About
PreConstruction Catalysts

Founder, President and CEO Michael Weiner started PreConstruction Catalysts in 2006. The initial purpose was to market partnership opportunities with a preconstruction buying club. While he was developing business, he started receiving calls from real estate developers seeking funding for their projects, but didn't fit the buying club model.

At about the same time, Weiner began to receive calls from hedge fund managers, private equity managers and the like, looking for good projects to either provide debt, or take equity in the development.

Mike spent 35 years in the marketing and advertising communications business-- as well as holding a real estate license and mortgage originators license-- and quickly began to put the developers and the funding sources together. PCC now looked like a commercial loan broker, like the other ten thousand people out there. Not good enough.

Within just a few short months, PCC had over 20 developer and manufacturing deals worth 10 Billion dollars that needed funding. Many were having some trouble getting the lenders to understand their project. As the business plans came in, (one even a handwritten executive summary in illegible handwriting), it was obvious that the art of business plan writing was not necessarily the gift of the developer.

PCC is a Funding Facilitator, not a broker. Although some of the tasks and the way we are compensated is similar, we take a Consultant approach to each project we undertake. We usually agree to work on 1 out of 10 submissions we receive weekly.

Facilitation means helping to bridge the communications gap that occurs when a developer has a project in mind, and it misses the mark when it comes to the lender's interest. In many cases, that's because the developer didn't put himself in the lender's shoes when writing the plan.

That's what we do.

We bridge the gap to communicate both sides of the story to each other.
