Welcome to OZworks Group

OZworks Group is a private online network where OZ-aligned individuals connect with resources specific to their Opportunity Zone strategies. Our purpose is to build sustainable and scalable communities that align with Opportunity Zones.

At OZworks Group, we provide cultivated access to Opportunity Zone (OZ) resources and expertise through collaborative communities (both online and in Qualified Opportunity Zones) — so that OZ capital can catalyze impact in the communities that need it most.

In the video below Christina Lopez talks about the importance the community is playing in expanding her personal network while launching her OZ strategy in a scaleable and sustainable way.

OZworks Group is a community centered around Opportunity Zone execution, where every client and resource you ever needed was vetted and delivered directly to you – all you have to do is participate. At OZworks Group, all members are connected, and each individual acts as both a receiver and a resource. This online network personally connects you with all of the qualified resources you’ll need to execute your OZ projects. As an OZworks Group member, you’ll access exclusive opportunities to engage in private and/or group education, training, and coaching delivered by established Opportunity Zone thought leaders. Our network is cultivated by trained facilitators who will get to know your project and connect you with operators, managers, investors, developers, grant writers, and more.
