- THE PARTNERS
Two people.
One Standard.
Everway Funding was built by two people who combine
institutional discipline, deep market knowledge, hands-on investment
experience, and access to serious private capital.
Buck Shapiro | Partner
A third-generation Austinite with over 20 years in Texas real estate, Buck brings rare depth across commercial lending, SBA financing, real estate transactions, and corporate formations. His training at St. Mary's University School of Law informs how every Everway transaction is structured — with precision, with discipline, and with an emphasis on clean, efficient closings. Buck originates every deal and knows this market at a level that only decades of local relationships can build.
Tom Chappell | Partner
Tom brings something rare to private lending — the instincts of an active investor combined with a network of family offices and high-net-worth individuals built through years of genuine relationship work. His career spans San Francisco and Austin real estate, where he developed a sharp eye for what a deal is really worth. Tom leads Everway's capital relationships — connecting exceptional deals with serious, long-term investors.
Everway is dedicated to delivering personalized private credit opportunities, leveraging our collective
experience to navigate the Texas real estate market with discipline, integrity, and foresight.
