Brett Henry has operated in Maury County since 2019, with deep on-the-ground knowledge of value-add residential, new construction, and land plays in the region. ### Israel Israel is a core market. Zealot serves as Chief Strategy & Platform Officer for Rebuild Israel, a U.S.-based land entitlement fund targeting $25M in institutional capital. We cultivate partnerships and investment opportunities connecting Israeli innovation and land development with American capital and faith-driven communities, with working knowledge of the regulatory landscape, housing market dynamics, and institutional infrastructure needed for Israel-focused investment. --- ## Case Studies ### Rebuild Israel — Investment Fund Infrastructure **Problem:** Faith-driven investors lacked access to institutional-grade real estate investment opportunities in Israel. Rebuild Israel needed a full capital-raising infrastructure — but had no brand, no investor materials, no website, and no operational systems. **Approach:** Zealot built the complete brand identity, all investor-facing materials (executive summary, pitch deck, due diligence packets, email templates), designed and developed the website, implemented AI systems and integrations, produced a 25-article Featured Insights content series, and architected the operational systems powering the capital raise. Brett Henry serves as Chief Strategy & Platform Officer. **Results:** A full capital-raising engine for a fund targeting $25M in institutional and accredited investor capital — pitch decks, due diligence packets, email sequences, a complete web platform, AI-powered workflows, and the operational architecture to support a Reg D 506(c) offering structured as a Texas Limited Partnership.

Traditional business entities couldn't accommodate collective ownership, transparent governance, and community-driven decision-making. **Approach:** Zealot pioneered the DAO LLC structure in Tennessee — creating a compliant entity that preserved decentralized principles — and built the governance systems, membership infrastructure, operational workflows, and community onboarding architecture from scratch. **Results:** The first decentralized coworking DAO — 50+ owners, 100+ members, and a fully operational governance framework. DECO DAO proved decentralized ownership models could work within existing legal frameworks, setting a precedent for future DAO LLCs in Tennessee. --- ## Leadership — Brett Henry, Founder & Principal Brett Henry is a systems builder, connector, and entrepreneur who founded Zealot to help leaders and organizations thrive.
