We Are Delighted to Invite Our Customers to Invest in Our Community Round Alongside These Awesome VC InvestorsFAQDo I have to be an accredited investor to invest?No. Wefunder allows you to invest without being an accredited investor. All you have to do is sign up and invest.What is the minimum amount I can invest?$250.What's the maximum I am legally allowed to invest?With Regulation Crowdfunding, anyone can start investing with a maximum of $2,500. The amount you can contribute beyond that depends on your net income and net worth. To see your investment limit, simply enter those two figures under 'Investor Limits' on this page (after creating and logging into a Wefunder account).Please note that even if you're eligible to invest more, your actual investment may be adjusted based on overall interest in this funding round.Am I guaranteed to get the amount that I signed up for?If demand exceeds our funding limit, we may need to limit individual investments, and any reductions will be refunded accordingly. In the event of high demand, we’ll prioritize investments in the following order, taking tenure into account:Nestment customers who have completed a property purchase, partners, and investorsNew Wefunder investorsTo streamline the process, we suggest using the same email for both your Nestment and Wefunder accountsCan I invest if I don’t live in the United States?With a few exceptions, investments can be accepted from international investors as long as you represent that you are complying with the law in your country.\u0026nbsp;Here's\u0026nbsp;a step-by-step guide on investing from outside the US.The only exceptions are the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta\u0026nbsp;which have requested that Wefunder bar their residents from investing on Wefunder’s platform,\u0026nbsp;as well as certain\u0026nbsp;sanctioned countries.What fees do investors pay?For payments made by bank ACH, wires, or checks, Wefunder charges investors a transaction fee of 2%, with a minimum of $8 and a max of $100. For credit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, Wefunder charges a 5% fee, with a minimum of $8 and no maximum.Fees are one-time and are not recurring.How will I make a return on my investment, and when?As an investor in an early stage technology start-up your return is typically made when the company experiences a liquidity event such as an acquisition or Initial Public Offering. There are occasionally other opportunities to sell your investment on a secondary market. The goal is to return, 10-100x your investment, but tech investments are risky and often go to $0 (risk vs. reward) with the typical timeline being 5-10 years before your return is realized.Where can I ask a question?\u0026nbsp;You can ask any questions you have in the “Ask A Question” section of this page.","location":"San Francisco, CA","website":"https://www.nestment.com/","total_amount_raised":303430,"total_investors":220,"is_funded":true,"is_active":true,"quality_score":3,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/nestment","https://www.nestment.com/"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/160804/xxl_blob.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/160804/large_blob.png","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/160804/standard_blob.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/160804/standard_blob.jpg"},"links":{"company_url":"https://www.nestment.com/","linkedin_url":"https://linkedin.com/company/nestment-co/","instagram_url":"https://instagram.com/nest.ment/","youtube_url":"https://youtube.com/channel/UCkzEp_hyQmJpWBfuVCn0CDw"},"highlights":[{"id":62781,"name":"venture_backed","url":"venturebacked","presentable_name":"VC-Backed","description":"Raised $250K or more from a venture firm","image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/2021/profile-highlights-check.svg"},{"id":75537,"name":"repeat_founder","url":"repeatfounder","presentable_name":"Repeat Founder","description":"Started a prior company with $2M+ in funding or revenue","image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/2021/profile-highlights-replay.svg"}],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"$100M in home transactions in our first year growing 30% month over month."},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"78% of customers are first-time homebuyers, and 65% are buyers from communities of color."},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"Featured in national media such as the WSJ, Bankrate, Money, and a 5-minute segment on CBS Mornings."},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Reached first profitable month in Sept six months ahead of schedule ($11K per home at 80% margin)"},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"Accepted into multiple accelerators including Moderne Ventures ($500M proptech fund)."},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"Launched NestGen, the first-ever homebuying accelerator creating $100M tx pipeline in 2 months."}],"team":[{"id":5081156,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:5081156","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:4412560","role":"founder","name":"Niles Lichtenstein","title":"Co-Founder \u0026 CEO ","bio":"3x startup founder (1x exit, 1x sustainable SaaS).

Congrats on your success so far. Just a few questions: 1. What do you consider your competitive moat to be? 2. Do you have any patents either granted or pending? 3. You mentioned a lifetime value of $32,000. What are your customer-acquisition costs? How do you plan to lower those costs as you scale? 4. Apologies if I missed this somewhere, but how do you market your service to prospective buyers? 5. How much are you aiming to raise through this crowdfunding round? Is there a deadline to invest?

I am an angle investor and I am acutely familiar with Arrived model both owning properties and equity. I do have bunch of questions for you. To begin with - Are the leads called out in the campaign (Home Technology Investors, Westbound Equity Partners, New York Angels) invested in the same terms as this raise? - If couple of customers pool together and buy a duplex, one wants to live in the unit and another wants to rent it out, would Nestment help with rentals? This may be a simple use case, what happens when more than 2 owners are involved in this use case? - Arrived makes everything transparent with customers getting regular dividend check. I presume your platform brings your customers and partners together, the hassle of closing the deal and getting loans are still in the hands of customers right? - Is the SAFE valuation Post or Pre? - Are there any preference overhang and liquidation preference senior to this raise? Would love the possibility of getting on a call to deep dive as I am interested in making sizable investment.

As we continue to review your offering, we have a few key questions we’d appreciate your insights on. How do you differentiate and compete within the real estate marketplace, particularly with emerging competitors addressing similar challenges in the market? What are the legal barriers you encounter across different states, and how do you plan to navigate these challenges as you scale? Looking at your long-term strategy, which vertical in real estate do you foresee being your core focus, and where are you prioritizing your investment? Could you provide your projected revenue per transaction, and do you have any partnerships in place that will help facilitate your growth? Lastly, are the agreements you’re structuring with partners based on equity or junior debt, and how might this impact liquidity for your platform moving forward?","author_name":"Zac Stahlhut","votes":0,"created_at":"2025-03-12T17:42:58Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/nestment#question-303963","answers":[]},{"id":303750,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:303750","question":"If I understand your answer to Mariam correctly, the \"Sustained Profitability in Near Term\" chart shows actual revenue for the first bar in September 2024, then everything else is a forecast?
