NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Real estate fintech platform Elevate.Money today announced former NFL running back, entrepreneur and philanthropist Todd Gurley as its newest investor and member of its brand advisory team. Launched in September 2021, Elevate.Money's investment platform enables investors to gain exposure to real estate through fractional ownership starting with as little as $100. Gurley, former running back for the Los Angeles Rams, was connected to Elevate.Money through multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and humanitarian YG who previously joined the company's brand advisory team. 

"I'm partnering with Elevate.Money because of their commitment to financial literacy and my confidence in the team they have built around the company," said Gurley. "When I heard the vision from Harold (Hofer) and Sachin (Jhangiani), it resonated with me at a point in my life when I did not know where, what or how to start investing in my future self. I've been in many young investors' shoes today. I'm excited to use my platform for the better of the world and show that you don't have to have a tremendous amount of money to invest in real estate thanks to a solid platform like Elevate."

Elevate.Money offers the same type of Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) investment as does Blackstone, one of the largest real estate owners in the U.S.  The difference is that Elevate focuses on a younger generation of investors who've been conditioned to manage money directly through online platforms. The same minds behind Acorns' modern user experience designed Elevate.Money's easy-to-use, sleek, Venmo-like interface. The company's largest user segment is millennials, and the average user is 38 years old.

"Todd's investment further solidifies the building excitement about our business model and platform," said Sachin Jhangiani, co-founder and CMO of Elevate.Money. "We're thrilled to have a prominent sports figure and influencer like Todd on board. He shares our belief that everyone should have the same tools to build their wealth regardless of their income level or background. We believe Todd will help us build our platform and craft messaging that speaks directly to the next generation of investors."

The company's focus is on Single Tenant Net Lease (STNL) properties such as dollar stores, fast-food restaurants, car washes, and gas stations. STNL real estate relies on one tenant paying 100% of the property's rent and expenses. Elevate.Money thoroughly reviews each property through its proprietary financial model, Elevate Lens+, which is shared with investors on its website.
