**Rise Companies Corp.**

**Up to 1,298,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock**

We are offering up to 1,298,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock to the public, which represents the value of the shares available to be offered as of January 26, 2023 out of the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount of $75 million in our Class B Common Stock taking into account $55.3 million in shares of Class B Common Stock sold over the prior 12-month period. As of January 26, 2023 we had settled approximately 18,686,856 shares of our Class B Common Stock in connection with our previous offerings. This does not include 635,555 shares that have been sold in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D (defined below).

There is no minimum number of shares you must acquire in order to make an investment in our Class B Common Stock. We expect to offer Class B Common Stock in this offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered, unless terminated by our board of directors at an earlier time. We intend to limit the offer and sale of our Class B Common Stock in this offering solely to investors who have purchased one or more investments sponsored by us. See "Securities Being Offered" and "Plan of Distribution" for a fuller description of our Class B Common Stock to be sold pursuant to this offering circular.

There is no established public trading market for our Class B Common Stock.

**Investing in our Class B Common Stock is speculative and involves substantial risks. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12 to read about the more significant risks you should consider before buying our Class B Common Stock. Potential investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them, in light of their particular circumstances, of acquiring, holding and disposing of our Class B Common Stock.**

**The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from registration with the SEC; however, the SEC has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration.**

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR**

Please carefully read the information in this offering circular and any accompanying offering circular supplements, which we refer to collectively as the offering circular. You should rely only on the information contained in this offering circular. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. This offering circular may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. You should not assume that the information contained in this offering circular is accurate as of any date later than the date hereof or such other dates as are stated herein or as of the respective dates of any documents or other information incorporated herein by reference.

This offering circular is part of an offering statement that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process. Periodically, as we have material developments, we will provide an offering circular supplement that may add, update or change information contained in this offering circular. Any statement that we make in this offering circular will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a subsequent offering circular supplement. The offering statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide more detailed descriptions of the matters discussed in this offering circular. You should read this offering circular and the related exhibits filed with the SEC and any offering circular supplement, together with additional information contained in our annual reports, semi-annual reports and other reports and information statements that we will file periodically with the SEC. See the section entitled "Additional Information" below for more details.

The offering statement and all supplements and reports that we have filed or will file in the future can be read at the SEC website, *<u>www.sec.gov</u>*, or on the Fundrise Platform website, *<u>www.fundrise.com</u>* (the "Fundrise Platform"). **<u>The contents of the Fundrise Platform website (other than the offering statement, this offering circular and the appendices and exhibits thereto) are not incorporated by reference in, or otherwise a part of, this offering circular</u>.**

We, and if applicable, those selling Class B Common Stock on our behalf in this offering, will be permitted to make a determination that the purchasers of Class B Common Stock in this offering are "qualified purchasers" in reliance on the information and representations provided by the purchaser regarding the purchaser's financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A ("Regulation A") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to *<u>www.investor.gov</u>*.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this offering circular to "Rise Companies", "Rise", "Fundrise", the "Company", "we", "our", "us" or other similar terms refer to Rise Companies Corp. and its subsidiaries.

**STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS**

Our Class B Common Stock is being offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Regulation A). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A, this offering will be exempt from state law "Blue Sky" review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Class B Common Stock offered hereby is offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" or at a time when our Class B Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange. "Qualified purchasers" include: (i) "accredited investors" under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act ("Regulation D") and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Class B Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). However, our Class B Common Stock is being offered and sold only to those investors that are within the latter category (*i.e.*, investors whose investment in our Class B Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the applicable amount), regardless of an investor's status as an "accredited investor." Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor's subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a "qualified purchaser" for purposes of Regulation A.

To determine whether a potential investor is an "accredited investor" for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the "qualified purchaser" definition, the investor must be a natural person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. who has an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person's spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. who has earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. who has certain professional certifications, designations or credentials or other credentials issued by an accredited educational institution, as designated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. who, with respect to investments in a private fund, are "knowledgeable employees" of the fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

The list above is non-exhaustive; prospective investors should review Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details on whether they are an "accredited investor." If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details.

For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a "qualified purchaser," annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the "accredited investor" definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor's home, home furnishings and automobiles.

**OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY**

*This offering summary highlights material information regarding our business and this offering. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire offering circular carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section before making a decision to invest in our Class B Common Stock.*

**Rise Companies Corp.**

Rise Companies Corp. is a financial technology company that is on a mission to build a better financial system for the individual. We develop software to consume ever more of the value chain of the private investment industry. This pattern is an old story in other industries, but the broader financial system has managed to escape true disruption to date. While today we remain focused on how to redefine the process of investing in real estate, we've always thought about our mission as bigger than just real estate investment, which is why we are also expanding our scope with the newly launched Innovation Fund. We are well on our way to democratizing and reimagining private markets altogether.

The public markets are where the vast majority of individuals invest and, not coincidentally, where there has been a significant amount of technology penetration and disruption. The raucous trading pit has been replaced by silent machines. The internet and apps drove the cost to trade stocks down to zero. Public company data has never been so transparent and readily available. The promise of an efficient market is truer than ever.

On the other hand, private markets resemble the public markets of more than a half century ago. Transactions are performed manually by salespeople. Data is opaque and fragmented. Access is fundamentally barred to individuals. Sophisticated investors capture excess alpha from highly inefficient markets.

In short, the private markets are ripe for reinvention.

We generate the majority of our revenues from (i) origination fees from debt and equity investments paid by the real estate operators or joint-ventures with which we partner, (ii) real estate-related fees from joint-ventures with which we partner, (iii) asset management fees from our Programs (defined below), and (iv) advisory fees from investors in our Programs.

The chart below shows the relationship among us and our affiliates as of December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· National Commercial Real Estate Trust (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned statutory trust, which historically acquired
 loans from Fundrise Lending, LLC and held them for the sole benefit of certain investors that had purchased Project-Dependent Notes
 ("Notes," "Note," and "the Notes") issued by the Trust and that related to specific underlying
 loans for the benefit of the investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· National Commercial Real Estate Trustee, a wholly-owned subsidiary, acts as the manager trustee of the Trust.

 the public on potential future tenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Servicing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, acts as a servicer for our Sponsored Programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Real Estate, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a real estate operating platform through which many of the real estate
 assets of our Sponsored Programs are managed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Certain unlaunched investment programs that are not yet being offered to investors.

The Company has sponsored the following investment programs as of the date of this filing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC, Fundrise West Coast Opportunistic REIT, LLC, Fundrise East Coast Opportunistic REIT, LLC, Fundrise
 Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC, Fundrise Growth eREIT II, LLC, Fundrise Growth eREIT III, LLC, Fundrise Development eREIT, LLC,
 Fundrise Growth VII, LLC and Fundrise Balanced eREIT II, LLC are the real estate investment trust programs (the "eREITs")
 sponsored by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise eFund, LLC, (f/k/a Fundrise For-Sale Housing eFund – Los Angeles CA, LLC) is the real estate investment fund program
 (the "eFund") sponsored by the Company. The Company previously sponsored two other eFunds, Fundrise For-Sale Housing
 eFund – Washington DC, LLC and Fundrise National For-Sale Housing eFund, LLC, both of which merged into the Fundrise eFund,
 LLC on November 30, 2020. We define the eFund, together with the eREITs, as the "eDirect Programs."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC ("Flagship Fund") is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered
 under the Investment Company Act, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval
 fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Income Real Estate Fund, LLC (the "Income Interval Fund") is a newly organized Delaware limited liability
 company, formed by the merging of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC (the "Income eREIT<sup>®</sup>"), Fundrise
 Income eREIT II, LLC, Fundrise Income eREIT III, LLC, Fundrise Income eREIT 2019, LLC, Fundrise eREIT XIV, LLC, and Fundrise Income
 eREIT V, LLC, that is registered under the Investment Company Act, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company
 that is operated as an interval fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Growth Tech Fund, LLC (the "Innovation Fund") is a newly organized Delaware limited liability company that
 is registered under the Investment Company Act, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as
 a tender offer fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Opportunity Fund, LP and Fundrise Opportunity Zone OP, LLC (collectively referred to as the "Opportunity Fund"
 and the "oFund"), make up a tax-advantaged real estate investment fund program offered under Regulation D ("Regulation
 D") of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), that is offered through the Fundrise Platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Fundrise Opportunistic Credit Fund, LLC (the "Credit Fund") is a newly organized Delaware limited liability company offered under Regulation
D of the Securities Act, that is offered through the Fundrise Platform.

The eREITs, eFund, oFund, Credit Fund, Flagship Fund, Income Interval Fund and Innovation Fund are referred to, individually or collectively as the context requires, as the "Sponsored Programs" or the "Programs".

Given the unprecedented level of disruption and ongoing uncertainty caused by the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in an effort to protect the interests of existing shareholders of the Sponsored Programs, processing and payment of redemptions under each Sponsored Program's redemption plan was suspended until further notice, effective as of March 31, 2020. Processing and payment of redemptions resumed under each Sponsored Program's redemption plan as of June 30, 2020.

Through the Fundrise Platform, we reduce upfront fees and costs to investors in the Sponsored Programs by eliminating high-fee broker-dealers and other intermediaries, while removing the double promote (where real estate and alternative fund sponsors receive a share of the profits in the distribution waterfall) common with alternative asset investments. We believe our direct online investment model allows us to more efficiently raise and invest capital than through conventional institutional avenues.

Other than our initial seed investments in each of the Sponsored Programs, we do not assume the long-term credit risk of the investments facilitated through the Fundrise Platform.

Our historical growth rates in facilitating investments through the Fundrise Platform reflect a deliberate strategy which has allowed us to build and develop the various enterprise functions needed to support our scale, including operations, risk controls, customer support, compliance and technology. Demand from real estate operators and investors will continue to inform our business and investment product decisions, but we have so far failed to see value for our investors in compromising the long-term quality of our underwriting to pursue short-term measures that we believe would result in investment performance below our standards.

Our office is located at 11 Dupont Circle NW, 9<sup>th</sup> Floor, Washington, D.C. 20036. Our telephone number is (202) 584-0550. Information regarding the Company is also available on our web site at <u>www.fundrise.com</u>.

As of December 31, 2022 we had 308 employees.

***Impact of COVID-19 on our Business***

Given that the majority of our income is derived from the fees we receive from the Sponsored Programs we have in the past sponsored, and expect in the future to sponsor, the impact of COVID-19 on the Sponsored Programs' business and operations will have a material impact on our business.

For information regarding the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the various assets held by the Sponsored Programs we sponsor, please see the following links for information that was the subject of previous supplements to our Offering Circular:

We are encouraged by both the performance of the managed real estate assets held by our Sponsored and by our own ability to navigate and continue to grow throughout the economic upheaval and public health crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic that has continued to cause many businesses to radically shift their operations during a majority of 2020, 2021 and through December 31, 2022, now coupled with a period of heightened economic uncertainty due to inflation that is not transitory in nature, supply chain problems initially brought on by pandemic disruptions and exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and other factors.

We have regained our pre-pandemic growth momentum, achieving a 31% growth in Fundrise Platform's AUM for the year ending December 31, 2022. It has been our belief that as the broader demographic tailwinds create a new generation full of millions and millions of new investors, the platform that was able to provide consistently strong performance with the best overall experience would be well-positioned to succeed. According to the Deloitte Center for Financial Services, the vast majority of new wealth creation in the United States will come from Generation X and Millennials, who will increase from approximately 28% in 2020 to 47% in 2030 of all wealth in the United States. Fundrise is well positioned to become the go-to platform for the rising generations to invest in the real estate industry and other alternative asset classes, and to leverage data and technology in its efforts to empower and center the individual as the key stakeholder in the financial services markets.

Throughout 2022, we continued to build on our products and improve the overall platform, most notably:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Sponsored Programs (defined below) generated consistently strong returns for investors in our Sponsored Programs relative
 to the broader stock market and publicly listed REITs. Based on our long-term focus and strategy, Fundrise delivered our strongest
 ever total performance in 2021, generating an average net return for investors in our Sponsored Programs of 22.99%. As the public
 markets faltered in 2022, the average net return for our investors for 2022 was approximately 1.50% and the Sponsored Programs achieved
 their best relative performance ever, beating the S&P 500 on an absolute basis by nearly 20%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We streamlined the investor experience by merging six of the Income eREITs into the new Income Interval Fund, which is our second
 real estate fund registered under the Investment Company Act ("40 Act Fund"). As of December 31, 2022, $1.9 billion
 of our total $3.2 billion AUM in the Sponsored Programs, or approximately 58%, is in a 40 Act Fund. We believe this shift to the
 40 Act Fund structure will benefit investors in our Sponsored Programs with increased efficiency and diversification due to their
 larger overall scale, which will allow raising and deploying into strong income return focused assets, with the aim of further driving
 down fund-level operating costs, ultimately resulting in stronger potential returns for such investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Sponsored Programs secured additional credit facilities on their portfolio of real estate assets for a total committed value
 of $815 million with major financial institutions as of December 31, 2022 including Goldman Sachs Bank (NYSE: GS), The Hartford
 (HIG), Metlife (NYSE: MET), KeyBank (NYSE: KEY), Regions Financial Corp (NYSE: RF), Citizens Financial Group (NYSE: CFG), and US
 Bank (NYSE: USB).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We have built up the single-family rental home operating platform and portfolio held by certain of the Sponsored Programs to
 a total of more than $1.1 billion of real estate under management, consisting of approximately 4,000 homes across over 75 communities
 as of December 31, 2022. Our goal is to create a portfolio of homes that can achieve operating economies of scale, generating
 consistent income, while at the same time positioning the Sponsored Programs to capture what we believe will be outsized price appreciation
 thanks to the confluence of demographic factors driving demand for affordably-priced rental homes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We completed the full deployment of our real estate operating platform where we took on the work from former partners, which
 allows us to use "software-first" solutions to manage deal origination and investment data capture and a systems-based
 approach to asset management and operations (the "Real Estate Operating Platform"). We believe this will better serve
 investors in our Sponsored Programs with lower, less complex, more transparent fees earned by fewer, incentive-aligned, scalable,
 and sustainable parties without the potential bias or associated marginal costs. Most importantly we are not charging carried interest
 or a promote (generally 20% of the profits in the distribution waterfall to be paid to other sponsors). We believe this aligns our
 incentives to create better outcomes for individuals as we don't have a disproportionately large share in the upside (a consideration
 that often leads to short-term thinking and profit motivations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In July, we launched the Fundrise Innovation Fund, a first-of-its kind, $1B perpetual growth equity fund aimed at democratizing
 access to investments in top private technology companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The time-weighted, weighted-average aggregate returns of Fundrise Advisors client accounts for the calendar year 2022, calculated using the Modified Dietz method. Total returns are inclusive of dividends and capital gains / losses, are net of fees, and include shares which were acquired via dividend reinvestment. "NAV distributions" (specifically, the "Additional December 31, 2022 Distribution" of $3.1881465200 per share declared by Growth eREIT, and the "Additional December 31, 2022 Distribution" of $3.0274538672 per share declared by Heartland eREIT) are considered as part of the appreciation / price return component. Return figures exclude the performance of investments in the Fundrise Opportunity Fund and the Fundrise Innovation Fund. This information is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and any investment carries with it the risk of loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Annual performance of the NAREIT index for the calendar year 2022 specifically refers to the total return of the FTSE NAREIT All REITs index, which includes both dividends and capital gains / losses, and was sourced from reit.com on January 3, 2023. This index covers all publicly listed U.S. REITs and is designed to present investors with a comprehensive family of REIT performance indexes that spans the commercial real estate space across the U.S. economy, with exposure to all investment and property sectors. As an index, the FTSE NAREIT All REITs index is inherently not investable, and is presented for informational purposes only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Annual performance of the S&P 500 index for the calendar year
2022 specifically refers to the total return, which includes both dividends and capital gains / losses, and was sourced from spglobal.com
on January 3, 2023. The index includes 500 leading companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization. As
an index, the S&P 500 is inherently not investable, and is presented for informational purposes only.

(4) Annual performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Total Return Index
 (LBUSTRUU) for the 12 months ended January 3, 2023, which includes both dividends and capital gains / losses. A broad-based flagship
 benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, the index includes Treasuries,
 government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency). As an index,
 LBUSTRUU is inherently not investable, and is presented for informational purposes only.

Looking back since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing now in a period of heightened economic uncertainty due to inflation that is not transitory in nature, supply chain problems initially brought on by pandemic disruptions and exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and other factors, we believe the combination of the right assets (multifamily residential, single-family rental, and last-mile industrial), owned at reasonable basis (often at or below replacement cost), in the right markets (currently in the Sunbelt), and at relatively conservative leverage (generally less than 50% LTV at a portfolio level) all work together to create what we believe is a remarkably stable foundation (or fortress) able to weather a potentially severe economic storm.

