Los Angeles Business Journal ranked Arixa Capital Advisors #35 on its 23rd annual edition of 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies of 2019. The list comprises a diverse range of industries but have a few things in common, including a passion for their work, a spark of creativity and a dedication to customers that drives their success.

Inc. magazine ranked Arixa Capital Advisors #2385 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the country’s top and fastest-growing private companies. The list represents “the backbone of the U.S. economy. These businesses generate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and billion dollars in revenue, in their home towns across the country,” said Rich Russey, VP and Publisher for Inc. magazine.

Greg Hebner, a man who chose to stop worrying about mistakes and embrace that growing—both as a person and as a business professional—involves constantly expanding and pushing boundaries. The best way to do this, Hebner believes, is to put yourself in new places and situations.

He and his business partner, Jan Brzeski, are the managing directors of Arixa Capital. Among other responsibilities, Hebner oversees Arixa’s lending platform. Loan origination, underwriting, closing and servicing all fall under his umbrella. Since Arixa’s loan programs skew toward innovative and unique packages, Greg spends a lot of time structuring creative, one-of-a-kind loans to find the best solution for each client.

One of the biggest success stories in real estate and mortgage industries since the financial crisis is the rise of nonbank lenders all over the country. For commercial mortgage brokers and their clients, this is good news, as these companies are able to make decisions quickly and lend without a “check-the-box“ mentality.

Real estate crowdfunding came into existence after the Global Financial Crisis. Several high profile startups got started around 2010-2012, spurred in part by the JOBS Act which streamlined the process of raising capital from individual investors. As the Internet transformed one industry after another, the real estate investment space appeared stodgy and overdue for disruption. Jan Brzeski, managing director and chief investment officer at Arixa Capital outlines some lessons we have learned from the successes and failures in this space so far, and a few predictions for the future.
