The nine objections we hear most from prospective capital clients before they commit — minimum check size, AI analysis turnaround, the sectors we cover, fee structure, advisor access, co-invest economics, geographic focus, how to engage, and why Dominion instead of a broker or bank. Read in 30 seconds, then decide where to go next.
These come up on every intro call. The answers below are the same ones we give in the room — written down so you can read them before we meet.
Co-invest capital commitments start at $1M per deal. For the AI advisory session, the floor is a single $777 engagement. If your capital base is below $1M or the engagement is smaller than a single memo, we'll refer you to a partner shop — we'd rather lose the deal than take your money into a structure that doesn't fit.
A traditional analyst gives you one person's perspective over two weeks. Dominion's 20-person AI advisory board (Buffett, Thiel, Dalio, Karp, etc.) pressure-tests the thesis in writing, in parallel, in under an hour — and the principal with 15 years of operating judgment makes the final call. You get a 20-opinion diligence memo instead of a single analyst's view, at a fraction of the cost, without giving up the human underwriting.
Five verticals, Texas-anchored: real estate (multifamily, manufactured housing), energy (distributed solar, mineral rights, data-center power), AI-SaaS, manufactured housing operations, and data-center pre-permit intelligence. Each vertical has its own deal funnel on the /portfolio page with named transactions, structure, and outcome.
Active engagements carry a 1.5%–2% management fee on AUM plus a 20% carry on profits above an 8% hurdle. The entry-level AI advisory session is a flat $777 with no follow-on obligation. No retro fees, no placement fees, no hidden add-ons. Co-invest LPs receive carry-fee discounts proportional to committed capital — the more you put in alongside us, the lower your carry.
Every Dominion engagement closes with one live 60-minute session with the principal — not a junior associate, not a chatbot. The 20-person AI Dream Board at /board writes the written memo you take away, and you get 30 days of follow-up email for anything the memo raises. For active co-invest engagements we hold a weekly check-in until close and a quarterly review through year one of operations.
On every deal at or above $1M EV, Dominion co-invests its own capital alongside the LP, pro-rata by deal size, with the carry split disclosed line-by-line in the engagement letter. You see exactly what the GP is putting in and exactly what the GP is taking out — no preferred-class waterfights. Signed transactions and per-deal economics are published on the /portfolio page.
Texas-anchored by default: Houston, DFW, Austin, the Permian Basin, and the Gulf Coast corridor. US-wide by exception — a deal opens outside Texas only when there's an existing-relationship referral, a niche data-center power play, or a one-off asset we can't source inside the state. The default filter is Texas first because operating judgment and capital velocity both improve with proximity.
Three paths, pick the one that matches your capital base. Committing $1M+ to a single deal: start at /pricing to compare engagement structures. Still exploratory and want to test the AI process: start at /board to run a single advisor or a panel against your question. Institutional LP, family office, or fund-of-funds: submit a request at /request-demo and the principal will reply within one business day.
Brokers and banks are built to close a transaction and move on — they get paid on deal flow, not on whether the deal performs. Dominion is operator-led: we co-invest our own capital alongside yours, our AI board writes the memo your broker won't, and we stay engaged through close and the first 12 months of operations. You get an aligned principal, not a finder.
