About GROUNDFLOOR

Since its launch in 2013, participants in GROUNDFLOOR’s real estate loans have earned annualized returns averaging 10 to 12 percent in a 6 to 12-month timeframe. No prior real estate knowledge is needed, and the $10 minimum is intentionally a low barrier to entry to give everyone the ability to build wealth in real estate. To date, GROUNDFLOOR remains the only platform offering direct participation in individual real estate investments to all on a broad scale, regardless of income or net worth.

The company is headquartered in Atlanta and has raised more than $30 million in capital from a variety of sources, including venture capital and online public equity offerings. As of its most recent round of financing, the company has over 7,700 public shareholders and is 30 percent customer-owned.

GROUNDFLOOR is the first and only private real estate lending marketplace open to non-accredited investors. Before GROUNDFLOOR, only accredited investors had access to the diversification, risk-adjusted returns & control available via private market investments. GROUNDFLOOR opens the door to short-term, high-yield returns backed by real estate. We bring together individual investors looking for short-term lending investments and borrowers looking for short-term financing for their specific real estate projects. The borrowers get access to more flexible, faster, and cheaper capital than a traditional bank or a hard-money lender. Investors get access to short-term, high-yield investments offering returns that average over 10%.

Since funding the first GROUNDFLOOR loan in 2014, thousands of individual investors have built their own portfolios of loans ranging in yield from 5% to 23%, on terms of 6 to 12 months, starting at a minimum investment of $10 per loan. GROUNDFLOOR earned a historic qualification by the SEC in August 2015 to sell private real estate debt investments to non-accredited investors.

The company was founded in 2013 by Brian Dally and Nick Bhargava and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Our fast-growing team is on a mission to benefit individual investors and the investments they fund by reformatting and opening private capital markets to broad public participation.

The company has raised more than $30 million in capital from a variety of sources, including venture capital and online public equity offerings. As of its most recent round of financing, the company has over 6,400 public shareholders and is 30 percent customer-owned.

We've been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. We ranked in the top 10% of companies on the 2020 #Inc5000 List and the fastest-growing private financial services company in Georgia.
