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 systemWhen 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.

I like how easy it is for those non-accredited investors to invest in REITs and dividend-yielding rental properties. No other company does this anywhere as well. Their website is incredibly easy to navigate and they keep investors informed of any new opportunities.

I am a technologist and have deep interest in innovation, product design and usability. In my opinion, Fundrise has scored well in all three areas by providing a chance for anyone to become a real estate investor. I would recommend this platform as they keep investments transparent with one stop access to your portfolio.

I have been an investor through Fundrise since nearly its inception. I have generally been happy overall, both with returns and communication. The process of investing is efficient and smooth. Returns are deposited into your bank account of record directly. The reason for the 4 star instead of 5 star rating is that the company has changed course quite substantially over time. At the beginning, investors had the opportunity to invest in individual properties, and were given all information to make an informed decision. There was an option to retain returns in an account within Fundrise, for easy and rapid reinvestment. Over time, they began offering REIT's, with fewer individual properties available. Now, they have completely moved away from offering investment in individual properties and only offer a handful of REIT's in which there is no control over which individual properties one invests in. They also did away with the ability to retain earnings within a Fundrise account, and all returns are deposited into our personal accounts. My perception is that they are trying to reach a broader base of investors (i.e. less savvy investors and people who do not qualify as accredited investors). The result of this has yet to be seen, but a concern is that returns will be lower. Another concern is that the company is still trying to find its way, and some of us older investors who started investing here are somewhat displeased about the inability to invest in individual properties. I personally have since allotted more of my money into another crowdfunding real estate investment company that does offer individual property investment, though at higher costs of entry. Nonetheless, I have enough confidence in Fundrise that I continue to retain investments here, and in fact purchased shares of the company itself through a recent online "IPO". To summarize, I have had very good experiences and returns here, but the changes raise some concern and warrant less than a 5 star rating.

Strong current returns and ownership of real estate with low fees is a customer friendly model. Wall Street could learn something here.

I've invested in the funds and individual assets since the early days of Fundrise. For context, I'm also an investor through other sites like Real Crowd, Realty Mogul, and the like so I can compare across most of them. I like the Fundrise website the most and have the most assets invested through their platform vs. others. I've also seen the most consistent results compared to projections and have seen capital returned through multiple cycles as well. I recommend Fundrise to people all the time.

It has been everything they said it would be. It has been most honest and forthright, with everything they do and say. I have had a much better piece of mind with this investment, then any other investment, I have recommended this to several other interested inventors. Thank you for this great investment.
