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.

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.

Opportunities for small investors

Opportunities provided by Fundrise to small investors are ones formerly restricted to only wealthy individuals or institutions. I am thoroughly appreciating the diversification and ground-floor entrance made available by Fundrise! However, the lack of quick redemption options is a price to be paid - albeit a relatively minor one if the money invested is not going to be needed in the short term.

I expect more responsive customer service options will come with the company's growth. Currently, options seem to be more easy-in-than-out. Nevertheless, I see this enterprise as a visionary beginning that should accomplish much for the little guys.

For a company that invests for you

For a company that invests for you, most companies have robo advisors that waste your money. It seems like fundrise leaders truly try to bring ROI for their customers and so far after 2 years, they continue to not let me down, & I’ve recommended them to everyone I know
