How it started

Our founders have combined their expert real estate investing skills with their drive to make real estate investing faster, easier and more liquid than incumbent private equity funds.

Their vision led to the inception of Yield Crowd, an institutional, tokenized real estate backed investment fund fully tradeable on the Stellar decentralized exchange

Now available to all non U.S. investors and accredited U.S. investors alike, through a unique technology ecosystem and investing business model, bringing real estate to the masses.

Trust is our core value

Yield Crowd is SEC compliant under regulation S exemption for non U.S. investors and regulation D for accredited U.S. investors. This means that you can trust that the company will thrive and will continue the founder's long term goals of the growth of the real estate portfolio, creating returns for it’s investors for many decades to come.

In addition, Yield Crowd is registered with finCEN, which ensures it remains transparent and follows the highest compliant standards with anti-money laundering laws and complies with the federal government to ensure the safety of all it’s investors. The Yield Crowd platform also includes links to every property’s publicly registered deeds, to maintain complete transparency in it's real estate transactions.

The Stellar distributed ledger is launched

2017

The idea came to light

After completing 20+ successful real estate investments on their personal accounts, the Founders decided there had to be a way to make real estate investing more accessible to the everyday investor. They set out to solve the issues in current real estate investments and make it possible for anyone to buy and sell real estate on the blockchain.

Partnering with the right people

The founders brought on multi-jurisdictional legal counsel to navigate the complex US and international securities laws. With Wall Street experts, corporate structure lawyers, and blockchain specialists, the team came together to create a truly equitable investment vehicle for all.
