The story

Founded in 2014 by Ryan Williams and the Kushner brothers, Cadre started as a B2B software company to modernize commercial real estate capital workflows. It pivoted into a direct-access investment marketplace modeled on making real estate 'more like the stock market,' enabling smaller institutional checks on individual deals. The platform expanded to retail-adjacent investors with its 2020 Direct Access fund and secondary market, before being acquired by Yieldstreet to become part of a broader alternative investment platform.
