Dunmere Capital LLC is a privately held investment firm focused on thoughtfully underwritten, real-asset–backed opportunities. The firm is built around a simple idea: treat capital as something to be stewarded, not gambled.
Dunmere began with a simple, personal question: “If this were my family’s last dollar of capital, how would I want it to be treated?” The firm exists to answer that question with process, transparency, and aligned incentives instead of marketing slogans.
Rather than launching as a large, blind-pool fund, Dunmere is intentionally building from the ground up — one carefully chosen project at a time. Early efforts are focused on:
The firm does not aspire to be “everything to everyone.” Instead, it aims to be a trusted partner for a small number of people who appreciate conservative, real-asset–driven strategies and straightforward communication.
As Dunmere’s track record develops, the firm expects its processes to become more refined — not more complicated.
Markets change. Discipline doesn’t. Dunmere seeks to compound capital across market cycles by favoring real assets, conservative leverage, and transparent communication over speculation and noise.
For details on how this philosophy is expressed deal-by-deal, see the Investment Approach and Track Record pages.
Dunmere Capital LLC is led by its founder and Managing Member, Tim Russell, who oversees strategy, underwriting, and capital deployment. The firm partners with experienced operators, lenders, and professionals on each project as needed.
Tim Russell is the founder and Managing Member of Dunmere Capital LLC. He oversees the firm’s direction, underwriting philosophy, and capital deployment with an emphasis on discipline, documentation, and capital preservation.
Dunmere was formed as Tim began formalizing his approach to real-asset investing—building the underwriting criteria, deal review process, and partner standards that will govern the firm as its track record develops. The focus at this stage is on establishing sound habits, conservative assumptions, and repeatable decision-making rather than scale or speed.
As Managing Member, Tim is directly involved in evaluating potential opportunities, structuring partnerships, and refining the firm’s internal playbooks so that future projects are approached with increasing clarity and consistency.
Dunmere would rather pursue fewer, higher-conviction projects than chase deal volume for its own sake. The firm evaluates potential partnerships through the lens of alignment, clarity, and mutual respect.
Relationship-based partners who value straightforward structures, realistic expectations, and candid conversations about risk and return — not “guarantees.”
Execution-focused operators who welcome a disciplined capital partner, are open about their numbers, and take pride in delivering quality work on the ground.
Lenders who appreciate conservative underwriting, clear communication, and borrowers that plan for multiple exit scenarios instead of best-case outcomes only.
Dunmere is still early by design — growing deliberately, not rushing to scale. If you see your own values reflected in this approach, the next step is a straightforward conversation about goals, constraints, and whether there might be a fit.
