Commenting on the move, Sugden noted: “True wealth creation opportunities have been either too expensive or off limits for most investors. YieldStreet is going after this market in a way the best innovators do.
“They are building a multi-product platform that brings a new level of investing inclusion to those looking to build wealth and save for their future.
“The impressive and highly capital efficient revenue growth, paired with a proven product-market fit and strong founding team compelled us to become a part of expanding this movement.”
In the fundraising, Edison was joined by Greenspring Associates, along with existing backers Raine Ventures and a large unnamed multi-billion dollar family office.
