Fundrise is America’s largest direct-to-investor real estate investment platform. Since their founding, their mission is to build a better financial system by empowering individuals. That means expanding access, lowering costs, and improving the quality of assets that individual investors can add to their portfolios. Today, investments that were once primarily reserved for billion-dollar endowments and sovereign wealth funds are now available to investors of all sizes, at the touch of a button.
Since their launch, Fundrise has transacted over $5.7 billion worth of real estate and currently manages approximately $1.5 billion in equity, on behalf of their more than 150,000 investors. Fundrise has been featured on both the 2021 Inc. 5000 and Financial Times’ list of America’s fastest growing companies, and Nerdwallet’s the Best Real Estate Investment Platform of 2021.
What Fundrise says about their real estate investing platform:
"Although our business and the technology we build has continued to evolve, our mission has always remained the same: to empower the individual investor. That’s why we obsess over things like cost efficiency, minimizing fees, frequent candid communication, and developing smarter tools that provide better insights.
Perhaps the clearest manifestation of this investor-first approach is the fact that we’re investor-owned, allowing investors in Fundrise real estate portfolios to become fellow shareholders of the company itself through our unique iPO model. This lets us minimize our dependency on outside capital and better align our long-term interests with the long-term interests of our investors — in short, making our success their success.
Almost a decade later, we’re still just getting started. Welcome to the future of real estate investing."
