Digital economy has created new ways to buy, sell, and other modes of financing and investment; one of them is crowdfunding, a model that several firms have been incorporating. Among them, KickStarter and Indiegogo, which went on to become the platforms most used by entrepreneurs around the world to seek funds.

Its operation is simple: a new product or service is presented, a low investment and those who financially support this move obtain benefits based on the amount of money contributed.

At present, this financing method was extended to various items, including real estate.

In this case, the platforms offer the possibility of investing in a real estate development, of which each saver owns a percentage.
