40% of limited partners in the last two years experienced capital calls, distressed assets—or worse…

This has left many LPs a bit lost in terms of their confidence in their due diligence process… 

But one physician-turned-real estate investor thinks that’s about to change.

Today I sat with Dr. Sam Giardano, a practicing gastroenterologist who built an AI-based underwriting tool to evaluate syndications.

Now? He’s turned it into an AI-powered platform that can vet deals in seconds—and it just exploded from 1,500 to over 4,000 users.

In today's episode, he breaks down…

• How his tool uses AI to extract 120+ risk metrics from offering memorandums

Plus, he shares the surprising market insight he’s most bullish on heading into 2026...

If you're an LP who's still gun-shy from 2022, this tool (and this episode) could change the game for you.
