Investor relations
Proof before capital.
Hutfin Global Technologies Inc. is the company behind Hutfin, the AI-powered fractional commercial real estate marketplace. Founded in 2019 in Virginia Beach and bootstrapped since the first line of code, the platform is live on the web, iOS, and Android, with brokerages listing free and verified accredited investors buying fractional shares of commercial properties. This page is the company answering for itself: what we have built, how we run it, and how to reach us.
Which investor are you?

What we have built
The marketplace
Brokers and owners list commercial properties free, in under three minutes, with no upfront cost and no hidden fees. Buyers message them directly. More than 50 brokerages list on Hutfin, with 240+ commercial listings.
The fractional product
Verified accredited investors buy shares of specific commercial properties at small ticket sizes, under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, with definitive documents for every offering. This is the product the company was founded to build.
HutFin AI
Our free AI Broker Agent answers commercial real estate questions in plain language and matches every listing to the investors most likely to want it. It runs on infrastructure we own, at hutfin.ai.
Underneath sits READOT, our proprietary record layer for verified property and ownership records : every property on Hutfin carries verified ownership and history records that anyone can check from a phone. We call it the digital passport for your property. The build behind all of it: more than 500,000 lines of code, over 200 APIs, and native apps on both stores, shipped by a team of about 20 without institutional capital.
How the platform earns
The model is deliberately lopsided. Listing is free, because a marketplace with empty shelves helps no one. The investor side of the marketplace carries the platform's fees, disclosed per offering and summarized at hutfin.com/fees. A freemium membership adds optional tools for brokers on top of the free tier. Free listings fill the shelves; the investor side pays for the store.
How we run it
Bootstrapped discipline. No institutional capital to date. The founders have committed $850K of their own money, and the company spends like it's the founders' money because it is. We'd rather ship than announce.
Compliance as product. The fractional product runs under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. Investors are verified as accredited before they invest, and every offering comes with definitive documents. We build with counsel, not around them. Full disclosures live at hutfin.com/compliance.
Records you can check. Trust on Hutfin doesn't ask for faith. Ownership and history are verified on READOT and viewable from a phone, and the same habit runs through the company: we prefer claims a reader can check.
Small by design, for now. About 20 people across eight countries, remote, written-down decisions, founder-led on every organic channel. The overhead a marketplace doesn't carry is pricing its listings don't have to pay for.

Questions investors ask
Is Hutfin a public company?
No. Hutfin Global Technologies Inc. is privately held. No security of the company trades on any exchange, and anyone offering you "Hutfin stock" is not offering anything of ours. If someone does, tell us at info@hutfin.com.
How is Hutfin funded so far?
Bootstrapped to date. The founders have committed $850K of their own capital, and the company has not taken institutional funding. We think the order matters: a marketplace should prove it works for brokers and investors before it asks anyone else for a dollar.
Is Hutfin raising capital now?
We don't announce capital plans on this page. If you are a prospective investor and want to start a conversation, write to info@hutfin.com with the subject line "Investor relations" and tell us who you are.
Can I see financials or platform metrics?
The numbers on this page are the ones we publish. Beyond them, information is shared directly with prospective investors, at the company's discretion and under NDA, as part of a conversation that starts at the same address.
Who am I talking to when I write in?
A founder reads it. We are about 20 people; investor relations is not a department, it's the people who signed the incorporation papers.
I want to invest in properties, not in Hutfin.
Then the marketplace is your page, not this one: fractional shares of commercial properties for verified accredited investors, at hutfin.com/fractional.
