About Eduardo Cabral

I help cannabis operators, real estate developers, and mission-driven businesses structure deals, raise capital, and close transactions that actually hold up in the real world.Financing any business is a complex proposition. Add regulation, multiple stakeholders, or competing objectives—and most deals break under that pressure. I help clients structure deals that don’t just withstand complexity, but use it to create better economics, stronger alignment, and more durable outcomes.My work sits at the intersection of private equity, cooperative ownership, impact-driven economics, and real-world operations. As a banker, former community organizer, and entrepreneur, I translate between investors, operators, and communities in a way most advisors can’t.Most deals look fine on paper. Then they break-Too expensive-Too dilutive-Or impossible to operate.That’s because they fail what I call the Triple Beam Measure. Every deal has to balance three things:→ Capital efficiency (cost of capital, returns, dilution) → Operator economics (can the business actually survive and grow?) → Alignment & control (are incentives aligned over time?) If one beam is off, the whole deal breaks.What I DoStructure capital stacks (debt & equity, OpCo, PropCo, HoldCo, etc.)Build investor-ready financial models Structure & negotiate leases, investor terms, and partnerships Advise on employee ownership and co-op transitions Help founders and investors actually get deals closed Experience Worked with 100+ cannabis, retail, and operating businesses Supported capital raises, site selection, and deal negotiations across multiple markets Background across private equity, venture, and cooperative finance Triple Beam has underwritten $6.2B+ in real estate over the last 2 yearsWho I Work With Cannabis license holders raising or opening Real estate developers scaling projects and portfolios Founders negotiating with investors or landlords Investors looking for structured, bankable opportunities Teams exploring employee ownership Start HereIf you’re raising capital, evaluating a deal, or about to sign something meaningful—→ Message me “DEAL” and I’ll take a quick look at whether it holds up.
