Viva Funders

Viva Funders is an online-only crowdfunding platform that lets accredited investors buy fractional shares of U.S. real-estate debt. Minimum buy-ins start around $25k, placing the service in the mid-to-premium price tier for retail investors. All transactions—from KYC verification to funding and secondary-market resale—happen through the vivafunders.com portal. The platform pools investor capital into short-term bridge loans originated by pre-screened private lenders, targeting 8-12% net annual yield with 6-18-month durations. A proprietary risk-scoring engine grades each loan A-C and publishes full collateral files, giving investors data usually reserved for institutional buyers. Investors can auto-diversify across multiple loans or pick individual deals, and a quarterly bulletin updates every project’s payoff status. Typical customers are accredited individuals, family offices, and small RIAs seeking yield uncorrelated to equities without the hassle of direct property ownership. They value transparency, shorter lock-up periods, and the ability to allocate as little as $25k per deal while still receiving lender-level returns. Viva Funders competes with real-estate REITs, syndication sites, and other debt-marketplace portals. It differentiates by focusing exclusively on first-lien bridge paper, offering quarterly liquidity windows, and providing loan-level detail rather than blind-pool exposure.
