Crowdestate is a crowdfunding platform in the real estate sector, founded in Estonia in 2014.[6][7] It specializes in offering various investment opportunities, primarily in the form of real estate development loans across Europe.[8] The founder is Loit Linnupõld.[9][10]

Investment Opportunities

edit

The investor holds a simple fixed-rate bond. It pays an interest, also called a coupon, which is permanently fixed at the time of issuance according to a predefined periodicity until maturity.[11]

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).[12]
  • Investments related to mortgage financing.[13]
  • Business loans (a smaller portion of the available projects).[12][14]

The minimum investment to participate in the platform's projects is 100 euros,[15] with additional investments in increments of 100 euros.[6][12]

The platform has a rigorous screening process for potential campaigns, resulting in only about 5% of submitted projects being approved for funding.[12][16]

Investments are primarily concentrated in Estonia. Crowdestate also features a secondary market where investors can buy and sell their investments.[12][14]

History

edit

Crowdestate was founded in Estonia in 2014. It was the first real estate crowdfunding platform born in Europe.[17]

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.[18]

In 2016, Crowdestate expanded into Latvia and opened an office in Riga.[18]

In 2017, Crowdestate financed its largest crowdfunding project to date, worth €1,500,000 (the Vega Residence residential development project in Tallinn).[19] The project attracted 1,036 investors.[20] This is the largest amount ever raised for a single crowdfunding project in Estonia.[21]

In 2018, Crowdestate entered the Italian market, opening an office in Milan,[22] and in 2019, it expanded to Georgia and Romania. It later began operations in Finland,[18], Portugal, Slovakia, and Poland[23]

In September 2019, Q-haus Baltic, a company raising funds through Crowdestate, went bankrupt, but investors were not notified in time.[24]

As of September 2024, Crowdestate had over 60,000 investors,[25] with more than 500 projects funded and over €130 million in capital raised.[26]
