Nordstreet

Idea

Introduction

With usual types of business financing becoming more and more restricted by the traditional funding organisations like banks or credit unions, the business loan sector is ripe for disruption.

Nordstreet aims to democratise business financing, allowing retail investors to invest in Real Estate (RE) backed business projects previously only available for investment funds or credit unions.

As the years progressed, they noticed that it was becoming an ever-growing hassle to get funding from traditional funding sources. All the while crowdfunding sector was projected to triple in size by 2025!

Seeing the immense opportunity ahead, the founders decided to tackle this issue themselves. 4 years later, the platform has funded €25M worth of business loans and is doubling each year!

Our current results at a glance:

860k Annual Revenue in 2021(2.1xYoY increase)
More than 11,000 people registered on the platform

Monetisation strategy

The majority of the company’s revenue is generated from funding fees paid by the borrowers for successfully funded loan on the Nordstreet platform. The success fee typically ranges between 3-6% which is calculated depending on the project’s risk, term and funding amount.

Nordstreet has additional revenue streams:

If borrower is delaying to meet their obligations, Nordstreet charges arrears (late payment fees) that are equally split between investors and the platform.

Nordstreet investors pay a 2% fee when selling their investments in Nordstreet secondary market.

Crowdsofts provides a fully integrated back end solution that helps new crowdfunding platforms get up and running quicker. We generate revenue from the initial sales and also charge platforms success fee for the funded amount.