While success is never guaranteed, we believe we continue to be on track to build a world class data and technology-enabled alternative asset investment platform.

**Our Board of Directors**

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. Our board of directors has ultimate responsibility for our operations, corporate governance, compliance and disclosure. We have five members on our board of directors, two of whom have been determined by our board of directors to be "independent" as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, even though we are not currently subject to such rules.

**About the Fundrise Platform**

Fundrise, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, owns and operates the Fundrise Platform, which may be found on the website: *www.fundrise.com*. The Fundrise Platform allows investors to become equity or debt holders in alternative real estate investment activities. Through the use of the Fundrise Platform, investors can browse and screen real estate investments, view details of an investment and sign legal documents online.

The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition.

Please refer to the section entitled "Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information."*

**Risks Related to Our Business**

***The growth of our business depends in large part on our ability to raise capital from investors. If we are unable to raise capital from new or existing investors or existing investors decide to withdraw their investments from our Programs, our Programs will be unable to deploy such capital into investments and we will be unable to collect additional fees, which would have a negative effect on our growth prospects.***

Our ability to raise capital from investors depends on a number of factors, including many that are outside our control. Investors may choose not to make investments with alternative asset managers, including sponsors of real estate investment programs and private real estate investment funds, and may choose to invest in asset classes and fund strategies that we do not offer. Poor performance of our Programs could also make it more difficult for us to raise new capital. Investors and potential investors in our Programs continually assess the performance of our Programs independently and relative to market benchmarks and our competitors, and our ability to raise capital for existing and future Programs depends on our performance. If economic and market conditions deteriorate, we may be unable to raise sufficient amounts of capital to support the investment activities of our new and future Programs. In addition, one of our key growth strategies is the expansion of our product offerings through the development of new Programs. If we are unable to successfully raise capital for our existing and future Programs, we will be unable to collect additional fees in connection with our management of our Programs, which would have a negative effect on our growth prospects. Our fees consist primarily of (i) origination fees from debt and equity investments paid by the real estate operators with which we partner, (ii) asset management fees from our Programs, (iii) advisory fees from investors in our Programs, and (iv) interest income.

In addition, investors are typically permitted to withdraw their investments from our Programs through various redemption plans. In difficult market conditions, the pace of investor redemptions or withdrawals from our Programs could accelerate if investors move their funds to investments they perceive as offering greater opportunity or lower risk. Although investments in our Programs may generally be redeemed only at a discount to the original investment amount and redemptions are subject to other restrictions, redemptions could have the effect of decreasing the capital available for investments in our Programs and reduce our revenues and cash flows.

***We are currently incurring net losses and expect to continue incurring net losses in the future.***

We are currently incurring net losses and expect to continue incurring net losses in the future. Our failure to become profitable could impair the operations of the Fundrise Platform by limiting our access to working capital to operate the Fundrise Platform. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may never become profitable. In future periods, we may not have any revenue growth, or our revenue could decline.

***The loss of our executive officers or key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business. Our ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals is critical to our success.***

We depend on the investment expertise, skill and network of business contacts of our executive officers and key personnel. Our executive officers and key personnel evaluate, negotiate, structure, execute, monitor and service our investments. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of our executive officers and key personnel. In particular, Benjamin S. Miller, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, is critical to the management of our business and operations and the development of our strategic direction. The departure of Mr. Miller or of any other executive officers or key personnel could have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective.

The ability of the Programs to achieve their investment objectives depends on our ability to identify, analyze, invest in, finance and monitor real estate investments that meet their investment criteria. Our capabilities in structuring the investment process and providing competent, attentive and efficient services to our Programs depend on the employment of investment professionals in adequate number and of adequate sophistication to match the corresponding flow of transactions. To achieve the investment and growth objectives of the Programs, we may need to hire, train, supervise and manage new investment professionals to participate in our investment selection and monitoring process. We may not be able to find investment professionals in a timely manner or at all. We also face competition from other industry participants for the services of qualified investment professionals, both with respect to hiring new and retaining current investment professionals. Failure to support our investment process could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not carry any "key man" insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event of the death or disability of our executive officers or key personnel.

***Our business model depends to a significant extent upon strong relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market for sources of investment opportunities. The inability of our executive officers or key personnel to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.***

We expect that certain of our executive officers and key personnel will maintain and develop our relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market, and our Programs will rely to a significant extent upon these relationships to provide them with potential investment opportunities. Certain key persons and companies in the real estate market regularly provide us with access to their transactions. If our executive officers and key personnel fail to maintain their existing relationships or develop new relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market for sources of investment opportunities, we will not be able to grow the investment portfolios of our Programs. In addition, individuals with whom our executive officers and key personnel have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities, and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will generate investment opportunities for our Programs.

***The investment management business is intensely competitive.***

The investment management business is intensely competitive, with competition based on a variety of factors, including investment performance, continuity of investment professionals and relationships with key persons in the real estate market, the quality of services provided to partner real estate operators, corporate positioning, business reputation and continuity of differentiated products. A number of factors, including the following, serve to increase our competitive risks:

· a number of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, including a lower cost of capital
 and better access to funding sources, more established name recognition and more personnel than we do;

· there are relatively low barriers impeding entry to new investment funds, including a relatively low cost
 of entering these businesses;

· the recent trend toward consolidation in the investment management industry, and the securities business in
 general, has served to increase the size and strength of our competitors;

· some competitors may invest according to different investment styles or in alternative asset classes that
 the markets may perceive as more attractive than our investment approach;

· some competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we or our Programs have;

· other industry participants, private real estate funds and alternative asset managers may seek to recruit
 our qualified investment professionals; and

· we have a limited operating history and investors may choose conventional platforms with more operating experience
 and name recognition.

If we are unable to compete effectively, our revenue would be reduced and our business could be adversely affected.

***Poor performance of our Programs would cause a decline in our revenues and results of operations and could adversely affect our ability to raise capital for future Programs.***

We generate the majority of our revenues from (i) origination fees from debt and equity investments paid by the real estate operators or joint-ventures with which we partner, (ii) real estate-related fees from joint-ventures with which we partner, (iii) asset management fees from our Programs, and (iv) advisory fees from investors in our Programs.

If any of our Programs perform poorly, either by incurring losses or underperforming benchmarks, as compared to our competitors or otherwise, our investment record would suffer. As a result, our revenues may be adversely affected and the value of our assets under management could decrease, which may, in turn, reduce our fees. Poor performance of our Programs could also make it more difficult for us to raise new capital. Investors in our Programs may decline to invest in future Programs we form as a result of poor performance. Investors and potential investors in our Programs continually assess the performance of our Programs independently and relative to market benchmarks and our competitors, and our ability to raise capital for existing and future Programs and avoid excessive redemption levels depends on our Programs' performance. Accordingly, poor performance may deter future investment in our Programs and thereby decrease the capital invested in our Programs and, ultimately, our revenues. Alternatively, in the face of poor performance of our Programs, investors could demand lower fees or fee concessions for existing or future Programs which would likewise decrease our revenues.

***The performance of our Programs depends primarily on the performance and net value of the underlying properties that our Programs own or in which our Programs make debt or equity investments. Lack of performance or a reduction of the net value of some of these properties may adversely affect the performance of our Programs, and our financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.***

Our success depends significantly upon the performance and net value of the properties that our Programs own or in which our Programs make debt or equity investments. The performance and net value of these properties is subject to risks typically associated with real estate, which include the following many of which are partially or completely outside of our control:

· climate change and natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, or acts of war or terrorism,
 including the consequences of terrorist attacks, such as those that occurred on September 11, 2001, may result in substantial
 damage to the properties;

· adverse changes in national and local economic and real estate conditions, including potential increases in
 interest rates and declines in real estate values, may adversely affect the investments of our Programs;

· an oversupply of (or a reduction in demand for) space in the areas where particular properties are located
 and the attractiveness of competing properties to prospective tenants may limit our Programs' ability to attract or retain
 tenants;

· changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances may adversely affect the
 use of or rental income generated by the properties, and the related costs of compliance therewith and the potential for liability
 under applicable laws may result in losses to our Programs;

· remediation and liabilities associated with environmental conditions affecting properties may result in significant
 costs to our Programs;

· uninsured or underinsured property losses may result in corresponding losses to our Programs;

· an inability to realize estimated market rents may adversely affect the financial conditions of our Programs;

· a concentration of investments in properties in one sector (such as residential or retail properties) may
 leave our Programs' profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in such sector and expose our Programs to risks unique
 to such sector;

· the geographic concentration of investments in a limited number of regions may expose our Programs to adverse
 conditions in such regions;

· properties that have significant vacancies could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on
 these properties;

· lease defaults or terminations by tenants could reduce our Programs' net income;

· the profitability of investments in retail properties will be significantly impacted by the success and economic
 viability of the retail anchor tenants;

· potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks may hinder our Programs'
 results of operations and decrease net income;

· actions of any joint venture partners that our Programs may have could reduce the returns on joint venture
 investments;

· the commercial real estate loans our Programs originate or invest in could be subject to delinquency, foreclosure
 and loss, which could result in losses to our Programs;

· investments in non-conforming or non-investment grade rated loans involve greater risk of loss;

· changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads could negatively affect the value of any debt investments
 our Programs may make, which could result in reduced earnings or losses;

· prepayments can adversely affect the yields on any debt investments our Programs may make;

· many of our Programs' investments are illiquid and our Programs may not be able to vary their portfolios
 in response to changes in economic and other conditions; and

· if our Programs overestimate the value or income-producing ability or incorrectly price the risks of investments,
 they may experience losses.

***Fees received in connection with the management of our Programs comprise a significant portion of our revenues and a reduction in or elimination of such fees, including from the termination of certain relationships with our Programs, could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.***

Our primary sources of revenue currently consist of (i) origination fees from debt and equity investments paid by the real estate operators or joint-ventures with which we partner, (ii) real estate-related fees from joint-ventures with which we partner, (iii) asset management fees from our Programs, and (iv) advisory fees from investors in our Programs. If the total assets or net investment income of our Programs were to decline significantly for any reason, including without limitation, due to short-term changes in market value, mark-to-market accounting requirements, the poor performance of our Programs' investments or the failure to successfully access or invest capital, the amount of the fees we receive would also decline significantly, which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

In addition, fees paid to us could vary from due to a number of factors, including a Program's ability to invest in properties or other real estate assets that meet its investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities it acquires, the level of its expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which it encounters competition in the market, its ability to fund investments and general economic conditions. Variability in fees we received would have an adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and could cause volatility or a decline in the value of our Class B Common Stock.

In addition, the advisory, management or other arrangements between us or our affiliates on one hand, and any of our Programs on the other hand, may be terminated. For example, the manager of a Sponsored Program may be removed for "cause" upon the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding common shares of such Sponsored Program. Additionally, the arrangement between Fundrise Servicing, LLC and our Programs, pursuant to which Fundrise Servicing, LLC receives certain servicing and other fees, may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the insolvency of Fundrise Servicing, LLC or its failure to comply with the terms of the applicable servicing agreement. If any such arrangements between us or our affiliates on one hand, and any of our Programs on the other hand, are terminated, we would experience a reduction in or elimination of such fees, resulting in a significant decline in revenues.

***Future pressures to lower, waive or credit back our fees could reduce our revenue.***

We have on occasion lowered, waived or credited the fees otherwise payable to us in connection with our management of our Programs to improve projected investment returns and attract investors. There has also been a trend toward lower fees in some segments of the third-party asset management business, and fees payable to us in connection with our management of our Programs could follow these trends. In order for us to maintain our fee structure in a competitive environment, we must be able to provide investors with investment returns and service that will incentivize them to pay such fees. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in providing investment returns and service that will allow us to maintain our current fee structure. Fee reductions on existing or future Programs could have an adverse impact on our revenue.

***The historical returns attributable to our Programs may vary significantly from the future results of our Programs, our new investment strategies, our operations or any returns expected on an investment in our Class B Common Stock.***

We have presented in this offering circular the returns relating to the historical performance of our Programs. The returns are relevant to us primarily insofar as they are indicative of revenues we have earned in the past and may earn in the future, our reputation and our ability to form new Programs. The returns of our Programs are not, however, directly linked to returns on our Class B Common Stock, since an investment in our Class B Common Stock is not an investment in any of our Programs (although we typically invest a limited amount of capital in our Programs to create an alignment of interest with investors in our Programs). Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of our Programs will necessarily result in positive returns on an investment in our Class B Common Stock. However, poor performance of our Programs will cause a decline in our revenue from such Programs, and would therefore have a negative effect on our performance and the value of our Class B Common Stock. Moreover, the historical returns of our Programs should not be considered indicative of, and may vary significantly from, the future returns of these or any future Programs we may form, in part because our Programs' returns have benefited from investment opportunities and general market conditions that may not repeat themselves, including the availability of debt capital on attractive terms, and there can be no assurance that our current or future Programs will be able to avail themselves of profitable investment opportunities.

In addition, the internal rate of return, or IRR, for any current or future Program may vary considerably from the historical IRR generated by any particular Programs, or for our Programs as a whole. Future returns will also be affected by the risks described elsewhere in this offering circular, including risks of the industries and businesses in which a particular Program invests.

***The Programs face competition for investment opportunities, which could reduce returns and result in losses to the Programs and reduce our revenues.***

Even though our Programs are focusing on investments consisting primarily of small balance commercial real estate assets, which we believe are not targeted by institutional funds, the Programs compete for the acquisition of properties and other investments and the origination of loans with certain other companies, including REITs, insurance companies, commercial banks, certain private investment funds, hedge funds, specialty finance companies, online investment platforms and other investors. Several of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we or our Programs do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to us or the Programs. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we or our Programs have. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more relationships and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than we are able to do for our Programs. We may lose investment opportunities for our Programs if we do not match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure. If we are forced to match our competitors' pricing, terms and/or structure, we may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on investments for the Programs or such investments may bear substantial risk of capital loss, particularly relative to the returns to be achieved. Furthermore, a significant increase in the number and/or the size of our competitors in our target market could force us to accept less attractive investment terms for the Programs. Moreover, some of our competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 imposes on the manager of our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs.

***The significant growth we have experienced, particularly with respect to assets under management and revenues, will be difficult to sustain.***

Our assets under management increased from approximately $250 million as of December 31, 2017 to approximately $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2022. The continued growth of our business will depend on, among other things, our ability to devote sufficient resources to maintaining existing investment strategies and developing new investment strategies and Programs, our ability to raise adequate capital for our Programs, our ability to identify and source appropriate real estate assets and investments, our ability to maintain and further develop relationships with real estate operators and other sources of investment opportunities, our success in producing attractive returns from our investment strategies, our ability to extend our distribution capabilities and direct investor traffic to the Fundrise Platform, our ability to deal with changing market conditions, our ability to maintain adequate financial and business controls and our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements arising in response to the increased sophistication of the real estate investment management market. Any failure to sustain the level of growth we have achieved historically could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and control our expenses.

***Our failure to manage future growth effectively may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.***

We may experience continued rapid growth in our operations, which may place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our executive officers to manage growth effectively. Our ability to grow also depends upon our ability to successfully hire, train, supervise and manage new employees, obtain financing for our capital needs, expand our systems effectively, allocate our human resources optimally, maintain clear lines of communication between our transactional and management functions and our finance and accounting functions and manage the pressures on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to accurately anticipate and respond to the changing demands we will face as we continue to expand our operations, and we may not be able to manage growth effectively or to achieve growth at all. Any failure to manage our future growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We intend to expand into new investment strategies and geographic markets and may enter into new lines of business, each of which may result in additional risks and uncertainties in our businesses.***

If market conditions warrant, we intend to grow by increasing assets under management in existing businesses and expanding into new investment strategies and geographic markets and may enter into new lines of business. We may develop new strategies and Programs organically through the Fundrise Platform. We may also pursue growth through acquisitions of critical business partners or other strategic initiatives.

Attempts to expand our businesses involve a number of special risks, including some or all of the following:

· the required investment of capital and other resources;

· the diversion of management's attention from our core businesses;

· the levels of experience of our executive officers, investment professionals and senior management in operating
 new investment strategies and Programs;

· the assumption of liabilities in any acquired business;

· unexpected difficulties or the incurrence of unexpected costs associated with integrating and overseeing the
 operations of new businesses and activities;

· entry into geographic markets or lines of business in which we may have limited or no experience;

· increasing demands on our operational and management systems and controls;

· new investment strategies and Programs may provide for less profitable fee structures and arrangements than
 our existing investment strategies and Programs;

· compliance with additional regulatory requirements; and

· the broadening of our geographic footprint, increasing the risks associated with conducting operations in
 certain jurisdictions where we currently have no presence.

