Team

The people you'll actually talk to.

Cory Weigel, co-founder of Red88 Capital.

Cory Weigel

Co-founder

Cory is an entrepreneur and content creator with five years in marketing, branding and sales, and nearly ten years making content. In July 2025, he and his business partner Liam made their first acquisition: PJ’s Liquor Store in Cold Lake, Alberta. He also owns and operates residential rental properties.

Cory leads with values some would call untraditional in business: be personable, be human, and look at every deal and every person with a positive lens. He focuses on leadership and building the team, and makes sure it stays humble and keeps looking for solutions where others might walk away.

Liam Hjerpe

Co-founder

Liam co-owns PJ’s Liquor Store and its commercial property with Cory. He put the acquisition together with bank, seller and private financing, leased up the building, and built and trained the team that now runs the store, so both owners could step out of the day to day within about four months.

At Red88, Liam leads underwriting, deal structuring and capital raising: acquisition models, investor documents, lender relationships and the rules for when to walk away. He also built Red88’s off-market deal flow engine, from ads and screening to an automated opportunity pipeline. He is CFO of Attain Innovation Inc. and studied business at SLC Business School.
