About the Company

Fractional is a social platform for fractional ownership of investment properties. We’re on a mission to open the private real estate market to everyone by making it inclusive, educational, collaborative, and fun.

Current options for real asset investments are limited and expensive.

Many people with the skills to do it themselves lack the cash to get started, whereas others with sufficient capital are stuck with the high fees and limited opportunities typical markets offer.

We believe that with the right tools, guidance, and community, anyone can choose to own, invest in, and grow real assets in their own way.

We're well funded, with backing from Fifth Wall, Left Lane, CRV, Y Combinator, Will Smith, Kevin Durant, and others, such as the founders and leaders of Affirm, Compass, Blend, AirBnB, and Sprout Social. We bring prior experience in fintech, real estate, and securities regulation.

Democratizing real estate is just the start. We’d love to have you join us to build the future of ownership

  • Influence the features and direction of the platform with your own ideas and proactively identify opportunities to improve business processes.
