Plenty of people have heard about crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, which make it easy for fans to back f creative and technology projects, among others. And more recently, we’ve seen companies tap the SEC’s newer Regulation A process to sell shares of stock to, particularly, fans of smaller ventures that aren't yet on the major stock exchanges.
CrowdStreet uses some of the familiar crowdfunding tools and approaches, but targets a much higher level of backers, namely so-called "accredited investors" who might want a piece of one of the biggest asset classes out there, commercial real estate. I sat down with CrowdStreet CEO Tore C. Steen to talk about how the six-year-old company is using an online process and crowdfunding to streamline and open up investing in commercial real estate. The segue from KickStarter to CrowdStreet isn’t an obvious one, but the opportunities are just as big, the beneficiaries just as unexpected. Give it a listen.
