1Sharpe Capital

Grant Rogers, as founder and managing partner, leads all investment decisions alongside partner Andrew Reichert. Rogers' credit background includes senior origination roles at Goldman Sachs and Blackstone, where he sourced and structured real estate debt and structured credit transactions. The firm's partnership structure keeps decision-making concentrated, with principals directly involved in underwriting and closing each commitment.

1Sharpe originates the majority of its investments through direct borrower relationships, commercial real estate banking networks, and broker relationships built over Rogers' and Reichert's careers at Goldman Sachs and Blackstone. The firm also sources discounted loan pools through secondary-market relationships with structured-credit desks at major investment banks. This dual origination network, concentrated on the US coasts, provides access to deals that do not broadly syndicate.

Unlike larger alternative platforms that manage billions and operate through multi-layer investment committees, 1Sharpe is a credit boutique focused on middle-market loans between $10 million and $75 million. The principals personally underwrite and structure every deal, which compresses execution times and allows the firm to compete on certainty of close rather than just price. This fills the origination gap created as regional banks have retrenched from transitional real estate lending.
