What Crowdli.ch does

CROWDLI Management AG operates a Swiss online crowdfunding platform (crowdli.ch) that brokers co-ownership interests (Miteigentum) in directly held, income-generating multi-family residential properties located in German-speaking Switzerland. Investors register on the platform, verify their identity, review property documentation in an online data room, calculate expected returns, and submit investment commitments starting at CHF 25,000 per property. Each funded property is organized as a Miteigentümergemeinschaft (co-owner community) of approximately 20–55 members, whose individual value quotes are entered into the official Swiss land registry. Yields of 4.5–6% p.a. are distributed quarterly.

The platform itself is a standard web-based application (no disclosed proprietary technology stack, no mobile app, no public API or SDK). Functional capabilities include property data rooms, return calculators, investment status tracking, user account/portfolio folders, and document signing flows. Identity authentication is supported via Google and Facebook OAuth. CROWDLI has no disclosed AI/ML, algorithmic trading, or proprietary valuation models; independent property appraisals are conducted by PwC as the external valuation partner. Mortgage financing is sourced from Raiffeisenbank (Schaffhausen and Seerücken), and day-to-day property administration is delegated to regional managers such as Müller+Specht Verwaltungen, with CROWDLI acting as owner representative (Eigentümervertretung).

The revenue model is transaction- and asset-based. CROWDLI earns a 3.0% (excl. VAT) acquisition/matching fee plus a 0.6% transaction administration fee on each property purchase, an ongoing 1.5% asset management fee on annual net rental income, a 1.0% fee on secondary share transfers, and a 1.0% fee on eventual property sale/dissolution. There is no subscription tier for end investors and no performance-linked fees. Distribution is a hybrid direct-to-consumer model — organic search, press coverage, founder-led events, and an email/newsletter funnel — supplemented by four named Swiss financial-advisory distribution partners (AA Group, Moneypark, INP Finanz, azemos partner ag). CROWDLI Management AG is privately held, has not raised external equity, was founded in 2016, passed a FINMA assessment in 2019 (confirmed not subject to FINMA supervision), and operates exclusively in the Swiss domestic market, excluding US-tax-resident investors.

Revenue model

1. Transaction/Matching fee (Maklerhonorar): 3.0% excl. VAT on the transaction (purchase) price for finding the property and arranging the mortgage. This is paid by the co-owner community (Miteigentümergemeinschaft) proportionally based on each investor's value quote.
2. Transaction administration fee: 0.6% excl. VAT on the transaction price covers legal fees, escrow agent (treuhand), valuation expert, and the establishment of the co-owner community including regulations and powers of attorney.
3. Asset management fee: 1.5% excl. VAT of annual net actual rental income for asset management (owner representation). This positions CROWDLI as the owner's representative acting on behalf of the co-owner community.
4. Secondary share sale fee: 1.0% excl. VAT charged to sellers for early resale of individual co-ownership shares, including administrative work.
5. Property sale fee: 1.0% excl. VAT for the sale of a property and dissolution of the co-owner community.

Others

• Companisto: German digital venture-capital and growth-investment platform offering crowd-investment in startups and real estate. Comparable on platform-based crowd-investment mechanics and retail-investor target, but operates primarily in equity/venture rather than real estate co-ownership.
• Wüest Partner: Leading Swiss real estate research, advisory, and valuation firm. Adjacent service provider in the Swiss real estate ecosystem; competes for valuation and advisory mandates but is an enabling partner-type firm rather than a direct competitor for investor capital.

Direct peers

• Foxstone: Swiss online platform enabling fractional co-investment in institutional-grade residential and commercial real estate, with minimum tickets and direct land-registry participation. Closest direct competitor in Switzerland with overlapping investor segments and similar transaction-fee monetization.

Regional players

• Zinsland: German online platform for crowd-investment in real estate projects, offering mezzanine and equity exposure with similar transaction and management fee structures. Operates a parallel model in the DACH region, comparable on architecture and target investor profile but not directly competitive in Switzerland.
• Exporo: German real estate crowdfunding pioneer enabling retail investors to participate in property projects via subordinated loans and direct investments. Comparable business model with multi-fee revenue structure and similar minimum ticket sizes, focused on the German market.
• Brickstarter: Netherlands-based real estate crowdfunding platform focused on residential and commercial property co-investment with structured investor protections. Comparable fee-based platform model and retail-investor focus, operating in adjacent European geographies.
• EstateGuru: European short-term real estate financing and investment marketplace operating across multiple European countries. Adjacent in business model (crowd-funded property exposure) and target investor base, but focuses on bridge/senior lending rather than equity co-ownership.

Emerging players

• Bergfürst: Berlin-based digital investment platform offering crowd-investments in real estate and corporate projects. Comparable on platform mechanics and retail-investor target segment, but with a broader asset scope than Crowdli's pure multi-family focus.
• RealAdvisor: Swiss real estate technology platform offering property valuations, market analytics, and brokerage services. Adjacent in the Swiss real estate digital ecosystem and serves an overlapping investor audience, but does not operate a crowdfunding/co-ownership model.

Broad incumbents

• Houzy: Swiss digital home-ownership and real estate platform that acquired Crowdhouse AG; offers broader home-financing, valuation, and property management services. Comparable in Swiss market presence and real estate focus, but with a much wider product surface than Crowdli's pure crowdfunding focus.