Entry into certain lines of business may subject us to new laws and regulations with which we are not familiar, or from which we are currently exempt, and may lead to increased litigation and regulatory risk. In addition, attempts to expand our business may result in investment of capital and additional expenses incurred that, while generally structured to be reimbursable to the Company, may ultimately only be received by us if the new investment initiative is successful. If a new business does not generate sufficient revenues or if we are unable to efficiently manage our expanded operations, our results of operations will be adversely affected. Our strategic initiatives may include joint ventures, in which case we will be subject to additional risks and uncertainties in that we may be dependent upon, and subject to liability, losses or reputational damage relating to systems, controls and personnel that are not under our control. Further, as we expand existing and develop new Programs that are not permanent capital vehicles, we may be subject to a greater risk of, among other things, investor redemptions and reallocation. Because we have not yet identified these potential new investment strategies, geographic markets or lines of business, we cannot identify all the risks we may face and the potential adverse consequences on us and your investment that may result from any attempted expansion. The risks described above, including those we cannot identify, may prevent us from growing our business through expanded product offerings or result in unexpected costs that may lead to a decline in our financial position and the value of our Class B Common Stock.

***Operational risks may disrupt our business, result in losses or limit our growth.***

We are heavily dependent on the capacity and reliability of the technology systems supporting our operations, whether owned and operated by us or by third parties. Operational risks such as interruption of our financial, accounting, compliance and other data processing systems, whether caused by fire, other natural disaster, power or telecommunications failure, cyber-attacks or other cyber incidents, act of terrorism or war or otherwise, could result in a disruption of our business, liability to investors, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. If any of these systems do not operate properly or are disabled for any reason or if there is any unauthorized disclosure of data, whether as a result of tampering, a breach of our network security systems, a cyber-incident or attack or otherwise, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to our Programs, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Insurance and other safeguards might be unavailable or might only partially reimburse us for our losses. Although we have back-up systems in place, our back-up procedures and capabilities in the event of a failure or interruption may not be adequate.

The inability of our systems to accommodate an increasing volume of transactions also could constrain our ability to expand our businesses. Additionally, any upgrades or expansions to our operations or technology may require significant expenditures and may increase the probability that we will suffer system degradations and failures.

***If we use proceeds from our offering or from operations to redeem shares of our Class B Stock, we will have less capital available to make investments and fund our operations.***

We have in the past, and reserve the right in the future to allow limited redemptions in exceptional circumstances, including, without limitation, personal conduct redemptions. If we determine to repurchase shares of Class B Common Stock under the above circumstance, we may use offering proceeds or cash on hand that might reduce our ability to fund investments or our operations.

***The occurrence of a cyber incident, or a deficiency in our cyber security, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, or damage to our business relationships and reputation, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.***

The Fundrise Platform processes certain confidential information provided by investors, including investors in our Programs, including investors' bank information and other personally-identifiable sensitive data. While we take commercially reasonable measures to protect our investors' confidential information and maintain appropriate cybersecurity, the security measures of the Fundrise Platform, our company's information technology systems or those of our affiliates or our service providers could be breached.

The Fundrise Platform is hosted in data centers that are compliant with payment card industry security standards and the website is tested by a 3rd party to ensure the highest levels of security are in place. However, any accidental or willful breach or other unauthorized access to our information technology systems could cause such information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes, in which case we, our Programs, and our investors would be subject to increased risks, including risk of fraud or identity theft. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems are inherently difficult to foresee and may not be recognized until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.

In addition, many states have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause investors to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. As we rely on this technology, this poses risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident, including operational interruption and damage to our relationship with our investors (including investors in our Programs) and service providers, which could negatively impact our reputation and financial results.

***Employee misconduct and unsubstantiated allegations against us could expose us to significant reputational harm.***

We are vulnerable to reputational harm, as we operate in an industry where integrity and the confidence of investors in our Programs are of critical importance. If an employee were to engage in illegal or suspicious activities, or if unsubstantiated allegations are made against us by employees, stockholders or others, we may suffer serious harm to our reputation (as a consequence of the negative perception resulting from such activities or allegations), financial position, relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market, and our ability to attract new investors. Our business often requires that we deal with confidential information. If our employees were to improperly use or disclose this information, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial position and current and future business relationships.

It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in all cases. Misconduct by our employees, or even unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct, could subject us to regulatory sanctions and result in an adverse effect on our reputation and our business.

***If our techniques for managing risk are ineffective, we may be exposed to unanticipated losses.***

In order to manage the significant risks inherent in our business, we must maintain effective policies, procedures and systems that enable us to identify, monitor and control our exposure to market, operational, legal and reputational risks. Our risk management methods may prove to be ineffective due to their design or implementation or as a result of the lack of adequate, accurate or timely information. If our risk management efforts are ineffective, we could suffer losses or face litigation, particularly from our clients, and sanctions or fines from regulators.

Our techniques for managing risks in our Programs may not fully mitigate the risk exposure in all economic or market environments, or against all types of risk, including risks that we might fail to identify or anticipate. Any failures in our risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks in those Programs or to seek positive, risk-adjusted returns. In addition, any risk management failures could cause fund losses to be significantly greater than historical measures predict. Our more qualitative approach to managing those risks could prove insufficient, exposing us to unanticipated losses in the net asset value of the Programs and therefore a reduction in our revenues.

***We may be required to repay loans that we guarantee in order for our Programs to finance the acquisition of properties.***

From time to time we may provide certain guarantees of loans in order for our Programs to finance the acquisition of properties. If, in the future, we are called upon to satisfy a substantial portion of these guarantees, our results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

***A significant amount of our Programs are structured through vehicles intended to qualify as REITs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. REITs are generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on their net income that is distributed to their shareholders. If any such Program fails to satisfy the requirements necessary to permit it to qualify for this favorable tax status, we could be subject to claims by investors and our reputation for structuring these Programs would be negatively affected, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.***

We structure some of our Programs as public non-traded REITs. A REIT is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its net income that is distributed to its shareholders, which substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (*i.e.*, taxation at both the corporate and shareholder levels) that generally arises in an investment in a taxable corporation. This flow-through treatment permits REITs to have more income available for distributions to investors (*i.e.,* without reduction for U.S. federal corporate income tax). If a REIT fails to satisfy the complex requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we could be subject to claims by investors as a result of such REIT being subject to U.S. federal corporate income (and possibly increased state and local) tax and a reduction in the funds available for distribution to investors in our Programs. In addition, any failure to satisfy applicable tax REIT requirements in structuring our Programs would negatively affect our reputation, which would in turn affect our ability to earn additional fees from new Programs. Claims by investors could lead to losses and any reduction in our fees would have an adverse effect on our revenues.

***The Internal Revenue Service could challenge the classification of our eFunds as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, causing them to be subject to corporate level taxation.***

We intend for our eFunds to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxed as a corporation. However, qualification as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes involves complex tax considerations, including compliance with certain safe harbors to avoid taxation as a corporation. If any of our eFunds fail to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to entity-level U.S. federal corporate income tax and, as a result, its cash available for distribution to its members and the value of its common shares could materially decrease. In addition, any failure of any of our eFunds to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes would negatively affect our reputation, which would in turn affect our ability to earn additional fees from new Programs. Claims by investors could lead to losses and any reduction in our fees would have an adverse effect on our revenues.

***The investment management industry faces substantial litigation risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations or cause significant reputational harm to us.***

We depend to a large extent on our network of relationships and on our reputation in order to attract and retain investors. If an investor in our Programs is not satisfied with our products or services, such dissatisfaction, especially communicated to others, may be more damaging to our business than to other types of businesses. We make investment decisions on behalf of investors in our Programs that could result in substantial losses to them. If investors in our Programs suffer significant losses, or are otherwise dissatisfied with our services, we could be subject to the risk of legal liabilities or actions alleging negligent misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment or fraud. These risks are often difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude often remain unknown for substantial periods of time, even after an action has been commenced. We may incur significant legal expenses in defending against litigation. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could cause significant reputational harm to us and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

***Any failure to protect our own intellectual property rights could impair our brand, or subject us to claims for alleged infringement by third parties, which could harm our business.***

We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark and other rights, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate or circumvent our copyright, trade secret, trademark and other rights or applications for any of the foregoing. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our industry. From time to time, third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing on such rights. We may, however, be unaware of the intellectual property rights that others may claim cover some or all of our technology or services.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. In addition, any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering investments in our Programs or operating the Fundrise Platform or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and our business.

**Risks Related to this Offering and our Structure**

***Because no public trading market for our shares currently exists, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares and, if you are able to sell your shares, you will likely sell them at a substantial discount to the public offering price.***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not require us to list our shares for trading on a national securities exchange by a specified date. There is no public market for our shares and we currently have no plans to list our shares on a stock exchange or other trading market. Until our shares are listed, if ever, you may not sell your shares unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Although, we have in the past and reserve the right in the future to allow limited redemptions in exceptional circumstances, including, without limitation, personal conduct redemptions. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount to their public offering price. It is also likely that your shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. Because of the illiquid nature of our shares, you should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.

***If we do not successfully implement a liquidity transaction, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period.***

Although we presently intend to list our shares of Class B Common Stock on a stock exchange or other trading market at some point in the future in order to provide liquidity to our stockholders, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not require us to pursue such a liquidity transaction, nor will we enter into any registration rights agreement with stockholders. Market conditions and other factors could cause us to delay the listing of our shares on a stock exchange or other trading market exchange. If we decide to pursue a liquidity transaction, we would be under no obligation to conclude the process within a set time. If we decide to list our shares on a stock exchange or other trading market, the timing of such listing will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions, and U.S. federal income tax effects on stockholders, that may prevail in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in listing our shares. If we do not decide to list our shares, or delay such a listing due to market conditions, your shares may continue to be illiquid and you may, for an indefinite period of time, be unable to convert your investment to cash easily and could suffer losses on your investment.

***This offering and the offerings of our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs are focused on attracting a large number of investors that plan on making relatively small investments. An inability to attract such investors may have an adverse effect on the success of our and our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs' offerings, and we may not raise adequate capital to implement our business strategy.***

Our Class B Common Stock and the common shares of our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs are being offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Regulation A). "Qualified purchasers" include: (i) "accredited investors" under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (which, in the case of natural persons, (A) have an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person's spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person, (B) earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year, (C) who has certain professional certifications, designations or credentials or other credentials issued by an accredited educational institution, as designated by the SEC or (D) who, with respect to investments in a private fund, are "knowledgeable employees" of the fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act) and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in the particular issuer does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). However, our Class B Common Stock and the common shares of our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs are currently being offered and sold only to those investors that are within the latter category (i.e., investors whose investment in our Class B Common Stock or in the common shares of an eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Program, as applicable, does not represent more than 10% of the applicable amount), regardless of an investor's status as an "accredited investor." Therefore, our target investor base inherently consists of persons that may not have the high net worth or income that investors in traditional initial public offerings have, where the investor base is typically composed of "accredited investors."

Our reliance on attracting investors that may not meet the net worth or income requirements of "accredited investors" carries certain risks that may not be present in traditional initial public offerings. For example, certain economic, geopolitical and social conditions may influence the investing habits and risk tolerance of these smaller investors to a greater extent than "accredited investors," which may have an adverse effect on our ability to raise adequate capital to implement our business strategy. Additionally, our focus on investors that plan on making, or are able to make, relatively small investments requires a larger investor base in order to meet our goal of raising approximately $19.7 million in this offering and each eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Program's goal of raising $75,000,000 on a rolling 12-month basis in its offering. We may have difficulties in attracting a large investor base, which may have an adverse effect on the success of this offering, the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs' offerings, and a larger investor base involves increased transaction costs, which will increase our, our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs' expenses. Further, if our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs are unable to successfully raise capital for their respective business strategies, we will experience a decrease in the fees that we collect from our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs or from real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs, which would have a negative effect on our growth prospects.

***Because we are limited in the amount of funds we can raise in this offering, we may be unable to form an adequate number of new Programs in order to achieve our growth potential.***

This offering is being made on a "best efforts" basis. Under Regulation A, we are allowed to raise only up to $75,000,000 in any 12-month period (although we may raise capital in other ways). Failure to raise substantial funds may limit our ability to expand our business, preventing us from attaining our growth objectives. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a public reporting company, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in this offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

***We will continue to be controlled by our executive officers who hold shares of our capital stock, and their interests may conflict with those of our other stockholders.***

Upon the completion of this offering (that is, assuming that we are able to raise the balance of the aggregate $19.7 million of Class B Common Stock being offered in this offering), our executive officers who hold shares of our capital stock, one of whom is Benjamin Miller, our Chief Executive Officer, will collectively hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of our capital stock (after giving effect to the voting rights of the holders of preferred stock, voting on an as-converted basis). So long as our executive officers continue to collectively hold, directly or indirectly, shares of capital stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of our capital stock, they will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors (and therefore our management and policies), amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. The control exercised by our executive officers may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company or discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares, which could prevent stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares. These actions may be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. The interests of our executive officers may not always coincide with the interests of other stockholders, and our executive officers may act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of our other stockholders.

***The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Class F Common Stock could restrict our ability to enter into various corporate transactions that may be beneficial to our business strategy.***

So long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, we are generally prohibited from, among other things, the following:

· effecting a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets;

· entering into any merger or consolidation;

· effecting a change of control;

· effecting a liquidation or dissolution;

· amending our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

· authorizing or issuing equity securities that are senior to, or on parity with, our preferred stock;

· redeeming or otherwise acquiring any shares of preferred stock or common stock;

· changing the size of our board of directors;

· paying or declaring any dividends;

· approving any transaction that is outside of the annual budget approved by our board of directors and involves
 a capital expenditure in excess of $1,000,000;

· entering into certain affiliate transactions;

· entering into an agreement relating to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer;

· changing our material accounting methods or policies to those that are not in compliance with U.S. generally
 accepted accounting principles, or GAAP;

· issuing any equity securities for consideration other than cash;

· increasing the number of shares reserved under the 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan or adopting any new stock
 options or incentive plans;

· changing our primary lines of business; and

· licensing or encumbering any of our intellectual property.

Additionally, so long as any shares of Class F Common Stock are outstanding, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class F Common Stock, we are generally prohibited from, among other things, the following:

· amending our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws if such amendment would adversely
 affect the rights of the holders of Class F Common Stock;

· changing the authorized number of shares of Class F Common Stock;

· authorizing or issuing equity securities that have voting rights more favorable than those grants to the Class F
 Common Stock; and

· changing the size of our board of directors.

These restrictions may limit our ability to engage in activities which could expand our business, including obtaining future financing, making needed capital expenditures, or taking advantage of business opportunities such as strategic acquisitions and dispositions.

***Holders of our Class B Common Stock have no voting rights, except under limited circumstances, and your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions of the company, including a change in control, are limited.***

Holders of our Class B Common Stock do not have voting rights, except as may be required by Delaware law, and will have no right to vote for any members of our board of directors or increases in the number of authorized shares of common stock (including the number of shares designated as Class B Common Shares. The holders of our Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our Class F Common Stock are entitled to ten (10) votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Class F Common Stock control the voting power of our capital stock and therefore will control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. Furthermore, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have contractual rights to approve certain corporate transactions, including effecting a change of control of our company. The holders of our Class F Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class B Common Stock.

***Our Class B Common Stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and a company repurchase option, both of which could restrict your ability to sell your shares or realize a profit on your shares.***

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of our Class B Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class B Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors or our chief executive officer, except for certain exempt transfers. Our board of directors or chief executive officer may withhold consent to any prohibited transfer in its absolute discretion. Accordingly, if you intend to sell or otherwise transfer your shares of Class B Common Stock, and the intended transfer is prohibited, you may not be able to consummate the sale or transfer without prior consent, and the board of directors or chief executive officer have no obligation to approve the sale or transfer. In such circumstance, you may be required to hold your shares indefinitely or transfer them at a later time and for a lower price per share than you originally proposed selling them for.

Additionally, pursuant to subscription agreements that we enter into with each holder of Class B Common Stock, we have the right to repurchase, at the original purchase price, all of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by a holder if such holder fails to conform their personal conduct to accepted standards of good citizenship or if such holder conducts itself in a way that reflects poorly on our company, as determined by our board of directors or chief executive officer in their sole discretion. If we repurchase your shares of Class B Common Stock under the above circumstances, you will not realize any profit on your shares, regardless of the current fair market value of those shares. These restrictions on transfer and our repurchase option on the Class B Common Stock could also have an adverse effect on the marketability of our Class B Common Stock, which could decrease the value of the Class B Common Stock.

***As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board committees.***

As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, while we have a board of directors and have adopted guidelines relating to director conflicts of interests and policies relating to related-party transactions, we do not have, nor are we required to have (i) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (ii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (iv) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.

***Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could hinder, delay or prevent a change of control of the Company.***

Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company, even if a change of control would be beneficial to the interests of our stockholders. For example, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction by which that person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a business combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior did own, 15% or more of voting shares. Although Section 203 is not applicable to us as of the date of this offering circular, because we do not currently have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders (one of which must be true in order for Section 203 to apply), we may become subject to Section 203 in the future. As an additional example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that so long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, we are generally prohibited from effecting a change of control.

***The offering price of our shares of Class B Common Stock was not established on an independent basis; the actual value of your investment may be substantially less than what you pay.***

We established the offering price of our shares of Class B Common Stock on an arbitrary basis. The selling price of our shares bears no relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing shares. Because the offering price is not based upon any independent valuation, the offering price may be substantially more than the actual value of your investment. Further, the offering price may be significantly more than the price at which the shares would trade if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers.

***Your interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of your investment.***

Potential investors in this offering do not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have authority to issue an aggregate of 106,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 91,000,000 shares of common stock (of which 43,000,000 are Class A Common Stock, 38,000,000 are Class B Common Stock, and 10,000,000 are Class F Common Stock) and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and, subject to certain protective provisions, our stockholders may amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares, although, under Regulation A, we are only allowed to sell up to $75,000,000 of our shares of Class B Common Stock in any 12-month period (although we may raise capital in other ways). After your purchase in this offering, our board of directors may elect to issue or sell additional shares in future public or private offerings. To the extent we issue additional shares after your purchase in this offering, your percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our investments, you may also experience dilution in the book value of your shares. As of January 26, 2023, 43,079,878 shares of capital stock are outstanding including 18,758,938 shares of Class B Common Stock, but not including 1,298,000 shares of Class B Common Stock being offered in this offering.

***By purchasing shares in this offering, an investor agrees to waive certain inspection rights set forth in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, which limits such investor's ability to obtain certain corporate information from us.***

Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware allows a stockholder of a company to inspect for any proper purpose, a company's stock ledger, list of stockholders, and other books and records and the books and records of a company's subsidiary in certain circumstances. By purchasing shares in this offering, investors agree to waive the inspection rights set forth in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Despite our obligation to publicly file certain reports under Regulation A, such waiver will limit an investor's ability to obtain information from us for certain proper purposes under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, which may prevent or delay an investor from evaluating our business or such investor's investment in our securities.

***We do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.***

We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business, and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of the value of our Class B Common Stock, which may never occur.

**Risks Relating to Economic Conditions**

***Economic recessions or downturns may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Economic recessions or downturns may result in a prolonged period of market illiquidity, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unfavorable economic conditions also could reduce investments on our Fundrise Platform by Program investors and engagement by real estate operators. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, have resulted in and could continue to result in a general decline in acquisition, disposition and leasing activity, as well as a general decline in the value of real estate and in rents. These events could adversely affect our demand among investors and negatively impact our ability to generate the fees that we collect from our Programs or from real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our Programs, which will impact our results of operations.

During an economic downturn, it may also take longer for our Programs or for the real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our Programs to dispose of real estate investments, or the disposition prices may be lower than originally anticipated. As a result, the carrying value of such real estate investments may become impaired and our Programs could record losses as a result of such impairment or could experience reduced profitability related to declines in real estate values. These events could adversely affect the performance of our Programs and, in turn, our business, and negatively impact our results of operations.

Negative general economic conditions could continue to reduce the overall amount of sale and leasing activity in the commercial real estate industry, and hence the demand for the securities offered by our Programs, which may in turn adversely affect our revenues. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the current disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the United States and other countries.

***Global economic, political and market conditions and economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The current worldwide financial market situation, various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, and the recent public health crisis caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), may continue to contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets, and may cause further economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Economic uncertainty can have a negative impact on our business through changing spreads, structures and purchase multiples, as well as the overall supply of investment capital. Since 2010, several European Union, or EU, countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, have faced budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries. Additionally, the precise details and the resulting impact of the United Kingdom's vote to leave the EU, commonly referred to as "Brexit", are impossible to ascertain at this point. The effect on the United Kingdom's economy will likely depend on the nature of trade relations with the EU following its exit, a matter to be negotiated. The decision may cause increased volatility and have a significant adverse impact on world financial markets, other international trade agreements, and the United Kingdom and European economies, as well as the broader global economy for some time. Further, there is continued concern about national-level support for the Euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among European Economic and Monetary Union member countries. In addition, the fiscal policy of foreign nations, such as China, may have a severe impact on the worldwide and United States financial markets. Finally, public health crises, pandemics and epidemics, such as those caused by new strains of viruses such as H5N1 (avian flu), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and, most recently, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), are expected to increase as international travel continues to rise and could adversely impact our business by interrupting business, supply chains and transactional activities, disrupting travel, and negatively impacting local, national or global economies. We do not know how long the financial markets will continue to be affected by these events and cannot predict the effects of these or similar events in the future on the United States economy and securities markets or on our investments. As a result of these factors, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully monitor developments, manage our investments and continue to grow our existing Sponsored Programs and successfully sponsor new Sponsored Programs and the fee revenues they generate for us in a manner consistent with achieving our investment objectives.

***The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. We cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our and our Sponsored Programs' access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings and the ability to grow our business. In addition, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately decrease occupancy levels and pricing across our Sponsored Programs' portfolios and may cause one or more of their borrowers or tenants to be unable to meet their debt service or rent obligations to them in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations. In addition, governmental authorities may enact laws that will prevent the Sponsored Programs from taking action against borrowers or tenants who do not pay rent.

The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

**Risks Related to our Development and the Fundrise Platform**

***Our ability to implement our business strategy is dependent, in part, upon our ability to successfully conduct this offering, and the ability of our Programs to conduct their offerings, through the Fundrise Platform, which makes an investment in us more speculative.***

We will conduct this offering primarily through the Fundrise Platform, which we own through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fundrise, LLC. Only a limited number of investment opportunities, including investment opportunities in our Programs, have been offered through the Fundrise Platform prior to this offering. The success of this offering, and our ability to implement our business strategy, is dependent upon our ability to sell shares of Class B Common Stock to investors through the Fundrise Platform. If we are not successful in selling additional shares of Class B Common Stock through the Fundrise Platform, our ability to raise proceeds through this offering will be limited and we may not have adequate capital to implement our business strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our business strategy, you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Our ability to implement our business strategy is also dependent upon the ability of our Programs to conduct their offerings through the Fundrise Platform. If our Programs are not successful in conducting their offerings through the Fundrise Platform, their abilities to raise proceeds through their offerings will be limited and they may not have adequate capital to implement their business strategies. If our Programs are unsuccessful in implementing their business strategies, we would experience a reduction in or elimination of the fees that we collect in connection with our management of our Programs, which could harm our business and results of operations.

***We are a development stage company with limited operating history and no profits to date. As a company in the early stages of development, we face increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties.***

We have a limited operating history. In order for us to be successful, the volume of Programs sponsored on the Fundrise Platform will need to increase, which will require us to increase our facilities, personnel and infrastructure to accommodate the greater obligations and demands on the Fundrise Platform. The Fundrise Platform is dependent upon the website to maintain current listings and transactions in real estate-related assets comprising our Programs. We also expect to constantly update our software and website, expand our customer support services and retain an appropriate number of employees to maintain the operations of the Fundrise Platform. If our business grows substantially, we may need to make significant new investments in personnel and infrastructure to support that growth. If we are unable to increase the capacity of the Fundrise Platform and maintain the necessary infrastructure, or if we are unable to make significant investments on a timely basis or at reasonable costs, the Fundrise Platform may experience periodic downtime, which may cause disruptions to the business and operations of our Programs. Such disruptions may in turn adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations, and if we fail to obtain additional funding, we may be unable to continue operations.***

At this early stage in our development, we have funded substantially all of our operations with proceeds from private financings from individual investors or sales of our Class B Common Stock pursuant to private placements and Regulation A offerings such as this offering. To continue the development of the Fundrise Platform, we will require substantial additional funds. To meet such financing requirements in the future, we may raise funds through additional equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds may involve agreements or covenants that restrict our business activities and options. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds for the operation of the Fundrise Platform, we may be forced to reduce or terminate its operation, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***If we were to enter bankruptcy proceedings, the operation of the Fundrise Platform and the activities with respect to our operations and business would be interrupted and subscription proceeds held in a segregated account may be subject to the bankruptcy.***

If we were to enter bankruptcy proceedings or to cease operations, we would be required to find other ways to meet obligations regarding our operations and business. Such alternatives could result in delays in the filing of reports or could require us to pay significant fees to another company that we engage to perform services for us.

***Any significant disruption in service on the Fundrise Platform or in its computer systems could reduce the attractiveness of the Fundrise Platform and result in a loss of members.***

If a catastrophic event resulted in a platform outage and physical data loss, the Fundrise Platform's ability to perform its functions would be adversely affected. The satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our technology and our underlying hosting services infrastructure are critical to our operations, level of customer service, reputation and ability to attract new members and retain existing members. Our hosting services infrastructure is provided by a third party hosting provider (the "Hosting Provider"). We also maintain a backup system at a separate location that is owned and operated by a third party. The Hosting Provider does not guarantee that members' access to the Fundrise Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Our operations depend on the Hosting Provider's ability to protect its and our systems in its facilities against damage or interruption from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality, temperature, humidity and other environmental concerns, computer viruses or other attempts to harm our systems, criminal acts and similar events. If our arrangement with the Hosting Provider is terminated, or there is a lapse of service or damage to its facilities, we could experience interruptions in our service as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities. Any interruptions or delays in our service, whether as a result of an error by the Hosting Provider or other third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm the success of this offering, our Programs' ability to perform any services for project investments or maintain accurate accounts, our relationships with our members and our reputation. Additionally, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and it may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage at a facility operated by the Hosting Provider. These factors could prevent our Programs from processing or posting payments on the corresponding investments, damage our brand and reputation, divert our employees' attention, and cause members to abandon the Fundrise Platform.

***We rely on third-party banks and on third-party computer hardware and software. If we are unable to continue utilizing these services, our business and our Programs' ability to service the corresponding project loans and equity investments may be adversely affected.***

Our Programs and the Fundrise Platform rely on third-party and FDIC-insured depository institutions to process their transactions, including payments of corresponding loans and equity investments and distributions to their shareholders or noteholders. Additionally, we rely on such institutions to process subscriptions under this offering. Under the Automated Clearing House (ACH) rules, if we experience a high rate of reversed transactions (known as "chargebacks"), we may be subject to sanctions and potentially disqualified from using the system to process payments. The Fundrise Platform also relies on computer hardware purchased and software licensed from third parties. This purchased or licensed hardware and software may be physically located off-site, as is often the case with "cloud services." This purchased or licensed hardware and software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the Fundrise Platform cannot continue to obtain such services elsewhere, or if it cannot transition to another processor quickly, our and our Programs' ability to process payments will suffer.

**Risks Related to Compliance and Regulation**

***We and our Sponsored Programs are subject to extensive regulation, and failure to comply with such regulation could have an adverse effect on our business.***

We, our Sponsored Programs, and our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation. In particular, we are subject to regulation by the SEC under the federal securities laws, and the Flagship Fund, Income Interval Fund and Innovation Fund as well as the manager of our Sponsored Programs are subject to regulation under either or both of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act").

The various legal statutes and regulatory rules that we and our subsidiaries are subject to are extremely complex, and compliance with them can be a time-consuming and difficult task. For example, the Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on investment advisers, including record keeping, advertising and operating requirements, disclosure obligations and prohibitions on misleading or fraudulent activities. The Advisers Act also imposes an overriding fiduciary duty on investment advisers. As we develop new investment strategies and businesses, we expect to become subject to additional regulations and oversight by regulatory agencies with which we do not currently have experience.

Failure to comply with various laws and regulations applicable to us and our subsidiaries could have an adverse impact on our business. These include the possibility of significant civil or criminal fines, censure, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions (including the possibility of being barred from the industry) or the revocation of the registration of the manager of our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs as an investment adviser. Moreover, even if the announcement of a sanction imposed against us, one of our subsidiaries or our personnel by a regulator is for a small monetary amount, the adverse publicity related to the sanction could harm our reputation, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our businesses in a number of ways, making it harder for us to form new Programs and discouraging others from doing business with us. Additionally, the bringing of a significant enforcement action against us could cause irreparable damage to our business reputation and ability to remain in business, regardless of the merits of the claim against us.

Pursuant to the Advisers Act, operating agreements between certain of our subsidiaries who are U.S. registered investment advisers, and the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs are not assignable without the consent of the relevant eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs. Assignment, as generally defined, includes direct assignments as well as assignments that may be deemed to occur, under certain circumstances, upon the direct or indirect transfer of a "controlling block" of the voting securities of the respective subsidiary. A transaction is not an assignment under the Advisers Act, however, if it does not result in a change of actual control or management of the relevant subsidiary.

We could decide to sell a controlling block of our voting securities in the future, in which event the contractual anti-assignment and termination provisions of the operating agreements between our U.S. registered investment adviser subsidiaries and the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs may be implicated. If an assignment of the operating agreements between the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs and our U.S. registered investment adviser subsidiaries is deemed to occur, and the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs do not consent to the assignment or enter into new agreements, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

***The regulatory environment in which we operate is subject to continual change and regulatory developments designed to increase oversight and may adversely affect our business.***

The regulatory environment in which we operate has undergone significant changes in the recent past, including the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the adoption of many new rules and regulations in response. We believe there may be more regulatory changes in our industry, which would result in subjecting participants to significant additional regulation. The requirements imposed by our regulators are designed to ensure the integrity of the financial markets and to protect investors and other third parties who deal with us. These regulations often serve to limit our activities, including through customer protection and market conduct requirements. New laws or regulations, or changes in the enforcement of existing laws or regulations, applicable to us may adversely affect our business. Our ability to function in this environment will depend on our ability to constantly monitor and promptly react to legislative and regulatory changes. For investment management firms in general, there have been a number of highly publicized regulatory inquiries that focus on the asset management industry. These inquiries already have resulted in increased scrutiny in the industry and new rules and regulations for investment managers. This regulatory scrutiny may limit our ability to engage in certain activities that might be beneficial to our stockholders.

In addition, as a result of the recent economic downturn, acts of serious fraud in the asset management industry and perceived lapses in regulatory oversight, U.S. governmental and regulatory authorities may increase regulatory oversight of our businesses. We may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations imposed by the SEC, other U.S. governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise the financial markets. We also may be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any of the proposals will become law. The enactment of new laws or regulations could make compliance more difficult and expensive and affect the manner in which we conduct business.

***We are offering our shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to recent amendments to Regulation A promulgated pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Tier 2 issuers make our shares of Class B Common Stock less attractive to investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering.***

As a Tier 2 issuer, we are subject to scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, which may make our shares of Class B Common Stock less attractive to investors who are accustomed to traditional initial public offerings that are subject to enhanced disclosure and more frequent financial reporting. In addition, given the relative lack of regulatory precedence regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty in regards to how the SEC or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our shares of Class B Common Stock, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to. If our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, or regulatory uncertainty regarding Regulation A, reduces the attractiveness of our shares of Class B Common Stock, we may be unable to raise the necessary funds necessary to continue developing our Programs, which could severely affect the value of our shares of Class B Common Stock.

Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standard that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with all public accounting standards.

***This offering and the offerings of many of our Sponsored Programs rely on relatively untested regulatory regimes, most notably Regulation A promulgated pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Act. Accordingly, we and many of our Sponsored Programs face heightened regulatory uncertainty regarding how to conduct such offerings, as well as potential enforcement actions from state and federal regulators regarding the compliance of such offerings with applicable regulatory regimes.***

Given the relative lack of regulatory precedence regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty in regards to how the SEC or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our shares of Class B Common Stock and our Programs' common shares, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to. As the first company to sponsor multiple offerings under Regulation A, we have led the way in establishing regulatory norms and precedents for offerings undertaken as a Tier 2 issuer, including with regard to our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements and our plan of distribution. While we endeavor to comply with all regulatory regimes with regard to this offering and our Sponsored Programs' offerings, as a result of the novelty of our business practices surrounding such offerings, we expect to be subject to heightened regulatory focus while the regulatory norms and precedents surrounding our offerings become established, which may result in inquiries, investigations, or other enforcement actions from state or federal regulators, which could severely affect the value of our shares of Class B Common Stock.

