About Fundrise

Written by the company

Fundrise offers access to sophisticated private market strategies focused on generating consistent income and long-term growth across real estate private equity, venture capital, and private credit.

Real estate — Fundrise is one of the 50 largest real estate private equity investors in the world by total annual deployment — deploying more than $1 billion of capital annually in 2021 and 2022. Our portfolio is largely composed of 20,000+ well-located residential units and eCommerce-centric industrial assets.

Venture — Investing in high-growth private technology companies has proven to be one of the best-performing strategies of the last 50 years. Our growth equity fund targets mid-to-late-stage companies in sectors like Modern Data Infrastructure, FinTech, and AI/ML.

Private credit — Skyrocketing interest rates have created broad credit market dislocations and a potential liquidity crisis. The result is arguably the most attractive, risk-adjusted private credit investing opportunity of the last few decades.


Building a better financial system
When our co-founders launched Fundrise back in 2012, our mission was to use technology to build a better financial system for investors like you. A lot has changed since then. Over 2 million people now use Fundrise and we manage nearly $3 billion in equity across real estate, private credit, and venture capital. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. But our mission remains the same. It’s what drives us to continue eliminating barriers, developing new investments, and working tirelessly to make this the best investing experience you’ve ever had. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Easy to understand app that actually has returns

I've used services like this before, but something about Fundrise's communications and their UI has made me convert to only using them. I'm not the brightest when it comes to these things so I appreciate how simple it was to get into, make decisions around how I want my money invested, and make adjustments as needed. It is obviously extra nice that I am actually seeing my funds slowly increase over time. Thanks!

Terrible performance

Terrible performance, lots of lies about % return per year and when other real estate funds are performing well, Fundrise is still low. It is hard to get your money out.

Scammers and thieves

It looks fine until it's time to actually get any money out. They steal from you. I ended up getting back even less than I invested, let alone seeing any profit. They are thieves and scammers. Stay away. Who needs companies like this right now?

Fundrise is Powerful, Confident Financial Tool

Fundrise is easy to use, and it makes investing in private entities easy. Growth may be slow, at times, and it may even be negative for a quarter, but the tri-partite nature of investments in Real Estate, Private Credit, and Innovation creates a powerful, confident growth resource in your portfolio.

Real Estate Crowd Funding without being accredited

The fees are higher than an index fund would be but I think of them like property management fees. Fundrise is a great way for non-accredited investors to get some passive real estate exposure.
Their venture fund is also the only way I know of to get into private tech companies without having a seat at those tables.
Anything that makes investing less exclusive is okay by me.

Fundrise investing is a unique experience

Fundrise’s diversified portfolio offers compelling exposure to alternative investments typically reserved for institutional investors. The platform’s interface is remarkably intuitive, making complex asset classes like REITs and private credit accessible to everyday investors. By democratizing access to real estate, private credit, and private equity investments with low minimums, Fundrise has carved out a distinctive position in the retail investment space.

I think it’s phenomenal

I think it’s phenomenal. I haven’t had a loss yet. I just wish the percentages were a little bit better but honestly, there’s no stress with it the platform is pretty easy to use and it helps choose who you wanna invest into by groups. I think it’s a great deal if you have money, just to throw it to an account and sit for a while. The team even emails you when they have new options and interest opening up in the company I think that’s probably the best part where you having an advantage of other companies. The only downside is that I hate that it takes like three months to get your money back.

It’s been a great way to invest in real estate without having to purchase the land, etc. The company seems to be solid, and recently offered an ipo to invest. I only wish I had learned about this at a younger age to start investing
