Cadre Announces Strategic Partnership with DisruptAD for International Expansion

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, 24 June 2021, (BUSINESS WIRE):

DisruptAD, one of the region’s largest venture platforms, announced a strategic investment in Cadre, a US-based technology-driven real estate investment platform that provides individuals the opportunity to invest alongside institutions in high-quality commercial real estate assets. The investment comes after Cadre has raised capital from investors including Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Ford Foundation, General Catalyst and others. DisruptAD’s investment is from the Ghadan Ventures fund, which aims to support promising startups from around the globe to expand their footprint to Abu Dhabi and across the broader region. As part of this partnership, Cadre will be expanding its corporate footprint to Abu Dhabi, and will work closely with DisruptAD to expand access for investors in the region to commercial real estate in the United States, and vice versa.

This partnership follows the recent announcement of the Cadre Direct Access Fundⁱ, which offers individuals a curated portfolio of commercial assets with lower minimums, lower feesⁱⁱ, better underwriting, and a potential for liquidityⁱⁱⁱ that was never available to individual investors. The Cadre Direct Access Fund is also designed to accommodate investors in regions outside the United States, and DisruptAD’s investment will enable Cadre to expand its reach to individual investors in international markets.

Ryan Williams, Cadre’s co-founder and CEO, said, "We’re grateful to DisruptAD for their partnership and support as we continue to grow our company. We were founded on the belief that all investors should have access to institutional quality assets, and we’re well on our way to making this goal a reality. We also see enormous potential in providing access to more investors everywhere, and this partnership is a big step forward on that journey."