***Our use of Form 1-A and our reliance on Regulation A for this offering may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it, as compared to if we were conducting a traditional initial public offering on Form S-1.***

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us under Regulation A and because we are only permitted to raise up to $75,000,000 in any 12-month period under Regulation A (although we may raise capital in other ways), we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions.***

As a Tier 2 issuer, we do not need to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are a Tier 2 issuer. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

***If we were required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have an adverse effect on our business.***

Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act provides that an investment company is any issuer which: (A) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; (B) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type; or (C) owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. As used in Section 3(a), "investment securities" includes all securities except U.S. government securities; securities issued by employees' securities companies; and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries of the owner which are not investment companies, and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company in Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

We believe that we are engaged primarily in the business of providing asset management services and not in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We do not issue face-amount certificates of the installment type. We hold ourselves out as an asset manager and do not propose to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Accordingly, we do not believe we meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1)(A) and 3(a)(1)(B) of the Investment Company Act. We also believe we do not meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. Substantially all of our assets are equity interests in certain wholly-owned subsidiaries which themselves do not meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. We also currently and in the future may hold investment securities but we will monitor our holdings to ensure that the value of such investment securities will not exceed 40% of the total value of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Similarly, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries currently and may in the future hold investment securities. We will also monitor the holdings of those wholly-owned subsidiaries to ensure that the value of each subsidiary's investment securities will not exceed 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

The Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operation of investment companies. Among other things, the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, generally prohibit the issuance of options and impose certain governance requirements. We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If anything were to happen which would cause us to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, requirements imposed by the Investment Company Act, including limitations on our capital structure, ability to transact business with affiliates and ability to compensate key employees, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as currently conducted, impair the agreements and arrangements between and among us, our affiliates and our executive officers and directors, or any combination thereof, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If any of our Programs other than the Flagship Fund, Income Interval Fund or Innovation Fund were required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act, the applicable restrictions could make it impractical for our subsidiaries to continue to provide services to our Programs, which could have an adverse effect on our business.***

Our subsidiaries derive a majority of their revenues from fees they earn for providing services to our Programs. In that regard, if our Programs were required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act, the applicable restrictions could make it impractical for our subsidiaries to continue to provide services to our Programs, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

***We are not subject to the banking regulations of any state or federal regulatory agency.***

We are not subject to the periodic examinations to which commercial banks and other thrift institutions are subject. Consequently, our financing decisions and our decisions regarding establishing loan loss reserves are not subject to periodic review by any governmental agency. Moreover, we are not subject to regulatory oversight relating to our capital, asset quality, management or compliance with laws.

***Recent legislative and regulatory initiatives have imposed restrictions and requirements on financial institutions that could have an adverse effect on our business.***

The financial industry is becoming more highly regulated. There has been, and may continue to be, a related increase in regulatory investigations of the trading and other investment activities of alternative investment funds. Such investigations may impose additional expenses on us, may require the attention of our senior management and may result in fines if we are deemed to have violated any regulations.

***As Internet commerce develops, federal and state governments may adopt new laws to regulate Internet commerce, which may negatively affect our business.***

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal and state governments becomes more likely. Our and the Fundrise Platform's business could be negatively affected by the application of existing laws and regulations or the enactment of new laws applicable to our business. The cost to comply with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, which could negatively impact our Programs. In addition, federal and state governmental or regulatory agencies may decide to impose taxes on services provided over the Internet. These taxes could discourage the use of the Internet as a means of raising capital, which would adversely affect the viability of the Fundrise Platform.

***Laws intended to prohibit money laundering may require us to disclose investor information to regulatory authorities.***

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "PATRIOT Act") requires that financial institutions establish and maintain compliance programs to guard against money laundering activities, and requires the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury ("Treasury") to prescribe regulations in connection with anti-money laundering policies of financial institutions. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN"), an agency of the Treasury, has announced that it is likely that such regulations would subject certain pooled investment vehicles to enact anti-money laundering policies. It is possible that there could be promulgated legislation or regulations that would require us or our service providers to share information with governmental authorities with respect to prospective investors in connection with the establishment of anti-money laundering procedures. Such legislation and/or regulations could require us to implement additional restrictions on the transfer of our shares of Class B Common Stock to comply with such legislation and/or regulations. We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of prospective stockholders and the source of the payment of subscription monies, or as is necessary to comply with any customer identification programs required by FinCEN and/or the SEC. In the event of delay or failure by a prospective stockholder to produce any information required for verification purposes, an application for, or transfer of, our shares of Class B Common Stock may be refused.

**Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest**

***There are conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates.***

All of the agreements and arrangements between us and our affiliates, including those relating to fees and compensation, are not the result of arm's length negotiations. Rather, such arrangements are determined by our executive officers based on industry standards and expectations of what our executive officers would be able to negotiate with a third party on an arm's length basis. Some of the conflicts inherent in transactions with our affiliates, and the limitations on such parties adopted to address these conflicts, are described below. We will attempt to balance our interests with those of our affiliates. However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than us, these actions could have negative impact on financial performance.

***The interests of our executive officers, directors and affiliates may conflict with our interests.***

We may have conflicts of interests with our executive officers, directors and affiliates. This risk is increased by the involvement of Benjamin Miller, who is our Chief Executive Officer and who participates, or expects to participate, directly or indirectly in offering by us and our affiliates, as well as in the management of our Programs. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

· our executive officers, directors and/or our affiliates may make
 investments in real estate assets for their own respective accounts, whether or not competitive with our business;

· our executive officers, directors and/or our affiliates will not
 be required to disgorge any profits or fees or other compensation they may receive from any other business they own separately from
 us, and you will not be entitled to receive or share in any of the profits return fees or compensation from such businesses;

· our executive officers, directors and/or our affiliates are not
 required to devote all of their time and efforts to our affairs; and

· we experience conflicts of interests with certain of our directors,
 officers and affiliates from time to time with regard to any of our investments, transactions and agreements in which they hold a
 direct or indirect pecuniary interest.

We have adopted guidelines relating to director conflicts of interests and policies relating to related-party transactions. However, we cannot assure you that conflicts of interest, such as those listed above, will not result in claims by investors, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

***As we establish additional Programs in the future, there may be conflicts of interests among the various Programs, which may result in opportunities that would benefit some Programs over others. Our failure to adequately address such conflicts of interest could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.***

We have in the past, and expect to continue in the future, to establish and sponsor additional Sponsored Program offerings, and to continue to offer investment opportunities primarily through the Fundrise Platform, including offerings that will acquire or invest in commercial real estate equity investments, commercial real estate loans, and other select real estate-related assets. Some of our Sponsored Programs have overlapping investment objectives, and potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to our decisions regarding how to allocate investment opportunities among those Programs. The manager of our Sponsored Programs has adopted an investment allocation policy that governs the allocation of investment opportunities among our Programs. To the extent an investment opportunity is appropriate for one of our Sponsored Programs, the manager of our Sponsored Programs will adhere to its investment allocation policy in order to determine to which Sponsored Program to allocate the opportunity. If a sale, financing, investment or other business opportunity would be suitable for more than one Sponsored Program, the manager's investment committee will allocate it according to the policies and procedures adopted by the manager. Any allocation of this type may involve the consideration of a number of factors that the manager's investment committee determines to be relevant. Although the manager's investment committee will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, any of our Sponsored Programs could be adversely affected to the extent investment opportunities are allocated to other Sponsored Programs. There is no guarantee that the manager's investment committee will make the correct decision in such allocation.

Except under any policies that may be adopted by us or the manager in the future, no Sponsored Program will have any duty, responsibility or obligation to refrain from:

· engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business
 as any other Sponsored Program;

· doing business with any potential or actual tenant, lender, purchaser,
 supplier, customer or competitor of any Sponsored Program;

· engaging in, or refraining from, any other activities whatsoever
 relating to any of the potential or actual tenants, lenders, purchasers, suppliers or customers of any Sponsored Program;

· establishing material commercial relationships with another Sponsored Program;
 or

· making operational and financial decisions that could be considered to be detrimental to another Sponsored Program.

In addition, any decisions by our us or our affiliates to renew, extend, modify or terminate an agreement or arrangement, or enter into similar agreements or arrangements in the future, may benefit one Program more than another Program or limit or impair the ability of any Program to pursue business opportunities. In addition, third parties may require as a condition to their arrangements or agreements with or related to any one particular Program that such arrangements or agreements include or not include another Program, as the case may be. Any of these decisions may benefit one Program more than another Program.

Potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest, such as those described above, could give rise to investor or stockholder dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. Adequately addressing conflicts of interest is complex and difficult and we could suffer significant reputational harm if we fail, or appear to fail, to adequately address potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest. This could result in a loss of assets under management and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

***The conflicts of interest policies we have adopted may not adequately address all of the conflicts of interest that may arise with respect to our activities and are subject to change or suspension.***

In order to avoid any actual or perceived conflicts of interest, such as those described above, we have adopted conflicts of interest policies to specifically address some of the conflicts relating to our activities. There is no assurance that these policies will be adequate to address all of the conflicts that may arise or will address such conflicts in a manner that is favorable to us. Our board of directors may modify, suspend or rescind such policies, including any resolution implementing the provisions of such policies, in each case, without a vote of our stockholders.

· expected rates of return provided to investors;

· our ability to source, originate and service our loans and other assets, and the quality and performance of these

 or the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act");

· changes in business conditions and the market value of our and our Sponsored Programs' assets,
 including changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, operator or borrower defaults or bankruptcy, and generally the increased risk
 of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;

· our ability to implement effective conflicts of interest policies and procedures among the various real estate investment opportunities
 sponsored by the Company;

· our ability of our Sponsored Programs to access sources of liquidity when we have the need to fund redemptions of common shares
 in excess of the proceeds from the sales of our common shares in our offerings and the consequential risk that we may not have the
 resources to satisfy redemption requests;

· our compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the
 "Advisers Act"), the Investment Company Act and other laws; and

· changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

· the other risks identified in this offering circular including, without limitation, those under the
 headings "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
 and "Business."

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this offering circular. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this offering circular and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this offering circular will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this offering circular, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this offering circular, including, without limitation, the risks described under "Risk Factors," the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this offering circular will be achieved.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of Class B Common Stock in this offering will be approximately $19.4 million, based upon (i) the sale of 1,298,000 shares of Class B Common Stock being offered under this offering circular at an offering price of $15.15 per share and (ii) an estimate of $300,000 offering expenses payable by us being deducted from the gross proceeds. Estimated expenses include all expenses incurred from the commencement of this offering through the expected termination of this offering in 2026, when we expect to file a new offering statement on Form 1-A. We previously raised approximately $169.5 million in our prior offerings.

The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility. As of the date of this offering circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Currently, we intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Other than the payment of officers' salaries, none of the proceeds of this offering will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to our or our subsidiaries' officers or directors.

Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to us to acquire businesses, products, services or assets. We do not, however, have agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions at this time. Further, a portion of the net proceeds may be used to fund limited redemptions or share repurchases in exceptional circumstances, including, without limitation, personal conduct redemptions. Accordingly, our management will have discretion in the application of the net proceeds to us from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the use of these net proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds to us as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds to us in short-term and long-term interest-bearing obligations, including government and investment-grade debt securities and money market funds. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return.

**DIVIDEND POLICY AND DIVIDENDS**

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, including the Class B Common Stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any further determination to pay dividends on our capital stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.

**DILUTION**

If you invest in our Class B Common Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our Class B Common Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class B Common Stock immediately after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per share offering price of our Class B Common Stock is substantially in excess of the pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to the existing equity holders. Net tangible book value represents net book equity attributable to equity holders of the Company excluding intangible assets. Note, the net tangible book value does not include any assets or liabilities attributable to consolidated but non-controlling interests.

Our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2022, plus subsequent offering proceeds through January 26, 2023, was approximately $67.9 million, or approximately $1.53 per share of our Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. Pro forma net tangible book value represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents pro forma net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

The following table illustrates the substantial and immediate dilution per share of Class B Common Stock to a purchaser in this offering, assuming issuance of an additional 1,298,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in this offering:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Net Offering Proceeds from this offering is net of estimated offering expenses of $300,000. Estimated expenses include all expenses incurred from the commencement of this offering through the expected termination of this offering in 2026, when we expect to file a new offering statement on Form 1-A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Includes proceeds raised from the offering of 9,966,425 shares pursuant to Regulation A and 23,668 shares pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D at an average share price of $6.64 in the Company's initial offering, and proceeds raised from the offering of 8,720,431 shares pursuant to Regulation A and 611,887 shares pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D at an average share price of $11.83 in the Company's previous offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Net tangible book value is based on the net tangible equity attributable to equity holders of the Company as of June 30, 2022, in addition to offering proceeds of $14,135,617 received after June 30, 2022. In the instance upon dissolution/sale of the Company, the value of assets and liabilities attributable to non-controlling interests would be excluded from the value of the Company. Thus, assets and liabilities attributable to non-controlling interests are excluded from the Company's net tangible book value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Assumes conversion of all issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Class A Common Stock, and vesting of all issued restricted Class A Common Stock grants.

The following table sets forth, as of January 26, 2023, on the same pro forma basis as above, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchased from us (net of redemptions), the total consideration paid, or to be paid, and the average price per share paid, or to be paid, by existing stockholders and by the new investors, using the prior offering results, and assuming the remaining 1,298,000 shares being offered pursuant to this Offering Circular are issued at $15.15 per share, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us:

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Assumes conversion of all issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Class A Common Stock.

(2) As of January 26, 2023, 2,453,935 shares have been authorized and issued, and are fully vested, and 1,959 options have been exercised. Class A Common Stock Issued previously included 432,965 forfeited shares, these are no longer included in the total Class A Common Stock Issued, as it is unlikely that we will reissue those shares under our Stock Plan in the foreseeable future. 1,912,900 shares were issued for an effective cash price of $0.1105 per share. 174,000 shares were issued for an effective cash price of $0.19 per share. 797,500 were issued for an effective cash price of $0.29 per share. 2,500 shares were issued for an effective cash price of $5.50 per share. 459 options were exercised for $5.50 per share and 1,500 options were exercised for $5.25 per share.

(3) Common shares issued without cash payment includes 10,000,000 Class F shares to the co-founders for the contribution of Fundrise LLC, Popularise LLC, Fundrise Servicing LLC, and other assets of the Company.

(4) Based on shares issued previously, and assuming the 1,298,000 additional shares being offered pursuant to this offering circular are issued at $15.15 per share, the Class B weighted average per share will be $9.53.

(5) Based on total Common and Preferred shares issued previously, and assuming the 1,298,000 additional Class B shares being offered pursuant to this offering circular are issued at $15.15 per share, the weighted average per share will be $4.93.

The table above does not give effect to shares of our Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options that we expect to grant under our stock-based compensation plans after the time of this offering. To the extent shares of our Class A Common Stock are issued pursuant to the Company's 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, there will be further dilution to new investors.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**BUSINESS**

Rise Companies is a financial technology company that is on a mission to build a better financial system for the individual. We develop software to consume ever more of the value chain of the private investment industry. This pattern is an old story in other industries, but private financial markets have managed to escape true disruption to date. While today we remain focused on how to redefine the process of investing in real estate, we've always thought about our mission as bigger than just real estate investment, which is why we are expanding our scope with the newly launched Fundrise Innovation Fund. We are well on our way to democratizing and reimagining private markets altogether.

The public markets are where the vast majority of individuals invest and, not coincidentally, where there has been a significant amount of technology penetration and disruption. The raucous trading pit has been replaced by silent machines. The internet and apps drove the cost to trade stocks down to zero. Public company data has never been so transparent and readily available. The promise of an efficient market is truer than ever.

On the other hand, private markets resemble the public markets of more than a half century ago. Transactions are performed manually by salespeople. Data is opaque and fragmented. Access is fundamentally barred to individuals. Sophisticated investors capture excess alpha from highly inefficient markets.

In short, the private markets are ripe for reinvention.

**Rise Companies - Today**

We view the financial system as being organized into three key functions: aggregation, allocation (as a fund manager), and operations.

![](tm233741d1img004.jpg)

Fundrise started with aggregation because 'those who write the checks, make the decisions.' In other words, by freeing control of the capital from traditional institutions, we have been able to build a new system without institutional encumbrance – from the resistance to change by those who fear career risk.

We are systematically replacing each step with software. Over time, we are building a new set of rails of the private investment industry.

To paraphrase the saying, how does software eat finance? One bite at a time.

