Founder @ Cadre | Finance, Fintech, PropTech

As a kid originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, far removed from the world of alternative investments, I was fortunate to get exposure to the real estate, and technology industries after college. My experiences revealed the lucrative world of alternative investments, industries accessible to a small segment of our society. Driven by the belief that "to whom much is given, much is required," this exposure ignited my drive to democratize these opportunities, leading to the founding of Cadre in 2014.   Reflecting on Cadre's decade-long journey evokes immense pride, gratitude, and renewed motivation. Pride in our achievements: Over $4.5 billion in asset value acquired in 25 U.S. markets, more than $460 million in capital returned to clients, the industry’s first secondary marketplace and only digital real estate investment platform trusted by global institutional clients ranging from endowments to foundations to asset managers.   Gratitude for every dedicated employee, investor, and partner who believed in our vision, and turned our dreams into a reality.   Motivation because today marks the most monumental news since Cadre's founding - propelling us to even greater heights and fulfilling our founding vision by bringing access to more individuals than ever before. I am thrilled to announce that Cadre is joining the YieldStreet family, merging our businesses and establishing the leading global digital alternatives investment platform.   Together, we will unlock an array of institutional alternatives from real estate to private credit to private equity and beyond from Main Street to Wall Street.   Michael Weisz, Yieldstreet’s Founder and CEO, is a visionary leader. Cadre and Yieldstreet will leverage each other's strengths. Cadre will offer its institutional, family office, and RIA clients access to a more diverse base of alternative investments including credit , private equity and more originated on the YieldStreet platform. YieldStreet will provide hundreds of thousands of their clients access to Cadre's real estate offerings and access to Cadre's proprietary secondary marketplace offering liquidity.   This merger signifies more than a professional achievement; it's a personal triumph, breaking barriers in an industry once out of reach. Our combined efforts mean Cadre’s valuation is soaring into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and our business will be positioned to reach profitability.   This is a defining moment. Our mission to make alternative investing more accessible and inclusive continues with greater fervor.   Thank you to our team, partners, and investors for your steadfast support. Your belief in our vision has driven our success and together, we'll create a more inclusive and prosperous future for all.   #alternativeinvestments #Cadre #nextgen #realestate
