Crowdestate is a crowdfunding platform in the real estate sector, founded in Estonia in 2014.[1][2] It specializes in offering various investment opportunities, primarily in the form of real estate development loans across Europe.[3] The founder is Loit Linnupõld.[4][5]
Investment Opportunities
[edit]Crowdestate offers several types of investments, including:
- Real estate development loans (the primary offerings, typically with an expected return of around 14% and terms ranging from 1 to 4 years).[6]
- Investments related to mortgage financing.[7]
- Business loans (a smaller portion of the available projects).[6]
The minimum investment to participate in the platform's projects is 100 euros, with additional investments in increments of 100 euros.[6][1]
The platform has a rigorous screening process for potential campaigns, resulting in only about 5% of submitted projects being approved for funding.[6][8]
Investments are primarily concentrated in Estonia. Crowdestate also features a secondary market where investors can buy and sell their investments.[6]
History
[edit]Crowdestate was founded in Estonia in 2014. It took four months from the initial idea to launch the first project. The first project (acquisition of a floor in Stroomi Residents Apartments in Tallinn) did not attract the necessary investments, but the second project (construction of a multi-apartment building in Sipelga, Mustamäe) was successful.[9]
In 2016, Crowdestate expanded into Latvia and opened an office in Riga.[9]
In 2017, Crowdestate financed its largest crowdfunding project to date, worth €1,500,000 (the Vega Residence residential development project in Tallinn and throughout Estonia). The project attracted 1,036 investors.[10]
In 2018, Crowdestate entered the Italian market, opening an office in Milan,[11] and in 2019, it expanded to Georgia and Romania. It later began operations in Portugal, Finland,[9] Slovakia, and Poland.
As of September 2024, Crowdestate had over 60,000 investors,[12] with more than 500 projects funded and over €130 million in capital raised.[13]
