For almost a century, regulatory barriers made it difficult for individuals to invest in private markets, giving billion-dollar institutions preferred access. The result has been that most investors have been limited to public markets and excluded from private investments—ranging from real estate to venture capital. Technology is finally disrupting this status quo. Enter: Fundrise, America’s largest direct-to-consumer private markets manager. We built our technology platform to bridge the barrier. Software allows us to achieve the scale of institutions without the bureaucracy. Combining our technology and investment expertise, we are pioneering a new model to build you a better portfolio.

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

🚀 Customer Spotlight: How Fundrise Replaced Their Previous AI Chatbot with Risotto Fundrise, a leading fintech platform providing direct access to private market investments, deployed an AI-powered chatbot to automate IT support. Despite substantial effort, the previous solution failed to deliver, leaving users frustrated and turning to ChatGPT for IT guidance. The Challenge: Their previous AI chatbot had constant inaccuracies, required months of complex configuration, and couldn't understand user intent or supplement answers with external knowledge. The Results with Risotto: ✅ 60% of IT tickets now handled by Risotto (33% fully resolved, 26% assisted) ✅ Implementation in 1 hour vs. months with previous solution ✅ Intelligent context-aware answers that improve over time ✅ Seamless integration into existing Slack workflows "The first Risotto demo showed it was clearly superior to our previous chatbot. The killer feature for us was that it could effortlessly learn." - Phillip Rickett, VP of IT at Fundrise The difference: Risotto learns from everyday Slack conversations, eliminating the need to constantly write knowledge articles while providing intelligent, context-aware support. Ready to see why companies choose Risotto over other AI chatbots? Let's talk. #ITSupport #Automation #CustomerSuccess #Fintech #AIchatbot

💡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.
