Company

W5 Group is the high-velocity investment vehicle and single-family office of Ralph Winter, the visionary behind Corestate Capital and a pioneer who scaled assets to over €28B. Unlike traditional, stagnant family offices, W5 operates as a sophisticated co-investment platform focused on the "Innovative Living" sector - reinventing how humans reside through student housing, micro-living, and co-living assets. Backed by the massive liquidity and track record of a European real estate titan, the firm acts as a bridge between institutional-grade deal flow and ultra-private capital. The environment is a lean, high-performance studio based in a luxury, high-energy setting where the engineering of deals takes precedence over corporate bureaucracy. This is a chance to join a "Unicorn Founder" at the helm of a platform that is currently dominating the residential shift across US and European hubs, backed by the certainty of a principal-led balance sheet.

Role

Miami, FL or New York, NY - Hybrid / On-site. Your mission is the surgical execution of capital raises from a global network of Ultra-High-Net-Worth individuals and Tier-1 Family Offices. This is not a role for a passive administrator; you will be the primary architect of the co-investment narrative, translating complex real estate, venture, and blockchain deals into compelling partnerships for the world’s most sophisticated private investors. You will own the full lifecycle of the raise, from activating your personal "Rolodex" of $30M+ net worth contacts to the final closing of multi-million dollar commitments. The stack here isn't just software; it is a blend of high-EQ relationship management, cross-border cultural fluency, and a deep understanding of alternative asset structures. We demand a founder mindset - someone who can operate with total autonomy and the grit required to move capital in a competitive, principal-to-principal landscape.

Compensation

The package is designed for a top-tier rainmaker, featuring a base salary of $250,000 - $350,000 with a heavy performance-based OTE that rewards successful capital deployment without an arbitrary ceiling. Equity-style participation and carry-equivalent bonuses ensure your wealth is directly indexed to the growth of the co-investment platform. This is a stake in a global portfolio handling billions in volume, supported by a lifestyle package including global travel, elite tech equipment, and the prestige of representing one of the most successful names in European real estate.

Story

The W5 story began when Ralph Winter, after building a real estate empire in Europe, identified a systemic gap in the market: the global housing crisis required a "living-as-a-service" model that traditional developers were too slow to build. The catalyst was the "Innovative Living" lightbulb moment - recognizing that students and young professionals were underserved by legacy assets. Ralph founded W5 Group to bring European precision to the US market, leveraging his pedigree as an MIT-educated visionary to disrupt the status quo. Today, the firm is moving beyond traditional real estate into the frontiers of VC and Blockchain, on track to significantly expand its co-investment volume by the end of 2026. You are joining the rocket ship as it enters its most aggressive phase of US expansion.