Here is a typical example<sup>(1)</sup> of how the private financial system is organized in real estate:

![](tm233741d1img005.jpg)

<sup>(1)</sup> All company names, logos and brands are property of their respective owners. All company, product and service names and logos used in this document are general examples used for informational purposes only. Use of these names, logos and brands does not imply endorsement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Aggregation**: Fundrise owns and operates a leading alternative asset investment platform, located at <u>www.fundrise.com</u> and via our iOS or Android mobile applications (the "Fundrise Platform") which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Allows individuals to invest in what we believe is both a superior and simpler investing experience, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Frictionless investment transaction and management that is constantly evolving to be the most simple, transparent, and user-friendly
 experience in finance

▪ Ultra-low costs and zero upfront fees, eliminating high-fee broker-dealers and other expenses of the investment process usually
 involving many intermediaries

▪ Payment processing, including deep validation layers for anti-fraud, non-sufficient funds, and identity, processed 2.5 million
 ACH transactions in 2021 and 3.7 million as of December 31, 2022

▪ Real-time reporting of return calculations performed daily for each client account via ETL software layer, currently storing
 over 29.3 billion data points; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Enables our investors to earn returns from real estate and other alternative asset classes that have generally been unavailable to many individual investors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Allocation**: Fundrise has created an investment and fund management platform that leverages automated processes and reporting
 to reap the benefits of a lower cost structure of a back-of-house built with APIs and data stores rather than PDFs and Excel that
 allows for us to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Remove the double promote (where real estate and alternative fund sponsors receive a share of the profits in the distribution
 waterfall) common with alternative asset investments

o Systematize the back-of-house of accounting, tax, operations and fund operations, including software generating over a million
 1099s and K-1s at zero cost to the investor; and

o Maintain 54 million unique shareholding records, including daily automated transfer agent integration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Operations**: Fundrise has developed operating platforms that leverage software to lower the operating cost and improve
 the selection, management, and performance of investments by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Building "software-first" solutions to manage deal origination and investment data capture: and

o Developing a systems-based approach to asset management and operations that systematically updates and replaces the data input and analysis with our proprietary software

When an individual invests through the Fundrise Platform, they are investing into private market assets previously outside the reach of the everyday individuals. This is, of course, as opposed to the public markets (such as publicly traded stocks, ETFs, etc.). Increasingly companies are not entering the public markets until later and later, if at all. The lifecycle of growth companies and assets is increasingly occurring in private markets. See this example<sup>(2)</sup>.

![](tm233741d1img006.jpg)

<sup>(2)</sup> The above general expected growth trend is only to illustrate the general expectations of institutional investors when making their investment analyses and does not reflect actual or expected growth of investments made with our Sponsored Programs. All company names, logos and brands are property of their respective owners. All company, product and service names and logos used in this document are general examples used for informational purposes only. Use of these names, logos and brands does not imply endorsement.

And much like trying to invest in Snowflake, Google, or Uber before they went public, access to private market (i.e. "early stage") investments is restricted -- only available to those who go through a series of institutional channels controlled by intermediaries and gatekeepers, all of whom charge hefty tolls in the form of performance fees, sales commissions, and other transaction costs.

In fact, unless you happen to be old enough to have a pension, most investors simply do not have any feasible way to access the private markets and as a result are limited to investing exclusively in publicly traded stocks.

This matters because we believe that a more diversified portfolio generally results in a better risk-adjusted return. Moreover, when they invest in a company (or real estate asset) once it is in the public markets, they are far more often than not paying a higher price, *i.e.*, a premium, vs. those who have the ability to buy into the asset while it is still private.

This idea of both disrupting and integrating the "private equity value chain" lies at the very heart of the Fundrise Platform.

**Relevant Industry Background**

We believe the trends in the traditional real estate capital markets have created an opportunity for our online, direct investment model to facilitate more efficient deployment of capital and achieve both lower-cost of financing for real estate operators and more attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors in our Programs.

·  ***Private Equity Funds and Institutional Investors Control the Capital Markets*** . Since the late 1980s, private equity funds and other institutional investors have increasingly become
 a larger and larger percentage of the commercial real estate capital markets. Because of high fixed costs related to underwriting
 and servicing, these funds focus primarily on larger commercial real estate assets with total capitalization in the range of $50
 million to $100 million.

Moreover, one of the responses to the 2008 recession, according to Preqin Global Private Equity Report, has been growth in the average size of investment funds, whereby institutional investors have been investing more of their capital with fund managers that have extensive track records, and are therefore, by nature, raising much larger funds. In 2014, funds of a size equivalent to $1.5 billion or more accounted for 58% of all private equity capital raised, while first-time managers only accounted for 7% of capital raised. The average fund size hit a record of greater than $600 million. Larger funds consequently focus on larger deals in order to deploy their capital fully and efficiently.

·  ***Control by Institutional Funds Creates Inefficiencies and Distortions in Commercial Real Estate Markets*** . We believe that institutional dominance of the commercial real estate capital
 markets have created several key inefficiencies and distortions:

1) Individual investors lack the size and market power to access quality real estate investments and therefore must rely on accessing investments through institutional channels. Over time, the control and market-making power enjoyed by traditional institutional players has allowed them to impose excessively large fees, overhead, and profit sharing interests. The result is the individual investor receiving a disproportionately small share of profits generated by the underlying real estate assets.

2) Institutional funds operate a model that is heavily dependent on manual processes. This results in high overhead and fixed costs. As a result, institutional funds tend to focus on large transactions in an effort to generate maximum profits relative to a fixed amount of work. This focus on only large transactions distorts the natural demand for these assets, increasing competition, and driving down returns. This further results in the individual, non-institutional investors receiving a lower relative risk-adjusted return.

·  ***Retail investors have limited opportunity to invest in private real estate without paying a heavy fee load.*** The non-traded REIT industry has seen enormous growth in the past 5 years,
 raising up to $15 billion a year, according to the Investment Program Association. This success was achieved despite an outdated
 distribution model dominated by armies of brokers (which are often affiliated with the non-traded REIT raising capital) that charge
 up-front fee loads of as much as 15% to 20% on each investment – some of the highest loads across the entire financial industry.
 We believe that a lower cost alternative, such as the Programs we sponsor, available through a convenient and direct online platform,
 would offer compelling competition in the marketplace.

**Our Solution**

We own and operate the Fundrise Platform, a leading web-based and mobile alternative asset investment platform located at *www.fundrise.com*. We believe technology-powered investment management is the future of the real estate industry and other alternative asset classes. Enabled by our proprietary technology, we leverage data and technology to lower the operating cost and improve the performance of our investments. Through a vertically integrated infrastructure that automates the traditional processes of the real estate investment business, the Company aggregates thousands of individuals from across the country to create the scale of an institutional investor on a single digital backbone – thereby lowering the marginal cost of each investor to nearly zero. Individuals can invest through the Fundrise Platform at ultra-low costs for what we believe is a superior web-based and mobile experience. Investors use the Fundrise Platform to have the ability to earn returns from real estate and other alternative asset classes that have generally been closed to many investors.

We generate the majority of our revenues from (i) origination and acquisition fees paid by real estate operators and joint-ventures in connection with debt and equity investment originations, (ii) asset management fees from our Programs, and (iii) advisory fees from investors in our Programs.

Since 2012, when we sponsored our first online investment, through December 31, 2022, we have originated over $3.5 billion of assets and our investors have earned $224 million in net dividends. As of December 31, 2022, the Sponsored Programs have total AUM of $3.2 billion with over 387,000 active investor accounts and 1,800,000 active users on the Fundrise Platform.

We have yet to generate any profits from our operations and are incurring net losses, and do not expect to generate any profits until the Sponsored Programs' assets under management (AUM) is substantially larger.

Excluding whole loan co-investors and real estate debt and equity originated but not fully drawn down, the average amount invested in the Sponsored Programs was over $8,200 per unique investor as of December 31, 2022.

In April 2014, at the time of our Series A financing round, the Company priced its stock in an arms-length transaction at a $2.18 a share, and has since experienced the following comparative growth metrics (all figures in thousands except Real Estate Transactions, Employees and Growth percentages):

---

\*Active Investors represents the approximate total number of unique investors less the approximate number of investors who were no longer invested in any of the programs as of such date.

\*\*We began offering shares of Class B Common Stock through our internet Public Offering (iPO) in February 2017.

We believe we are participating in and driving the third wave of a paradigm shift in the financial industry similar to the invention of and move to online brokerages and online payment systems that occurred in the late 1990s and 2000s, and the "marketplace lending" and automated registered investment advisor movements in the 2000s and 2010s.

We believe that the first wave of this paradigm was from physical brokerages to online brokerages, such as E\*TRADE Financial Corp., TD Ameritrade Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp. We believe the second wave of this paradigm shift is represented by technology-driven asset management companies such automated registered investment advisors, such as Wealthfront Inc. and Betterment, LLC. However, unlike online brokerage platforms, online payment processors, marketplace lending platforms, or automated registered investment advisors, we are focused on sponsoring and directly offering to investors (without the costs associated with such intermediaries), alternative investments.

Our end-to-end integrated technology platform transforms the real estate origination, underwriting, funding, and servicing processes; replacing expensive sales and management teams with online and mobile applications, implementing data driven decision-making, and automating transactions through payment processing APIs (application programming interfaces). Through our direct-to-the-investor investment platform, we allow an individual investor to invest in the value (price per square foot) and yields available in the private real estate market.

Simultaneously, the technology platform allows for the seamless purchase of interests in private real estate investments, performance tracking and reporting through a personalized dashboard, and automated account management and maintenance, including financial updates and tax reporting. This allows us to service thousands of investors at a fraction of the cost of conventional, offline management typical in real estate.

Because the entire system is built on an API-based technology platform and utilizes data driven analysis and decision-making, the model is continuously improving and increasing in efficiency as the volume of data points increase exponentially and our automated processes undergo constant optimization.

**Benefits to Program Investors**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Public Access to a New Asset Class: Private Real Estate*. Anyone can now invest in private
 real estate through the Fundrise Platform. The asset class has historically been funded and held by financial institutions or large
 institutional investors. The vast majority of individuals have been barred or largely underserved. By building a direct to consumer
 model and leveraging the scale of the Internet, individual investors can get access to a primary offering of real estate investments
 at virtually the same price and terms that institutional investors traditionally enjoy.

· *Lower Costs Drive Higher Returns for Our Program Investors.* Through the Fundrise Platform, we reduce upfront fees
 and costs by up to 90% when compared to publicly traded REITs and public non-traded REITs. Through the Fundrise Platform, we have
 eliminated the high-fee broker-dealer and investment banker, while removing the 20% promotes common with real estate private equity. Our
 direct online investment model allows us, through our Sponsored Programs, to more efficiently raise capital than conventional institutional
 capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Radical Accountability*. We strive to always place our Program investors first, and provide
 them with the best possible investor experience. To this end, we have adopted a low-fee model similar to the Vanguard
 investment philosophy, where costs are kept to a strict minimum. For example, with respect to the Income eREIT<sup>®</sup>,
 which is the first eREIT<sup>®</sup> we sponsored, our wholly-owned affiliated manager, Fundrise Advisors, LLC, agreed to
 waive its asset management fees until December 31, 2017 if the Income eREIT<sup>®</sup> did not achieve an annual,
 non-compounded return equal to 15%. We consider this investor-centric approach a form of radical investment accountability.

· *Customer Experience/Convenience.* We are obsessed with our Sponsored Program investors. Our team provides
 high tech, personalized support to investors in our Sponsored Programs. Our team answers questions and provides assistance throughout
 the investment process and the life of the investment, without ever resorting to high-pressure, active selling efforts that often
 lead to abuse by traditional distribution channels.

**eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs Share Redemption Program**

Our eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Programs have adopted a redemption plan whereby shareholders may have one outstanding redemption request at any given time and request that the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Program redeem up to the lesser of 5,000 shares or $50,000 worth of shares per each redemption request. Based on an assessment of the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Program's liquid resources and redemption requests, the eDirect<sup>TM</sup> Program's Manager, Fundrise Advisors, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, has the authority, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions by each shareholder during any month or quarter, as applicable, including if the Manager deems such action to be in the best interest of the shareholders as a whole.

Except in the case of exceptional redemptions, the effective redemption price will be calculated based on a declining penalty to the redemption price in effect at the time of the redemption request, rounded down to the nearest cent. The redemption price will be equal to (i) the NAV per share for our common shares in effect at the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption request is made, **<u>reduced by</u>** (ii) the aggregate sum of NAV Distributions, if any, declared (whether paid or unpaid) for such quarter. "***NAV Distributions***" are distributions that, in the sole discretion of the Manager, reduce the Company's NAV (including, for example, distributions arising from the proceeds of the sale of one or more of our properties where such proceeds are not reinvested in other properties). The redemption price will not, however, be reduced by the aggregate sum of other distributions, if any, that are not-NAV Distributions that have been (i) paid with respect to such shares prior to the date of the redemption request or (ii) declared but unpaid on such shares with record dates during the period between the redemption request date and the redemption date (*i.e.*, the last day of the applicable quarter).

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Holding Period from Date of Settlement** | **Effective Redemption <br> Price**<br> **(as percentage of per <br> share**<br> **redemption price) <sup>(1)</sup>** |
| Settlement date to 5 years | 99.0%<sup>(2)</sup> |
| More than 5 years | 100.0%<sup>(3)</sup> |
| Exceptional redemptions | 100.0%<sup>(4)</sup> |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Effective Redemption Price will be the per share NAV for our common shares as of the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption request is made and (i) reduced by any NAV Distributions during such quarter and (ii) rounded down to the nearest $0.01.

(2) For shares held less than five (5) years, the Effective Redemption Price includes the fixed 1% penalty to the NAV for our common shares in effect at the time of the redemption request.

(3) For shares held at least five (5) years, the Effective Redemption Price does not include any penalty to the NAV for our common shares in effect at the time of the redemption request.

(4) For exceptional redemptions, the Effective Redemption Price does not include any penalty to the per share price for our common shares in effect at the time of the redemption request.

Given the unprecedented level of disruption and ongoing uncertainty caused by the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in an effort to protect the interests of existing shareholders of the Sponsored Programs, processing and payment of redemptions under each Sponsored Program's redemption plan was suspended until further notice effective as of March 31, 2020. Processing and payment of redemptions resumed under each Sponsored Program's redemption plan as of June 30, 2020.

**Benefits to Real Estate Operators**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Real Estate Operators are Embracing Technology*. Real estate operators are increasingly using
 online services to manage their operations – to market and lease space, to search for capital, to gather and analyze asset
 management data. We believe real estate operators will come to expect a technology-driven capital source.

· *Access to Reasonably Priced Capital.* Our innovative online, direct investment model and
 business process automation enable us to offer real estate operators, who may be borrowers or joint venture partners, a lower cost
 of capital than typically demanded by hedge funds or private equity. As a result of eliminating traditional intermediaries and digitizing
 the traditional offline investment infrastructure, through the Fundrise Platform, we can compete with a generally lower cost of capital
 when compared to traditional capital sources.

· *Superior Online Experience.* Our goal is to form long-term relationships with real estate
 operators, facilitating our technology platform and growing network effect of investors to provide an array of financial solutions
 that meet the industry's evolving needs over time.

· *The Digital Footprint of Real Estate is Expanding*. There is a vast amount of real-time digital
 data about real estate properties that can be used to generate valuable insights that help better assess the creditworthiness and
 growth potential of an investment.

· *Small Real Estate Operators are not Adequately Served by Traditional Capital*. In our experience, the majority of institutional investors will not write checks less than $5 million to $10 million,
 and most prefer to invest $20 million to $50 million per deal. Due to their manual processes and expensive overhead, traditional
 institutional investors require larger deals to amortize their costs and generate greater fees and back-end carried interests. Through
 the Fundrise Platform, we are able to utilize a computerized, rules-based engine for filtering deal flow, removing the institutional
 bias associated with reviewing applications. We believe traditional investment funds face a number of challenges and limitations
 that make it difficult to address the capital needs of small to medium sized real estate operators. The inefficiency and fragmentation of the small balance commercial
 and multifamily ("SBCM") market has resulted in a relatively lower pricing for SBCM properties as compared to core institutional
 assets. As of year-end 2017, there was the largest spread in prices between the Core Commercial CPPI component (an index created
 by Moody's and Real Capital Analytics that tracks the price of large-scale, institutional-sized commercial real estate) and

 2008 financial collapse.

We believe, over time, real estate capital sourcing will move online to a digital discovery and data-driven due diligence process due to our superior technology process and platform.

**Our Competitive Strengths**

We believe the following competitive strengths differentiate us and serve as barriers for others seeking to enter our market:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *First Mover Advantage.* We have been largely credited as being one of the first, if not the first, online real estate
 investment platforms, and were the first to offer real estate investments online through Regulation A, with our first sponsored offering
 being declared qualified on June 19, 2012, three years to the day before the revisions to Regulation A mandated by the JOBS
 Act became effective. In 2015, we reinvented the online real estate investment industry with the launch of our proprietary eREIT<sup>®</sup> investment
 model, opening up online direct real estate investing to anyone in the United States. Since our inception, we have been a pioneer,
 innovator and thought leader in the real estate finance industry. We believe that our brand, reputation and scale has continuously
 allowed us to attract both a greater volume of new investors as well as the top real estate operators, which in turns leverages a
 lower operating cost structure, resulting in a snowball effect in our ability to consistently provide both better risk-adjusted returns
 and attractively priced flexible financing capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *End-to-End Integrated Technology Platform*. We built a single, fully integrated end-to-end
 web platform specifically designed to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency in the commercial real estate capital markets.
 Our Fundrise Platform touches every aspect of the property's lifecycle, including deal origination, underwriting, funding,
 asset management and investor servicing. This allows us to automate and streamline the traditionally separate processes into a single
 seamless model.

