ATLANTA, May 23, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Groundfloor co-founder and CEO Brian Dally was inducted into the Atlanta
Dealmakers Hall of Fame. This prestigious honor recognizes
individuals who make significant contributions to the dealmaking
landscape in Atlanta and
beyond.
With more than 25 years of experience building disruptive
technology startups across the globe, Dally has made substantial
innovations in the financial services industry. By co-founding
Groundfloor with Nick Bhargava in
2013, Dally enabled non-accredited and accredited investors alike
to participate in residential real estate investment loans on a
fractional basis, leading the company to become the very first to
be qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer
investing in this way. Ten years later, the award-winning platform
continues to democratize access to real estate investing,
empowering individual investors to access private market
investments that were once only available to institutional
investors. As further proof of its impact, Groundfloor recently
announced it surpassed $1 billion in
retail investment volume.
In keeping with the company's mission to level the playing
field, Groundfloor has also innovated when it comes to raising
capital for its own operations. Instead of solely relying on VC
fundraising, the company allows its loyal retail investor base to
become shareholders. Today, Groundfloor is proudly 30.2%
customer-owned. Overall, the company has raised $41 million in capital.
Prior to Groundfloor, Dally led the launch of Republic Wireless,
a division of Bandwidth (NASDAQ: BAND), which gained international
acclaim for inventing Hybrid Calling to take on the big four cell
phone carriers. Under his leadership, millions more Americans
gained access to affordable smartphones.
Dally's impact on the industry extends beyond Groundfloor and
Republic Wireless. He has advised a wide range of early stage
startups as a mentor and investor.
"Brian Dally is a visionary
leader who has had a significant impact on the financial services
industry," said Dustin Klein, Chief
Content Officer at Smart Business Network. "His induction into the
Atlanta Dealmakers Hall of Fame is well-deserved recognition of his
exceptional contributions and innovative leadership."
