From real estate to venture capital, Fundrise is your path to the private markets.

About us

For almost a century, regulatory barriers made it difficult for individuals to invest in private markets, giving billion-dollar institutions preferred access. The result has been that most investors have been limited to public markets and excluded from private investments—ranging from real estate to venture capital. Technology is finally disrupting this status quo. Enter: Fundrise, America’s largest direct-to-consumer private markets manager. We built our technology platform to bridge the barrier. Software allows us to achieve the scale of institutions without the bureaucracy. Combining our technology and investment expertise, we are pioneering a new model to build you a better portfolio.

  • The following is from a letter we shared with investors on August 29, 2024 entitled "Interest rate cuts set to begin a real estate bull market." -- The Fed has now signaled that it intends to begin cutting interest rates in September. Our experience is that falling rates increase real estate values, which would lead to positive returns over the next several quarters. As we’ve covered at length, real estate values are inversely correlated with interest rates. Rising rates in 2022 and 2023 led to lower values and negative returns for real estate. Now, the opposite is underway. As the Fed cuts interest rates, it makes it more affordable to borrow, allowing buyers to pay more for property. It’s a market axiom: Rising rates drive down real estate values. Falling rates drive them up. These lower values, however, created a once-in-a-decade buying opportunity, into which we’ve now deployed approximately $1 billion since the start of last year. With inflation falling (and likely to continue to fall), the Federal Reserve has stated that they expect to begin lowering rates as early as next month. As we’ve said before, the activities of today translate to the returns of tomorrow. And so, we intend to continue actively deploying into this temporary period of attractive pricing and higher yields. And accordingly, we expect that investors who continue to buy and hold through this period are likely to see stronger returns as a result. This easing of monetary policy, coupled with lower supply and higher demand, has the potential to begin a real estate bull market and create a goldilocks period for many of the strategies we are most active in today. -- This content is not investment advice, nor is it an offer of securities. All investments carry risk which could include loss.

    “Literally, you are a masochist” —Scott Galloway I loved spending 25 minutes chatting with Scott and Ed Elson on the Prof G Markets Podcast. We discussed the evolution of private markets, and why entrepreneurs have to “embrace the suck.” https://lnkd.in/exMHxnwu

    Are we vastly underestimating AI? with Dwarkesh Patel On the latest episode of Onward, Dwarkesh and I explore the future of artificial intelligence. Dwarkesh is inside the very small community of people who may, right now, be on the cusp of inventing artificial general intelligence. What gives him a real inside view is not only his conversations with the leaders of every major AI company—including the founders of OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google’s DeepMind—but also his close friendships with his peers, who are the next generation of tech leaders inside these companies. Dwarkesh pulls back the curtain so that the broader public can understand what people who are actually building AI think is about to happen.
