DEBORAH La FRANCHI
Founder; CEO
SDS Capital
Deborah La Franchi, founder and CEO of SDS Capital, is using the experiences she’s accumulated in her 24-year career in commercial real estate to make an impact in both the industry and in communities nationwide. Since she founded SDS Capital in 2001, it has been a force in commercial real estate through its ability to launch and manage exceptional impact funds.
Under La Franchi’s guidance, SDS Capital developed a private equity funding model to provide capital for permanent supportive housing developments, enabling quicker project financing and construction turnaround at significantly lower costs. This year, La Franchi launched SDS Impact Debt, a new capital platform projected to finance over $1 billion in new housing units within the next 18 months.
