People Property Place Podcast

Jacob Sandelson – Founder of Compound

Compound is an owner-operator with significant firepower raised from a prominent family office and will be targeting a trio of operational asset classes spanning ‘consumer industrial’ – self storage, open storage and multi-let industrial.

Prior to Founding Compound, Jacob was the CEO and Co-Founder of General People, a specialist operator of serviced office and multi let light industrial workspace.

Prior to this he was a Principal at General Projects where he led the acquisition, development and management of the properties that General People operate. Jacob started his career at leading residential developer, Galliard Homes.

I sat down with Jacob to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics: Why he didn’t go to university

How he got into real estate

Upskilling outside of his day job

Importance of network / asking for advice

Capital Raising

Macro trends and creating micro strategies

Operational real estateHow he went about starting his business

Investment criteria

Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Jacob would invest should he have £500m of equity at his disposal.
