LEADERSHIP

Built From Operations.
Not Slide Decks.

Auren Capital is led by someone who has managed a dental practice, grown up in the hotel business, and invested his own capital in every deal the firm has done.

THE FOUNDER

Dillon Rama

My family ran hotels. That's where I learned what occupancy means when it's your mortgage, not a line on a spreadsheet. I also built a cosmetic dental practice from scratch, which taught me something no MBA program covers: how to make conservative decisions under real pressure, every single day.

After years of working alongside physicians and specialists who were earning high incomes but building almost no equity in real assets, I started asking a different question: what if the same rigor I apply to clinical work could be applied to real estate?

Auren Capital is the answer. We buy branded hotel assets in markets with structural demand. We partner with institutional operators. And I invest my own money in every deal, because if I'm not willing to risk my capital, I have no business asking you to risk yours.

THE JOURNEY

From Practitioner
to Principal

Family Hotels

Roots in Hospitality

Grew up in the business. Learned occupancy, rate management, and brand operations before I could drive.

Dental Practice

Clinical Precision

Built a cosmetic dentistry practice from zero. Learned to make high-stakes decisions with precision, every day.

The Question

Income to Ownership

Why do the highest-earning professionals I know have the least ownership in real assets? That question became the business.

Auren Capital

Aligned Partnership

Founded the firm to give doctors, dentists, and high-income professionals access to hotel investments with full transparency and aligned capital.

HOW WE LEAD

Leadership Principles

The values that define how we operate, invest, and build relationships.

Skin in the Game

We invest personal capital in every deal. Our returns come after yours. That's structural, not aspirational.

Long-Term Thinking

We don't optimize for speed. We buy assets we'd hold for decades. That patience means better locations, better brands, and better outcomes.

Radical Transparency

Full visibility into deal structures, financials, and ongoing performance. We share what's working and what isn't.

Operator Discipline

We're involved from acquisition through stabilization. The details matter as much as the deal.

Relationship First

Every investor partnership starts with a conversation, not a pitch deck. We take the time to understand your goals before discussing any deal.

Data-Driven Decisions

Our underwriting is grounded in market data and conservative assumptions. We let the numbers guide us, not momentum.
