Their technology provides 387,000+ investors with the buying power and investment opportunities traditionally reserved for billion-dollar institutions.
How are they building a culture of diversity? The leadership at Fundrise has intentionally built diversity into their culture, from the top down. A few ways they encourage diversity is through the following Employee Resource Groups:

In addition, every year the HR team collects employee feedback through an anonymous DEI survey. From this input, their team has been able to create an environment where employees are heard and their feedback truly impacts how the company is led.
