Review and Ranking

None (out of 100+) Last year ranking: #18.

What is Ground Breaker?

Groundbreaker appears to have completely exited the crowdfunding platform market and is instead focusing on its private label solutions for individual sponsors. So it's ranking has been removed.

Below is the last review which is being kept for historical purposes.

---------------------------------------------------

Groundbreaker.co offers the entire spectrum of specific property investments (residential and commercial,debt and equity).

Unfortunately, the site interface is not as "polished" as competitors and it does not convey the same sense of professionalism to us. Additionally, they never responded to several of our questions.

• Advantages: Wide variety of investments.
   

• Disadvantages: We feel the site needs a makeover to give it a more professional feel. Customer support never responded to several questions. 
   

• Accolades: None

Site ranking:

• Code of Ethics: To maintain objectivity, I do not accept any money from any sponsor or platform for anything (including affiliate ads, advertising etc.). See code of ethics for more.
   

• Personal opinion only: All info is my personal opinion only as an investor. I am not a licensed financial advisor, attorney or accountant. Always do your own due diligence and consult with your own licensed professionals before making any investment decision. Information is believed to be correct but may have errors, so use at your own risk. If you find an error, please let me know.
   

• Rankings/rating are general: In my opinion, every investor comes from a different risk tolerance and financial situation, so there's no such thing as a single investment or platform that's great for everyone. There are many deals that aggressive investors love, which I won't touch, and vice versa. And every investor has their own way of doing due diligence. I believe there's no one right way to do it. 
  
  So, the site rankings/ratings are based on criteria which I feel are important to the broadest range of investors (transparency, volume, bankruptcy protection, etc). And even though I have my own personal, conservative, due diligence method (and talk about how the site's deals measure up in the "deep dive section"), I don't use my personal criteria as a factor in the rankings. So for example, a high ranking/rating doesn't mean that I would personally invest in a site (and vice versa).
