Our Path - Our Journey - Our Founder
With $52M+ in deals funded and hundreds of investors served, Sims Ventures has built a reputation as the lender that says yes when banks say no — and delivers when speed and flexibility matter most.
That principle is led by our Senior Partner, La Mancha — a former Naval Officer, experienced financier, and business development expert with nearly two decades in real estate, to help our client enjoy the level of success they have.
From Military Service to Real Estate Leadership
La Mancha began his career as a Naval Officer, where he mastered leadership, strategic planning, and discipline. Transitioning to civilian life, he applied those skills as a financier and growth strategist. This unique blend of military precision and financial acumen became the foundation of his work with entrepreneurs.
For nearly 20 years, La Mancha has immersed himself in every facet of real estate: direct investment, construction of high-end custom homes, and now private lending and consulting. As Senior Partner of Sims Ventures, he leads a firm serving a wide range of clients — from new investors seeking their first foothold to seasoned investors needing sophisticated resources to scale.
