Fundrise

Fundrise announced the launch of RealAI, a real estate intelligence platform that transforms how investors and multifamily professionals analyse properties and markets. RealAI has real-time data on rents, property financials, sales histories, demographics, household financials, and market dynamics across all U.S. residential properties. The result: underwriting that once took days is now available in seconds. “AI is going to disrupt how alpha is generated in the real estate industry. Real estate has always been an information-asymmetry business, which has the data, but now it will also be about who adopts fastest and stays on the edge of technology,” said Benjamin Miller, CEO of Fundrise and co-founder of RealAI. “RealAI levels the field by giving any professional more advanced tools than are available at the biggest institutional platforms, fundamentally changing the game for who wins and who loses.” Beyond institutional use cases, RealAI is built for everyday consumers and real estate professionals. Homebuyers, renters, and agents can have a professional real estate analyst at their fingertips. Sophisticated property and market analysis, which has not traditionally been available to the general public, will help users make better real estate decisions and further Fundrise’s mission to democratise the real estate market. 💡 200,000+ construction and proptech leaders stay ahead with weekly insights on AI, investment, and innovation. 👉 Sign up via the form at the bottom of the page linked above

Real estate AI is a revolution: The launch of RealAI Real estate is about to get disrupted by technology, again. AI is coming for the core workforce of the industry—acquisitions, underwriting, asset management, market analysis—and it’s going to separate winners from everyone else. If you’re not adopting it, you’re not just missing upside—you’re putting career and company risk. Ben unveils RealAI—a “real estate AI analyst” that Fundrise has been building for years—and explains what the first generation of real estate “AI analysts” means for investing and the future of work.

“Fundrise CEO and co-founder Benjamin Miller joins ‘Squawk on the Street’ to discuss the firm’s venture fund investing in private AI companies, the rise of democratized access to private markets, and why he believes demand for AI infrastructure is growing ‘at hundreds of percent a year.’” Ben Miller joining Sara Eisen and Carl Quintanilla on CNBC Squawk on the Street this morning discussing the Fundrise Innovation Fund.

For decades, venture capital was reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy. That changes today. For the first time ever, SoFi investors can invest in venture capital with Fundrise directly within the SoFi app. This is the first Fundrise product to be made available to SoFi’s 10.9 million members. When we launched Fundrise over a decade ago, our goal was simple: to give individual investors access to the kinds of opportunities that were historically reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy. Today marks another major step toward that goal. SoFi was a natural partner. Their platform reaches a new generation of investors who expect more—more access, more transparency, more control. Like Fundrise, SoFi was built to challenge the status quo of traditional finance. Together, we’re expanding what’s possible for individual investors by making it easier than ever to participate in the kind of pre-IPO growth opportunities used to be reserved for institutions. Historically, venture capital has been one of the most exclusive asset classes in the world. While tech companies stay private longer and capture hundreds of billions of dollars in value before ever reaching the public markets, most individuals are left watching from the sidelines. Thanks to what we’re building at Fundrise—and now building together with SoFi—that’s no longer the case. This is venture capital reimagined, powered by technology, built for everyone. If the last decade was about proving that individuals deserve access, the next decade is about delivering that access at scale. This partnership with SoFi is just the beginning. Onward

💡Fundrise had a problem: Traditional personalization couldn’t scale with their rapidly growing investor base. Segmentation and journeys couldn’t keep up, and they refused to compromise on quality. They turned to Hightouch’s AI decisioning agents for a solution. Their results: - 4x increase in investment amounts - Win-back of previously dormant users - Insights into hidden customer patterns (like geographical and age-based preferences) What transformed their business isn’t the metrics, though. It’s the shift in how their marketing team operates. As Lindsay Kaplan, Sr. Director of Lifecycle Marketing at Fundrise explains: "Rather than being bogged down in building triggered journeys, we're digging into investor needs and how we can best serve them.” This echoes what we’re seeing across industries: Rather than replacing marketers, AI enhances marketers and lets them shift from campaign execution to strategic orchestration.
