Fractional
Fractional is a San Francisco company that lets groups of friends, followers, or strangers co-own investment properties and other assets together through member-run investment clubs. Instead of raising money as a securities offering, each club is a member-owned LLC where everyone is an active participant with voting rights, sidestepping the expensive PPMs and accredited-only rules of traditional syndications. Fractional handles the back office - LLC formation, compliance, bookkeeping, distributions, and K-1 tax filings - so ordinary people can pool small checks into real estate, private lending, and even the occasional laundromat or candy store.
