The Yieldstreet story

The investor’s problem
Milind Mehere is a successful tech entrepreneur who was seeking investment opportunities outside of the stock market that had real collateral and attractive yields. He soon realized that asset-based investments in asset classes like legal and real estate were nearly impossible for an accredited investor like himself to access. These investments were dominated by institutions with high minimums and long holding periods that shut out everyday investors. Milind knew many other professionals like him were having the same problem, and he felt passionately that they shouldn’t be excluded because they weren’t multi-millionaires or huge corporations. He knew there had to be a solution.

The borrower’s problem
Michael Weisz and Dennis Shields built successful careers in identifying and funding worthy borrowers in the fixed income space. As a traditional fund, they also had to turn away several smaller investors as they couldn’t operationally support large volumes of investors. They grew frustrated by these antiquated operations and were determined to solve this problem.

The solution
A first of its kind technology platform that connects accredited investors to asset-based investment opportunities across multiple asset classes, and provides deserving borrowers with affordable capital.
