About Hone Capital:

Hone Capital, LLC (Hone) is a privately-owned investment management firm, investing in venture capital, private equity and real-estate strategies in the United States. Located in downtown Palo Alto, Hone invests on behalf of a leading private equity firm in China, as well as other institutional investors. 

 

Hone launched the real-estate investments strategy in February 2017 after spending 8 months studying the opportunity and seeking the advice of two of the co-founders of Invitation Homes (a unit started by Blackstone which went public in February 2017). One of the early advisors remains a senior Strategic Advisor to Hone Capital. Hone organized a pool of equity and leveraged capital of ~$140M for its initial investments into single family rentals (SFR) in select geographies in the United States. As of today, Hone Capital has invested over $75M in this strategy with a pipeline to close an additional $25M to $40M by December 31, 2018.

 

Now, Hone is looking to rapidly scale its capital and continue expanding its SFR footprint.
