INVEST IN JANOVER VENTURES TODAY!
Reasons to Invest
Even the largest and most sophisticated commercial real estate and small business investors don't know — and are rarely ever presented with — their best financing options.
Lenders have not actively embraced digital client engagement or technology to improve efficiency. Their old-school approach ultimately leads to a lack of incentivization to seek and originate “small” loans under $15 million, because it costs as much to originate a $50MM loan as a $50k loan... until now.
Neither borrowers nor lenders have a way to access each other at scale. With hundreds of thousands of borrowers, and lenders, all with their unique “deal” components; how can everyone possibly connect with their best counterpart?
Through a growing network of educationally-focused digital media assets owned by Janover Ventures, we are empowering commercial real estate, multifamily and small business owners with loan options they may not have known existed.
By leveraging a combination of industry-leading, proprietary technology, and carefully curated lender and investor relationships, Janover Ventures is helping borrowers get access to superior loan options, and at the same time, helping lenders get more clients that fit their ideal credit profile.
Thanks to our data-driven expertise in digital growth engineering, capital markets and agile web development; we are able to help unlock access to multifamily, small business, and commercial real estate debt capital.
We own some of the most valuable, highly-trafficked commercial real estate, multifamily and small business finance websites on the Internet. You can think of it like this... Imagine each website is a piece of real estate, and where it appears organically on Google Search as its location. Because we appear on the first page of Google for thousands of commercial real estate and business finance terms, we own the world's best "digital real estate".
Our technology collects and processes the data, connects borrowers with the right lenders and loan products, and removes frictions for everyone so that they can do what they came to do. Business.
Our intuitive portal guides borrowers at their own pace on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, securely through a process that used to take days and dozens of touchpoints, in mere minutes. This beautiful digital package is then processed through our proprietary data analysis framework which is overseen by our expert capital advisors, and matched directly to the best possible lender for that unique transaction.
Maintaining established relationships with external lender-partners allows us to focus on what we're the best at: technology enhancing commercial real estate, multifamily and small business financing for borrowers and lenders. We have developed strategic lending partnerships with some of the nation’s leading public and private financial institutions.
We have created a network of successful brands (such as multifamily.loans and hud.loans) which have aided us in arranging more than $223 million in closed loans through 2020, with our smallest loans being as modest as $20,000 or less and the high-end being as large as $26,000,000 or more.
Our algorithms draw on our proprietary dataset to score and distribute opportunities to our internal advisory team and external lender partners.
We don't close loans in our name, and therefore do not carry large liabilities on our books. We earn income when a loan closes, and everyone succeeds.
The market for multifamily and commercial real estate financing is huge, and is growing. Multifamily continues to be a highly-attractive asset class with long-term stable demand through economic cycles. The opportunity to reposition bank borrowers to agency and government-sponsored products is by far the largest opportunity; although there remains tremendous opportunity in opening the door to more options for all commercial borrowers across the country. Put simply, a small credit union down the street that you’ve never heard of may be able to provide higher leverage, lower cost, better cash flowing financing than a bank just a couple doors down. There’s no way for everyone to know all their options. The same goes for small business financing.
There’s an opportunity to educate small balance bank borrowers on the benefits of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA multifamily financing and help them pivot to more competitive financing options.
The market for small business loans is tremendous and comes in many forms, shapes and sizes. For example, government-backed SBA (Small Business Administration) loans were responsible for over $28B in small business funding in 2020, and that doesn’t include the significant increase from the enactment of the CARES act during the pandemic. In 2020, during the Coronavirus pandemic, Janover Ventures was able to help hundreds of businesses secure access to PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loans, totaling close to $20MM. Other conventional loan products such as lines of credit, term loans, merchant cash advances, business credit cards and equipment financing offer even more opportunities for us to empower business owners with options. According to the Federal Reserve’s Small Business Credit Survey, 43% of small businesses in the United States applied for a loan last year. The average small business bank loan is $633,000, while the average SBA loan is around $107,000. With over 30.2M small businesses in the United States and roughly 70% with outstanding debt, you can safely assume the market size is massive.
We like to think of our competitors as business partnership opportunities. Most of the potential competition, such as large lenders, struggle with digital client acquisition. Others have tried to build digital marketplaces, but never see the type of traction that we've attained. Our borrower acquisition costs are a fraction of those of incumbents because of the data-driven nature of our digital growth strategies and our ability to monetize a larger swath of our opportunities (due to our broader credit parameters). Our software and proprietary processes allow us to sift, parse and distribute loan opportunities more efficiently, with a lower touch and with higher-converting engagement than any of our peers. We think we can close more loans, at a lower cost per loan, with lower risk, at a faster clip than anyone, period.
First and foremost, we are tasked with getting much needed financial education into the hands of business, multifamily and commercial real estate owners. Our 2021 vision is as clear as our 20/20 vision: to be the first digital touchpoint for as many business, multifamily and commercial real estate borrowers as possible on the Internet and to provide them with education and loan options that they never had before. By 2026 we aim to become the highest volume multifamily, commercial real estate and digital finance platform in America. We will create a closed ecosystem for the best and most diverse group of lenders in the business to provide high quality financing to the business owners of America; starting with apartment buildings, commercial real estate, and ultimately all business financing. The 'Lending Tree' of business financing, without selling leads to the highest bidder. BAM! :)
Prior to our first investment round in mid-2020, Janover Ventures was 100% bootstrapped with a lot of organic growth. During our first round, we saw tremendous support and were ultimately backed by over 2,000 investors who aligned with our vision.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
Janover Ventures will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Class A Common Stock at $1.00 / share, you will receive 110 shares of Class A Common Stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $100. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investors eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are cancelled or fail.
Investors will only receive a single bonus, which will be the highest bonus rate they are eligible for.
*All perks occur when the offering is completed.

We’re excited to announce that team Janover has just gotten bigger. Please help us give a warm welcome to Brad Beattie, our newest Director of Capital Markets. Brad will be an integral player on the Capital Markets team and will be focusing on a bucket that JV has been eager to expand upon: large construction loans and bank financing.
Brad's an industry veteran, with a super impressive background starting his career at one of the biggest commercial brokerages in the world, Meridian Capital Group. Over the course of his career, he’s been responsible for placing and closing hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial mortgage transactions. Starting this week, he’ll begin the onboarding process and join the local team at JV headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida!
Needless to say, we’re excited about the team expansion as well as the opportunity to further monetize the half a billion dollars in monthly loan opportunities coming through our portal! Congrats to everyone, but a big thank you to our investors who are helping to make our growth goals possible.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
