About Risotto

From Frustration to Automation: How Fundrise Transformed IT Support with Risotto

Why we invested

Better, faster, cheaper product - when Risotto replaced the legacy solution Fundrise was using, we got a better product and a faster implementation at a lower cost.
Impressive traction - Risotto has won over an impressive roster of customers including Retool, Medium, and Oklo in a short period after launch. This speaks to the depth of demand and the quality of their product.
Great team - The Y Combinator-backed team has a strong background in IT and software engineering.

Risotto monitors incoming IT issues and software access requests in Slack and automatically tickets and resolves them. For those it can't resolve, it helps an IT team member expedite resolution with helpful details. Risotto can also help a user solve issues it has learned from threads previously encountered. As an example, if an employee needs access to Canva or Databricks, Risotto can automatically check the requirements and either grant access or request permission from the relevant manager, all while recording the proper documentation.

This AI-enabled automation allows IT & HR to focus on higher-value work. Risotto provides a better, faster, and more secure support experience to companies of all sizes.

Fundrise experienced this first hand when we moved from an expensive, bloated ITSM provider to Risotto. We were blown away by the ease of the pro.

Innovation Fund

Open Venture

Our Innovation fund is designed to deliver long-term growth from a diversified portfolio of technology companies. The fund is focused on investing in potentially high-growth private technology businesses. The Innovation fund takes a “multi-stage” approach, investing across the lifecycle of a private company – from early to late stage and continuing to hold after any potential IPOs. The fund invests across thematic sectors including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), data infrastructure, vertical and horizontal software, and other categories with attractive long-term growth potential.

An investment in the Fund is subject to, among others, the following risks:

Shares are not listed on any securities exchange and it is not anticipated that a secondary market for Shares will develop. Shares are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”). Although the Fund may offer to repurchase Shares from time to time, Shares will not be redeemable at a Shareholder’s option nor will they be exchangeable for Shares or shares of any other fund. As a result, an investor may not be able to sell or otherwise liquidate his or her Shares. Shares are appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment and for whom an investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program.
If a Shareholder is able to sell its Shares outside the repurchase process, the Shareholder likely will receive less than the then-current NAV per Share.
There is no assurance that distributions paid by the Fund will be maintained at a certain level or that dividends will be paid at all.
The Fund’s distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to the Fund for investment. Any capital returned to Shareholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.
A return of capital to Shareholders is a return of a portion of their original investment in the Fund, thereby reducing the tax basis of their investment. As a result of such reduction in tax basis, Shareholders may be subject to tax in connection with the sale of Shares, even if such Shares are sold at a loss relative to the Shareholder’s original investment.

Investing in Shares is speculative and involves substantial risks. You should purchase Shares of the Fund only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current and future holdings are subject to risk. Returns of one company are not indicative of an investment in the fund. To obtain fund performance click here. The fund's most recent schedule of investments is available here.

Fundrise Innovation Fund is the marketing name for Fundrise Growth Tech Fund, LLC. The Innovation Fund is publicly registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as a “tender offer” fund.

The Fund’s portfolio will be concentrated in securities issued by technology companies and other investments that provide economic exposure to technology companies and as such, it may be subject to more risks than if it were broadly diversified across additional sectors and industries of the economy. Certain technology companies may face special risks that their products or services may not prove to be commercially successful. Technology companies are also strongly affected by worldwide scientific or technological developments, and as a result, their products may rapidly become obsolete. The Fund’s investments in companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence-related businesses may be negatively impacted because of, among other things, limited product lines, markets, financial resources and/or personnel; intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence these companies may face; loss or impairment of intellectual property rights; and the inability to successfully develop products or services even after spending significant amount of resources.

The Fund’s investment in private company securities, whether made directly or indirectly (e.g., through derivatives or private pooled investment vehicles) are generally illiquid. Because private company securities are thinly traded, such securities may display especially volatile or erratic price movements, sometimes in response to relatively small changes in investor supply or demand or other market conditions.
