Customer Success Manager

  • Full-time

Company Description

Founded in 2013 in Portland, Oregon, CrowdStreet is a software and services company that is disrupting the commercial real estate industry by enabling innovative real estate operators and developers (AKA “sponsors”) to efficiently raise funds and manage investor relations online. Efficiencies achieved by using CrowdStreet’s platform allow real estate sponsors to post their offerings on the CrowdStreet Marketplace and gain instant access to a national audience of accredited investors. Enterprise-level sponsors use the same technology platform that powers the CrowdStreet Marketplace to present offerings to their own investors under their own brand by integrating CrowdStreet Sponsor Direct, our SaaS solution, with their existing website. Both solutions democratize access to commercial real estate investment opportunities by connecting accredited investors, family offices and institutions directly with real estate sponsors for fee-free co-investing and a modern digital portfolio management experience.


Since the launch of its initial product offering in early 2014, CrowdStreet has posted over $2 billion of total project value on the CrowdStreet Marketplace, raised over $80 million on behalf of real estate sponsors and has grown its team to over 20 experienced professionals. After completing its A-Round of funding in early 2016 by raising over $3.5 million of venture capital, CrowdStreet is actively seeking to double the size of the team to support its rapid growth, expanding customer base and aggressive product roadmap.
