ATLANTA, GA (Oct. 10, 2013) – CrowdVested, a crowdfunding
platform focused on commercial real estate, officially launches today in
Atlanta. CrowdVested offers real estate developers a fundamentally new way to
raise capital and provides everyday people a vehicle to invest in commercial
real estate deals.

Until recently, crowdfunding has been limited to people
wanting to make donations or to buy goods; it has not been possible to truly
invest in a great idea and receive a share of the profits.
CrowdVested operates
under the Invest Georgia Exemption, which allows Georgia residents to crowdfund
investments within the state. Georgia is one of only two states in the country
that has legalized crowd investing.
“We saw an
opportunity to fill a void in the Georgia real estate market,” said Grady
Thrasher, CEO of CrowdVested, who has extensive experience in business law
and working with startups.
“CrowdVested offers another way for local projects to get
the last chunk of financing that they need, and equally importantly, it gives
investors a way to profit from real estate projects that help their
communities.”
“With a minimum investment of $500, we are opening up the
real estate market to all investors,” Thrasher said. “Plus, it’s a great way to
build community support for a project. Real estate projects can have such a
profound impact on a neighborhood, so it’s important that local people have the
opportunity to get involved.”
