Expanding curated access to private markets

Yieldstreet Year in Review: 2021

Onwards and Upwards

It’s been another incredible and exciting year at Yieldstreet. Our team’s remarkable successes speak to the resiliency and growth we’re capable of as an organization, even as the world continues to grapple with a global pandemic. Our community faced the uncertainty in stride, and we have so much to celebrate because of it.

Looking back at 2021, we’re closer than ever to our goal to create meaningful opportunities for our investor community across private markets. From increasing and improving our products offered through new offerings and refreshes, to growing our team to achieve our wildest 2022 ambitions, we’re helping our community invest beyond the stock market, and access previously hard to find private market investments. And the future is just getting brighter.

In 2021, we welcomed more new investors than during all previous years combined in our history. Not only is this a milestone that we are extremely proud of, but it also means that for many of you, this is your first time reading our end-of-year letter. The Yieldstreet team wishes you health and happiness in the New Year and beyond.

As always, we want to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to us at any time at[email protected].

New Investment
Products

We took additional steps to continually innovate and give our investors access to private markets and opportunities beyond the stock market.

Improved investor experiences

Beyond expanding our investment products, we spent this year prioritizing our investors' experience on the platform.

Earlier access to principal

We launched early liquidity via tender offers on our multi-asset class fund and select offerings as part of Yieldstreet’s mission to reduce barriers to private markets alternatives and we expect even more liquidity events on the platform in 2022.

Accessible minimums

Yieldstreet has not only provided greater access to private market investments, but we’ve also made them more accessible. Third-party funds offered on Yieldstreet historically require minimums of at least $250K (often more than $1M), but we’ve offered access for minimums of only $25k.

Portfolio enhancements

Throughout the year we've released a suite of enhancements to our portfolio experience to make analyzing the performance of your investments transparent and understandable.

Company Growth

Following ourSeries C in April, Yieldstreet expanded our team by 50% in 2021, to provide better service, source and vet more enticing opportunities in new asset classes, and scale our platform. In 2022, that will look like more growth to better serve our investors, and help our community continue to realize potentially meaningful returns in previously exclusive private markets.

Company-wide, the only events more popular than our happy hours were our hackathons. This year, we completed our 3rd and 4th ever — one in May, the other in December — and provided our teams a chance to iterate and imagine how Yieldstreet can better achieve its current mission and expand into new and exciting tangential ones.

Another part of that growth? Additional offices in Miami and Boston… and if you’re in NY, come visit our offices … 😉
