Turbine Capital

Turbine Capital is a private equity investment firm dedicated to empowering pilots and other professionals to achieve financial independence through carefully vetted private real estate and alternative investment opportunities. The firm specializes in providing access to institutional-quality investments typically reserved for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, focusing on generating passive income, enhancing tax efficiency, and building non-correlated long-term wealth for its investors. They leverage a syndication model to partner with experienced real estate operators across North America, offering opportunities in commercial real estate, private debt, and energy sectors.

The firm was founded in 2020 by Tait Duryea, an experienced airline captain and third-generation aviator with over a decade of real estate investing experience. Duryea launched Turbine Capital to bridge the gap for pilots seeking alternative investments beyond public markets, driven by his personal journey to create passive income and diversify his financial portfolio. He later expanded the firm's outreach by launching the Passive Income Pilots Podcast in 2023, providing education on passive income strategies and advanced tax planning.

Turbine Capital's investment approach emphasizes diversification across multiple asset classes, markets, and strategies. While PitchBook indicates no direct investments by Turbine Capital (Reno) into operating companies, the firm's strategy involves investing in syndication deals across various real estate types, including multifamily, self-storage, mobile home parks, industrial, and short-term rentals. The firm's team includes key personnel such as Brittany Atiburcio-Wilson, VP of Operations, Graham “TJ” Johnson, Investor Relations Liaison, and Byron Elliott, General Counsel, who bring expertise in operations, investor relations, and SEC compliance.
