOI.

Months 2–4

Structure & close

Capital stack agreed with owners and lenders; membership and any tokenized tranche documented by counsel.

Months 4–14

Convert & pre-sell

Phased renovation while the property keeps trading. Founding membership opens before the first room is finished.

Year 2 onward

Operate & report

Embodier teams run the property. Quarterly owner reporting, annual budgets, and covenant tracking from day one.

Bring us the asset. We’ll bring the operating plan.

For equity groups, boards, brokers, and counsel evaluating a resort property or a portfolio.
