2. Exporo AG: Digital real estate investments
Crowdinvesting is an innovative form of financing and investing money via the web. The platform Exporo, founded in 2014, uses this idea in the field of real estate investments. Real estate project promoters present their projects on the platform and users – “the crowd” – can participate financially and profit. The Exporo platform acts as a virtual marketplace and processor. A business model that is obviously convincing. Since its founding, more than 732 million euros have already been brokered for 385 projects by almost 30,000 crowd investors. Exporo is thus by far the largest digital platform for real estate investments in Germany.
