According to TC, AcreTrader announced it has raised an oversubscribed $5 million seed round led by RZC Investments, with participation from Revel Partners.
AcreTrader was created with a simple mission: provide investors direct access to the highly attractive asset class of farmland. Through a proprietary online investment platform that uses some aspects of crowdfunding, AcreTrader offers transparency, security, and liquidity to people wanting to invest in farmland. Additionally, AcreTrader removes the headaches traditionally associated with land ownership by handling all aspects of administration and property management, from insurance and accounting to working with local farmers and improving soil sustainability.