· *Significant Scale*. We believe we have the largest and fastest growing user base of investors
 in the industry. This ever-growing base of investors managed across the same software infrastructure allows us to constantly improve
 overall efficiency and performance. These benefits have generated a network effect, whereby the current size of the user base of
 the Fundrise Platform accelerates the growth of the user base, in our ability to provide market-leading products and satisfied members,
 which in turn help drive increased investment dollars as well as new first-time investors.

· *Proprietary Underwriting and Analytics Engine*. Our proprietary underwriting process and digital
 data backbone provide us an efficient system to assess the risk and creditworthiness of each real estate investment opportunity.
 Our internal database driven system is constantly collecting new data points. As our data set continues to expand with each new investment
 that is submitted for review and each ongoing monthly and quarterly detailed asset level report received, our internal infrastructure
 grows and analytical capabilities improve.

· *Diversified Acquisition Channels*. We have built a variety of online digital acquisition channels
 including social platforms, native content, content marketing, remarketing, and channel partnerships to directly acquire new investors
 online. The channels capitalize both on brand awareness and the low cost of various online distribution models to reduce our costs
 to acquire new investors without the need to utilize traditional sales networks and advertising.

· *Diversified Products Offering*. We sponsor a suite of commercial real estate investments, including,
 currently, five equity eREITs<sup>®</sup>, one balanced eREIT<sup>®</sup>, and three geographic eREITs<sup>®</sup> (East
 Coast, West Coast and Midland), two closed-end management investment companies operated as interval funds, and one closed-end management
 investment company operated as a tender offer fund. As of December 31, 2022, we also sponsor an investment focused on the development
 of for-sale housing and diversified by location in our eFund<sup>TM</sup> program. Our Opportunity Fund originates,
 invests in, and manages a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, joint venture equity investments, and other real estate-related
 assets, particularly with a focus on multifamily rental units and office buildings located in Opportunity Zones. Our Credit Fund originates, acquires and structures real estate loans, including senior mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, and
mezzanine loans, particularly with a focus on the multifamily and single-family rental markets. Our Flagship
 Fund and Income Interval Fund act as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies that are operated as interval
 funds. Our Innovation Fund acts as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as a tender offer
 fund. This diversity provides us with multiple, scalable investment products, long-term capital commitments and access to flexible
 funding for growth.

· *Existing Industry Players Not Technology Integrated*. Most commercial real estate operators
 and capital sources use limited technology other than Microsoft Excel, Argus, and third-party property management software. We believe
 there is an opportunity to drive better performance with an end-to-end integrated technology-driven real estate investment company.

· *Technology Limitations of Existing Real Estate Companies*. Many traditional real estate companies
 use legacy or third-party systems that are difficult to integrate or adapt to the shifting needs of small businesses. Real estate
 companies have limited their use of algorithms and big data analysis. Although we invest substantial resources in our underwriting,
 we are increasingly incorporating technology-driven processes. As a hybrid technology and real estate company, we believe we are
 well suited to develop products that increase the quality and speed of our underwriting, while lowering costs.

· *Organizational and Structural Overhead Challenges*. The costly combination of sales networks and in-house originators and
 manually intensive underwriting procedures makes it difficult for traditional lenders to efficiently serve small to medium sized
 real estate operators. We believe that our increasingly automated process will continue to drive down our operational costs, in order
 to achieve better returns for investors and better pricing for real estate operators

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Constant Consistent Focus on the Individual Investor*. Since inception, we have always been
 passionate about providing individual investors best in class service, regardless of their net worth. We have developed significant
 expertise over our ten-year operating history of focusing exclusively on assessing and delivering investments to individuals. We
 believe this passion, constant focus, and experience offering real estate investments to individuals through a digital medium provides
 us with an expertise that is unique in the market.

· *Management Experience*. We believe that our management has significantly more experience in the critical areas of our industry
 (real estate, finance, securities, and technology) than any of our competitors. Collectively, our senior management has spent over
 40 years in the real estate industry. In addition, our technology group has been able to build our entire proprietary web platform
 without outsourcing any software development. As of December 31, 2022, management has successfully sponsored, publicly filed
 and qualified twenty-one (21) offerings under Regulation A (including what we believe to be the first two Regulation A offerings
 to raise what was then the maximum of $50 million in any 12-month period), not including this Regulation A offering for Rise, over
 the past six years – we are not aware of any company that has sponsored more than two Regulation A offerings during this time
 period or in the history of Regulation A. Further, during 2021, management successfully launched a novel Fundrise Real Estate Interval
 Fund, LLC ("Flagship Fund") registered under the Investment Company Act, and then, in 2022, subsequently launched the
 Income Interval Fund and the Innovation Fund, a second and third Program registered under the Investment Company Act, signaling a
 new stage of uninhibited growth for the Company given the unlimited offering capacity provided for under the Investment Company Act.
 We believe this significant breadth of experience provides us with the ability to continue to lead our industry and create innovative
 products and solutions ahead of our competitors.

**Our Real Estate Investment and Asset Management Technology Platform**

We own and operate, via a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, the Fundrise Platform, which allows investors opportunities in alternative investments that have been historically difficult to access for non-accredited investors.

We are an online alternative asset investment company. We use industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through our real estate, financial fund management. As a specialized asset manager, we seek to develop alternative investment vehicles for external investors, for which we provide asset management services, typically under long-term management arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, our sponsored investment vehicles.

We limit our investment vehicle development and management services to asset classes where we have specific expertise. We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our investment vehicles. In our real estate operations on behalf of our Programs, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management within the multifamily, industrial, and single family rental segments.

**Geographic Scope**

We operate nationally, with our Programs collectively, as of December 31, 2022, having real estate investments in 21 states and Washington D.C., with investors in our Programs collectively from all 50 states and Washington D.C.

**Description of Property**

Our principal office is located at 11 Dupont Circle NW, 9<sup>th</sup> Floor, Washington, DC 20036, which we lease. Other than real estate assets that are part of our various Sponsored Programs, we do not own any real estate. We believe that our current office space is suitable and adequate for the conducting of our in-person business, but may need to relocate offices in the future in the event that we hire additional employees.

Rise is a remote-first work environment. We consider this to provide a sizeable advantage both when it comes to hiring talent, which is no longer limited to one metropolitan area, as well as in regard to our operations, which are efficiently run entirely virtually. As of December 31, 2022, the vast majority of Rise employees opted for a remote working environment.

**Our Business and the Investment Company Act**

Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act provides that an investment company is any issuer which: (A) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; (B) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type; or (C) owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. As used in Section 3(a), "investment securities" includes all securities except U.S. government securities; securities issued by employees' securities companies; and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries of the owner which are not investment companies, and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company in Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

We believe that we are engaged primarily in the business of providing asset management services and not in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We do not issue face-amount certificates of the installment type. We hold ourselves out as an asset manager and do not propose to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Accordingly, we do not believe we meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1)(A) and 3(a)(1)(B) of the Investment Company Act. We also believe we do not meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. Substantially all of our assets are equity interests in certain wholly-owned subsidiaries which themselves do not meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. We also currently and in the future may hold investment securities but we will monitor our holdings to ensure that the value of such investment securities will not exceed 40% of the total value of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Similarly, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries currently and may in the future hold investment securities. We will also monitor the holdings of those wholly-owned subsidiaries to ensure that the value of each subsidiary's investment securities will not exceed 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

The Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operation of investment companies. Among other things, the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, generally prohibit the issuance of options and impose certain governance requirements. We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If anything were to happen which would cause us to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, requirements imposed by the Investment Company Act, including limitations on our capital structure, ability to transact business with affiliates and ability to compensate key employees, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as currently conducted, impair the agreements and arrangements between and among us, our affiliates and our executive officers and directors, or any combination thereof, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our subsidiaries derive a majority of their revenues from fees they earn for providing services to our Programs. Our Programs make equity and debt investments in diversified portfolios of commercial real estate and real estate-related assets (i) directly, (ii) through wholly-owned subsidiaries, (iii) through majority-owned joint venture subsidiaries, and, (iv) to a lesser extent, through minority-owned joint venture subsidiaries which may be investment securities. Three of our Programs are subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940: Flagship Fund, Income Interval Fund, and Innovation Fund ("40-Act Funds"). We take the position that our remaining Programs are not investment companies because they do not meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. We monitor the holdings of each of our remaining Programs to ensure that the value of its investment securities will not exceed 40% of the value of the total assets of the Program (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

Certain of our eDirect Programs', Credit Fund's, and oFund's subsidiaries may meet the definition of investment company as used in Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, however, they may rely on the exclusion provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act is designed for entities "primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate." The Staff in the Division of Investment Management of the SEC takes the position that this exclusion generally requires that at least 55% of the entity's assets on an unconsolidated basis consist of qualifying real estate assets and at least 80% of the entity's assets consist of qualifying real estate assets or real estate-related assets. These requirements limit the assets those subsidiaries can own and the timing of sales and purchases of those assets. Although we and our affiliates intend to monitor the assets of our eDirect Programs', Credit Fund's, and oFund's subsidiaries regularly, there can be no assurance that our eDirect Programs', Credit Fund's, and oFund's subsidiaries will be able to maintain their exclusion from registration. In that regard, if our eDirect Programs, Credit Fund, or oFund were required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act, the applicable restrictions could make it impractical for our subsidiaries to continue to provide services to our eDirect Programs, Credit Fund, or oFund, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

**Election of Directors**

Our board of directors is comprised of five (5) members. The holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock are entitled to elect two directors at any election of directors. So long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect one director at any election of directors. The remaining director is elected by holders of Series A Preferred Stock (voting on an as-converted basis) and Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting as a single class.

**Director Independence**

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of Messrs. Kerret, Lynn, Miller, and Jenkins. Based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Kerret and Lynn do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors would qualify as "independent" as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, if such rules applied to us. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that these non-employee directors have with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in "Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions." Our board of directors has not yet evaluated the independence of Ms. Liu.

**Real Estate Transactions**

The initial three real estate properties we used to assess the effectiveness of the Fundrise Platform were managed and owned by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller. Specifically, from 2011 to 2014, each of 1351 H Street NE, LLC, 906 H Street NE, LLC, and 1539 7<sup>th</sup> Street NW, LLC, all of which invested in properties located in Washington, DC, utilized the Fundrise Platform to conduct three separate Regulation A offerings to raise $325,000, $350,000, and $350,000, respectively. We received no transaction-based compensation from these deals and, at the time, we were wholly-owned by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller. 1351 H Street NE, LLC currently continues to use the Fundrise Platform solely for online investor relations and dividend distributions.

**Investments in Company Convertible Notes**

Through April 2014, we raised $3,359,041 in convertible notes from a number of parties, including related parties. Convertible notes of $545,825 from Benjamin Miller, $545,825 from Daniel Miller, and $806,365 from WestMill Capital Partners LLC, a private limited liability company jointly and equally owned in its entirety by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller, were converted into a total of 867,793 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.

These related party investments were made under the same terms as other investors in the convertible notes.

**Investments in Sponsored Programs and Notes Program**

Many of the Company's executive officers and directors (including immediate family members) have opened investor accounts on the Fundrise Platform. All investments (and redemptions, where applicable) were made in the ordinary course of business and transacted on terms and conditions that were not more favorable than those obtained by third-party investors.

**Future Transactions**

We intend that all future affiliated transactions be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. We previously implemented a conflicts of interest policy, which requires a majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors to approve affiliated transactions.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS**

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding capital stock as of December 31, 2022 for the following: (i) each of our directors and executive officers, (ii) all persons who are our directors and executive officers as a group and (iii) any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of our outstanding capital stock.

We calculated percentage ownership based on 43,079,878 shares of our capital stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022, which consisted of 2,455,894 shares of Class A Common Stock, 18,758,938 shares of Class B Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class F Common Stock, and 11,865,046 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. In computing the beneficial ownership of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, we deemed a person to be the beneficial owner of all restricted shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued to such person under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan regardless of whether such shares have vested, as our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan provides that, unless we provide otherwise, a grantee of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to vote such shares regardless of whether such shares have vested.

To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes below, each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock shown as beneficially owned by that stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each person named in the table below is c/o Rise Companies Corp., 11 Dupont Circle NW, Suite 900, Washington, DC 20036.

\* Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Oak Pacific Investment ("OPI") is a record owner of 7,856,395 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which amounts to 66.2% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock), and certain other holders, some of which are listed in the table above, are record owners of the remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. However, pursuant to the Voting Agreement described in footnote 5 below, OPI is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 100.0% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock because, as a majority owner of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (i) OPI is entitled to nominate the one director allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the remaining holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have effectively agreed to vote in accordance with OPI with respect to such director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Voting power with respect to common stock is calculated by taking into account the votes of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock all voting together as a single class, with Class A Common Stock carrying one (1) vote per share and Class F Common Stock carrying ten (10) votes per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Voting power with respect to capital stock is calculated by taking into account the votes of Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock all voting together as a single class (with Series A Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis), with Class A Common Stock carrying one (1) vote per share, Class F Common Stock carrying ten (10) votes per share and Series A Preferred Stock carrying one (1) vote per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The holder's shares of Class A Common Stock are restricted shares issued under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan. As of December 31, 2020 all shares have vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) On April 14, 2014, in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock financing described in "Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions", we entered into a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with certain Class A and Class F holders of our common stock and Series A holders of our preferred stock, including persons who held more than 10% of any class of our outstanding capital stock, our executive officers and directors, entities with which certain of our officers and directors are affiliated, and family members of certain of our officers and directors. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the holders of certain shares of our common stock and preferred stock have agreed to vote their shares on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors, in accordance with the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares eligible to vote on such matter. The Voting Agreement creates a beneficial ownership group under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which group is comprised of certain holders of our Class A Common Stock, all holders of our Class F Common Stock and all holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.

*Voting rights*. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of our Class B Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our Class F Common Stock are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

The holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters, and are entitled to elect two directors at any election of directors.

*Dividends, distributions and stock splits*. Holders of our common stock, on a *pari passu* basis with holders of our preferred stock, are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. In the event that such dividends are paid in the form of shares of common stock or rights to acquire common stock, the holders may only receive such shares or rights to acquire such shares from their respective classes of stock.

*Liquidation*. In the event of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the our assets, (ii) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity (unless it is a merger or consolidation in which the holders of our capital stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of our capital stock or the capital stock of the surviving or acquiring entity), (iii) closing of the transfer of our securities to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of our securities) if after such closing such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of our outstanding voting stock (or of the surviving or acquiring entity), or (iv) dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary ((i) through (iv) each being a "Liquidation Event"), after payment of our debts and other liabilities and making provisions for any holders of our preferred stock who have a liquidation preference, our remaining assets will be distributed ratably among the holders of common stock.

*Fully paid*. All the shares of our common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and nonassessable.

*Conversion rights*. Holders of our Class B Common Stock do not have any conversion rights. Holders of our Class F Common Stock may convert each share of Class F Common Stock into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at any time upon written notice to our transfer agent. Each share of Class F Common Stock will automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer, *provided however*, that such automatic conversion will not be triggered if (i) such transfer is between (x) a Class F stockholder (or any of such Class F stockholder's Permitted Entities (as such term is defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation)) and (y) any other Class F stockholder or such Class F stockholder's Permitted Entities or (ii) a transfer by a Class F stockholder to any of the Permitted Entities. Each share of Class F Common Stock will automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the death of such holder of Class F.

*Registration rights*. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for our securities. Certain holders of our Class F Common Stock have piggyback registration rights pursuant to our Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated as of April 14, 2014 (the "IRA").

*Transfer restrictions*. Holders of our Class B Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class B Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer if our board of directors delegates such authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such transfer restrictions shall not apply (i) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock who is an individual, to certain transfers made without consideration for bona fide estate planning purposes and (ii) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock that is an entity, to certain transfers made without consideration to such entity's stockholders, members, partners, other equity holders or affiliates.

*Lockup*. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, included in this Offering Circular as Appendix A, holders of our Class B Common Stock may not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company's initial registered public offering ("IPO") and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Class B Common Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by them. The underwriters in connection with the Company's IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of the lockup. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, each holder of our Class B Common Stock will be required to execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with the lockup.

