Director of Capital Formation – Real Estate & Entitlement Projects

Old West Water Inc. is a Colorado‑based real estate and resource investment firm focused on land, water, and entitlement‑driven value creation across the Western United States. The company operates with a disciplined, criteria‑driven approach to asset selection, emphasizing low‑basis acquisitions, clear regulatory pathways, and projects with strong alignment between municipalities, landowners, and end‑users. Our platform is built on detailed financial and project analysis, transparent investor communication, and a commitment to delivering durable, risk‑adjusted returns. As we expand into high‑quality entitlement opportunities, Old West Water continues to apply the same standards of discipline, selectivity, and investor‑first governance that define our core operating philosophy.

We are seeking a senior Director of Capital Formation to lead equity‑raising efforts for a growing portfolio of real estate, land, and entitlement projects across the Western United States. This position is designed for an experienced capital raiser with an established network of accredited investors, family offices, RIAs, and private capital groups. The role centers on capital formation, investor communication, and relationship management for high‑quality, de‑risked real estate opportunities.

Old West Water has historically operated with disciplined investment criteria centered on land, water, and operational real estate assets. Over the past year, we identified a series of exceptionally strong entitlement opportunities—projects characterized by low basis, clear approval pathways, aligned municipalities, and meaningful value creation driven by entitlement execution rather than construction. Although these opportunities sat outside our traditional mandate, they aligned with our core principles of disciplined risk management, predictable timelines, and investor‑aligned outcomes. As a result, we have expanded into real estate entitlement projects as a dedicated vertical, pursuing only those opportunities that meet our rigorous standards and deliver compelling value for investors.
