Crowdfunding platforms
CrowdStreet
Crowd Street is an online platform that gives accredited investors direct access to private market offerings, including commercial real estate, private equity, private credit, venture capital, infrastructure, and multi-strategy funds.
Investors browse offerings and decide for themselves; the company describes the model as self-directed and says it removes the sales call while publishing how it sources and assesses opportunities. Real estate is offered two ways: individual commercial projects a member picks one by one, and funds holding a portfolio of properties. The offerings page also lists third-party vehicles such as the Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund, the PGIM Real Estate Fund, and Nuveen Global Cities REIT.
Broker dealer services connected with an investment are offered through CrowdStreet Capital LLC, a registered broker dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Advisory services come from CrowdStreet Advisors, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary and federally registered investment adviser that works only with private funds, not with platform users. Membership is limited to accredited investors, qualified clients, and qualified purchasers who reside in the United States.
The site publishes no fee schedule for investors or sponsors, and it states that performance information shown has not been audited or verified by a third party. Private placements are illiquid, so confirm hold period, minimum, and fee load on any specific offering before committing capital.
Best for
Self-directed accredited investors, qualified clients, and qualified purchasers living in the United States who want to choose individual private market deals themselves. Not for investors who need liquidity or who want an adviser to select for them.