*Personal Conduct Repurchase Option*. In the event that a holder of our Class B Common Stock fails to conform his/her/its personal conduct to common and accepted standards of good citizenship or conducts himself/herself/itself in a way that reflects poorly upon us, as determined by our board of directors in its sole, but good faith, discretion, our board of directors may elect, at its sole discretion, to cause us to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder of Class B Common Stock. In connection with any repurchase of Class B Common Stock, the price paid to the applicable holder of Class B Common Stock shall be equal to the aggregate original purchase price paid for the shares plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

*Inspection Rights*. Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware allows a stockholder of a company to inspect for any proper purpose, a company's stock ledger, list of stockholders, and other books and records and the books and records of a company's subsidiary in certain circumstances. Holders of our Class B Common Stock agree to waive the inspection rights set forth in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. However, as a company subject to the reporting requirements under Regulation A, we must publicly file certain annual, semi-annual and current reports, which will include annual audited financials and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

**Preferred Stock**

As of December 31, 2022, 11,865,046 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

*Voting rights*. Each share of our preferred stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock into which such preferred stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder will have equal voting rights and powers to that of holders of Class A Common Stock. So long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect one director at any election of directors and are entitled to certain protective provisions.

*Dividends, distributions and stock splits*. Holders of our preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends on a *pari passu* basis with holders of shares of common stock when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends. Dividends will be distributed among holders of preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of preferred stock were converted.

*Liquidation*. In the event of any Liquidation Event, the holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable original issue price of $2.1872 per share, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share.

*Conversion rights*. Holders of our preferred stock may convert each share of preferred stock into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock, determined by dividing the applicable original issue price for such shares of preferred stock by the applicable conversion price for such series, as adjusted for certain anti-dilution protections. The issuance of our Class B Common Stock has not and will not trigger any conversion price adjustments for the preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the conversion rate at the time in effect, immediately upon the earlier of the closing of the sale of our common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act or the date or event specified by vote, written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

*Other rights*. Holders of our preferred stock have other rights such as demand, piggyback, and S-3 registration rights, information rights and preemptive rights pursuant to the IRA. The holders of our preferred stock also have rights of first refusal and co-sale with respect to certain transfers made by certain holders of our common stock. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, no capital stock may be repurchased or redeemed by us without the approval of the majority of the then outstanding shares of our preferred stock, except for the repurchase of shares of common stock from persons performing services for us pursuant to agreements under which we have the option to repurchase such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment or service, pursuant to a right of first refusal.

**Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors**

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation permits us to provide indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to very limited exceptions.

We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that are, in some cases, broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify executive officers and directors against certain liabilities, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct, that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. We are also required to advance amounts to or on behalf of our officers and directors in the event of claims or actions against them. We believe that these indemnification arrangements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as our directors and executive officers.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws**

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain certain provisions that could discourage potential takeover attempts and make it more difficult for our stockholders to change management or receive a premium for their shares.

***Delaware Law***

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover provision, generally prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. A "business combination" includes a merger, sale of 10.0% or more of our assets and certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. For purposes of Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is defined to include any person that is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the owner of 15.0% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation;

· an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15.0% or more of the voting stock outstanding of the corporation, at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date; or

· an affiliate or associate of the persons described in the foregoing bullet points.

However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an interested stockholder prior to the date of that
 transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder,
 that stockholder owned at least 85.0% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned
 by our officers and directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized
 at a meeting of our stockholders by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested
 stockholder; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· we do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record
 by more than 2,000 stockholders.

Although Section 203 is not applicable to us as of the date of this offering circular, because we do not currently have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, we may become subject to Section 203 in the future. In the event that we become subject to Section 203 or otherwise, our stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, elect for us not to be governed by Section 203, effective 12 months after adoption. Currently, neither our amended and restated certificate of incorporation nor our bylaws exempt us from the restrictions imposed under Section 203. It is anticipated that, if applicable to us, the provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors.

***Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions***

<u>Appointment and Removal of Officers and Directors.</u> Members of our board of directors may be removed with the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, with or without cause. Vacancies and newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of our directors then in office, though less than a quorum. In lieu of filling any vacancy, the board of directors may reduce the number of directors. The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board of directors, establish one or more committees consisting of one or more directors that can exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors, limited by any action expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be submitted for stockholder approval or the amendment of the bylaws.

Our officers consist of one or more presidents, a treasurer, a secretary, and such other officers, including, without limitation, a chief executive officer and one or more vice presidents, assistant vice presidents, assistant treasurers and assistant secretaries, as determined by the board of directors. The board of directors may remove any officer with or without cause by a majority vote of the directors.

<u>Amendments to Charter and Bylaws.</u> Generally, we reserve the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, except with respect to certificate provisions relating to the indemnification of directors, officers, employees, agents or other persons. The amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires the adoption of a resolution by our board of directors and a majority vote of stockholders at either a special meeting or the next annual meeting of stockholders. Any amendment to our bylaws requires the approval of stockholders or the board of directors, provided that (i) the board of directors may not amend any provision of the bylaws which by law, by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or by our bylaws requires action by the stockholders and (ii) any amendment of our bylaws by the board of directors and any new bylaws adopted by the board of directors may be amended by the stockholders.

<u>Restrictions on Transferability.</u> Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains restrictions on the holders of Class B Common Stock to transfer their shares. See "Plan of Distribution – Transferability of our Class B Common Stock" for more information.

**Transfer Agent**

In December 2017, Fundrise Advisors entered into an agreement with Computershare Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (together with Computershare, Inc., "<u>Computershare</u>"), whereby Computershare agreed to act as our transfer agent.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

We are offering up to 1,298,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock pursuant to this offering circular, which represents the value of the shares available to be offered as of January 26, 2023 out of the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount of $75 million in our Class B Common Stock taking into account $55.3 million in shares of Class B Common Stock sold over the prior 12-month period. Our Class B Common Stock being offered hereby will be primarily offered by associated persons of ours through the Fundrise Platform at *<u>www.fundrise.com</u>*. In conducting this offering, such persons intend to rely on the exemption from registration contained in Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1. For additional information about the Fundrise Platform, please see "Offering Circular Summary—About the Fundrise Platform."

The Fundrise Platform is not subject to the registration requirements of Section 304 of the JOBS Act because it does not offer and sell securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act, and, therefore, does not meet the definition of a "funding portal."

This offering circular will be furnished to prospective investors upon their request via electronic PDF format and will be available for viewing and download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the Fundrise Platform website, as well as on the SEC's website at *<u>www.sec.gov</u>*.

In order to subscribe to purchase our Class B Common Stock, a prospective investor must electronically complete, sign and deliver to us an executed subscription agreement in the form attached to this offering circular as Appendix A, and wire or ACH funds for its subscription amount in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

Settlement may occur up to 30 days after a prospective investor submits a subscription agreement, depending on the volume of subscriptions received. An investor will become a stockholder, including for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the shares will be issued, as of the date of settlement. Settlement will not occur until an investor's funds have cleared and we accept the investor as a stockholder.

We intend to initially limit the offer and sale of our Class B Common Stock in this offering solely to investors who have purchased one or more investments sponsored by us.

We reserve the right to reject any investor's subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a "qualified purchaser" for purposes of Section 18(b)(4)(D)(ii) of the Securities Act. If the offering terminates or if any prospective investor's subscription is rejected, all funds received from such investors will be returned without interest or deduction.

**State Law Exemption and Offerings to "Qualified Purchasers"**

Our Class B Common Stock is being offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Regulation A). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A, this offering will be exempt from state "Blue Sky" law review, subject to certain state filing requirements and anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Class B Common Stock offered hereby is offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" or at a time when our Class B Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange. "Qualified purchasers" include: (i) "accredited investors" under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Class B Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). However, our Class B Common Stock is being offered and sold only to those investors that are within the latter category (*i.e.*, investors whose investment in our Class B Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the applicable amount), regardless of an investor's status as an "accredited investor." Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor's subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a "qualified purchaser" for purposes of Regulation A.

**Certificates Will Not be Issued**

We will not issue certificates. Instead, our Class B Common Stock will be recorded and maintained on our share register.

**Transferability of our Class B Common Stock**

Holders of our Class B Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class B Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer if our board of directors delegates such authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such transfer restrictions shall not apply (i) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock who is an individual, to certain transfers made without consideration for bona fide estate planning purposes and (ii) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock that is an entity, to certain transfers made without consideration to such entity's stockholders, members, partners, other equity holders or affiliates.

**No Escrow**

The proceeds of this offering will not be placed into an escrow account. We are offering our Class B Common Stock on a best efforts basis primarily through the online Fundrise Platform.

**Advertising, Sales and other Promotional Materials**

In addition to this offering circular, subject to limitations imposed by applicable securities laws, we expect to use additional advertising, sales and other promotional materials in connection with this offering. These materials may include information relating to this offering, the past performance of our Company and our affiliates, property brochures, articles and publications concerning real estate, or public advertisements and audio-visual materials, in each case only as authorized by us. In addition, the sales material may contain certain quotes from various publications without obtaining the consent of the author or the publication for use of the quoted material in the sales material. Although these materials will not contain information in conflict with the information provided by this offering circular and will be prepared with a view to presenting a balanced discussion of risk and reward with respect to our Class B Common Stock, these materials will not give a complete understanding of this offering, us or our Class B Common Stock and are not to be considered part of this offering circular. This offering is made only by means of this offering circular and prospective investors must read and rely on the information provided in this offering circular in connection with their decision to invest in our Class B Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 At no time has it been expressly or implicitly represented, guaranteed or warranted to the Subscriber by Fundrise or any other person that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A percentage of profit and/or amount or type of gain or other consideration will be realized as a result of this investment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The past performance or experience on the part of Fundrise and/or its officers or directors does not in any way indicate the predictable or probable results of the ownership of the Shares or the overall Fundrise venture.

The Subscriber and/or the Subscriber's advisors, who are not affiliated with and not compensated directly or indirectly by Fundrise or an affiliate thereof, have such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters as will enable them to utilize the information which they have received in connection with Fundrise and its business to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment, to make an informed investment decision and to protect Subscriber's own interests in connection with the Purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 The Subscriber understands that the Shares being purchased are a speculative investment which involves a substantial degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber's entire investment in the Shares, and the Subscriber understands and is fully cognizant of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Shares. The Subscriber has read, reviewed and understood the risk factors set forth in the Offering Circular.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7 The Subscriber understands that any forecasts or predictions as to Fundrise's performance are based on estimates, assumptions and forecasts that Fundrise believes to be reasonable but that may prove to be materially incorrect, and no assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by the various forecasts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8 The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of this investment and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is able to hold this investment for an indefinite period of time. The Subscriber has adequate means to provide for the Subscriber's current needs and personal contingencies and has a sufficient net worth to sustain the loss of the Subscriber's entire investment in Fundrise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.9 The amount of Shares being purchased by the Subscriber does not exceed 10% of the greater of the Subscriber's annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of Subscriber's annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).

Further, all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.12 The Subscriber understands that no state or federal authority has scrutinized this Agreement or the Shares offered pursuant hereto, has made any finding or determination relating to the fairness for investment of the Shares, or has recommended or endorsed the Shares, and that the Shares have not been registered or qualified under the Act or any state securities laws, in reliance upon exemptions from registration thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.13 [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.14 The Subscriber is subscribing for and purchasing the Shares without being furnished any offering literature, other than the Offering Circular, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and this Agreement, and such other related documents, agreements or instruments as may be attached to the foregoing documents as exhibits or supplements thereto, or as the Subscriber has otherwise requested from Fundrise in writing, and without receiving any representations or warranties from Fundrise or its agents and representatives other than the representations and warranties contained in said documents, and is making this investment decision solely in reliance upon the information contained in said documents and upon any investigation made by the Subscriber or Subscriber's advisors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.15 The Subscriber's true and correct full legal name, address of residence (or, if an entity, principal place of business), phone number, electronic mail address, United States taxpayer identification number, if any, and other contact information are accurately provided on signature page hereto. The Subscriber is currently a bona fide resident of the state or jurisdiction set forth in the current address provided to Fundrise. The Subscriber has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.16 The Subscriber is subscribing for and purchasing the Shares solely for the Subscriber's own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view toward or in connection with resale, distribution (other than to its shareholders or members, if any), subdivision or fractionalization thereof. The Subscriber has no agreement or other arrangement, formal or informal, with any person or entity to sell, transfer or pledge any part of the Shares, or which would guarantee the Subscriber any profit, or insure against any loss with respect to the Shares, and the Subscriber has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.17 The Subscriber represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby and the performance of the obligations thereunder and hereunder will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under any provision of any other agreement or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or any license, permit, franchise, judgment, order, writ or decree, or any statute, rule or regulation, applicable to the Subscriber. The Subscriber confirms that the consummation of the transactions envisioned herein, including, but not limited to, the Subscriber's Purchase, will not violate any foreign law and that such transactions are lawful in the Subscriber's country of citizenship and residence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.18 Fundrise's intent is to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws designed to combat money laundering and similar illegal activities, including the provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "***PATRIOT Act***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 In the case of any transfer consented to by the corporation or described in Section 5.2 above or otherwise, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares subject to the provisions of this Section 5, and there shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accordance with this Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 Each Subscriber hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company's initial registered public offering ("IPO") and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 The underwriters in connection with the Company's IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, each Subscriber shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. *<u>Tax Forms</u>* . The Subscriber will also need to complete an IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, which should be returned directly to us via the Fundrise Platform. The Subscriber certifies that the information contained in the executed copy (or copies) of IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (and any accompanying required documentation), as applicable, when submitted to us will be true, correct and complete. The Subscriber shall (i) promptly inform us of any change in such information, and (ii) furnish to us a new properly completed and executed form, certificate or attachment, as applicable, as may be required under the Internal Revenue Service instructions to such forms, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable Treasury Regulations or as may be requested from time to time by us.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *<u>Personal Conduct Repurchase Option for the Shares.</u>* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 In the event that the Subscriber fails to conform his/her/its personal conduct to common and accepted standards of good citizenship or conducts himself/herself/itself in a way that reflects poorly upon Fundrise, as determined by the Board of Directors of Fundrise (the "***Board***") in its sole, but good faith discretion, the Board may elect, at its sole discretion, to cause Fundrise to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares held by the Subscriber; *<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>* that the Board may delegate the power to make the decision to cause Fundrise to repurchase the Subscriber's Shares under this Section 8 to Fundrise's Chief Executive Officer (the "***CEO***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 In the event that the Board (or the CEO if the Board has delegated its power to the CEO), elects to cause Fundrise to repurchase any Shares pursuant to this Section 8, Fundrise shall, within fifteen (15) business days of such election, send written notice to the Subscriber stating that Fundrise is exercising its right to repurchase the Subscriber's Shares pursuant to Section 8 (the "***Repurchase Notice***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 In connection with any repurchase by Fundrise of Shares pursuant to this Section 8, the price paid to the Subscriber shall be equal to the aggregate original purchase price paid for the Shares plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares (the "***Repurchase Price***"). The Repurchase Price paid pursuant to this Section 8 shall be delivered to the Subscriber within fifteen (15) business days after the Repurchase Notice is provided to the Subscriber. The date on which Fundrise pays or tenders the Repurchase Price to the Subscriber shall be referred to herein as the "***Repurchase Date***".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 On or before the Repurchase Date, the Subscriber shall surrender any certificate or certificates representing such Shares (or, if the Subscriber alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to Fundrise to indemnify Fundrise against any claim that may be made against Fundrise on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to Fundrise, in the manner and at the place designated in the Repurchase Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 On the Repurchase Date, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the Shares so called for repurchase shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such Shares shall forthwith after the Repurchase Date terminate. Any Shares that are repurchased shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. *<u>No Advisory Relationship</u>* . You acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length transaction between you and Fundrise. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares, Fundrise is not acting as your agent or fiduciary. Fundrise assumes no advisory or fiduciary responsibility in your favor in connection with the Shares or the corresponding project investments. Fundrise has not provided you with any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Shares, and you have consulted your own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. *<u>Bankruptcy</u>* . In the event that you file or enter bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding, you agree to use the best efforts possible to avoid Fundrise being named as a party or otherwise involved in the bankruptcy proceeding. Furthermore, this Agreement should be interpreted so as to prevent, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any bankruptcy trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession from asserting, requiring or seeking that (i) you be allowed by Fundrise to return the Shares to Fundrise for a refund or (ii) Fundrise be mandated or ordered to redeem or withdraw Shares held or owned by you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. *<u>Miscellaneous Provisions</u>* <u>.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.7 In the event that either party hereto shall commence any suit, action or other proceeding to interpret this Agreement, or determine to enforce any right or obligation created hereby, then such party, if it prevails in such action, shall recover its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses and costs of appeal, if any.

Re: <u>Securities Qualified under Offering Statement on Form 1-A</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your January 30, 2023 filing of an Offering Statement on Form 1-A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as amended or supplemented, the "Offering Statement") pursuant to Rule 252 of Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the qualification of the Offering Statement and the offering by Rise Companies Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") of up to 1,298,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Shares"). The Shares are being sold to the several purchasers named in, and pursuant to, the several subscription agreements between the Company and such purchasers, a form of which is included in the Offering Statement as Appendix A (the "Subscription Agreement").

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinions set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.

The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the references to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Offering Statement. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Goodwin Procter LLP
