AKRU: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

AKRU’s commercial real estate investment platform uses blockchain technology to create a secure and easy-to-use marketplace. AKRU offers investors the opportunity for fractionalized ownership for as low as $1,000 in the form of security tokens. The platform’s technology enables instantaneous transactions to be recorded on an immutable ledger, building investor trust. Tokenization shortens the transaction cycle and is able to compress the closing and settlement period of assets to mere seconds – making the world’s largest investment class more accessible and liquid for investors. Since launching the paid beta in October 2020, AKRU has secured 14 assets and over 50 investors for the marketplace. AKRU relaunched its platform in March of 2021 as the Title Sponsor for the Security Token Summit. Akru has been mentioned in major publications like Coin Telegraph, Investor.com, securities.io & Business Journals.

About FundedIQ's AKRU Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for AKRU is left off this page rather than filled in.
