poll - if fundrise voted again to raise innovation fund management fee from 1.85% to 2.5% while maintaining total fund annual operating expenses at 3.2%, then would you vote "yes" to raise the mgmt fee? see pinned comment for the proposed pro forma that didn't pass in q1 '26 - please vote
fundrise innovation fund proxy statement from feb '26 containing the below screenshot & proposed pro forma:
here's an interesting 90sec video clip from super investor tom lee. his comments about spaceX are a good parallel for what he might say about VCX. 🔗 to xwitter post in body ⤵️
thank you to the 151 fundrise fans who voted! hopefully we helped ceo & VCX architect u/benmillerise dial-in the q2 '26 letter to investors. you can see what i voted for, which lost by a landside 😆 voting results attached
u/fundrise_investing u/benmillerise, vox populi, vox dei
for those questioning why fundrise is building innovation fund 2, my q2 '26 return is a clue. it's $10k (pic 2), the 1st without innovation fund since NYSE listing, & the lowest qtrly return since q4 '23, $6.7k (pic 3)

poll - i'm guessing that fundrise ceo & VCX architect u/benmillerise is hammering out the q2 '26 fundrise letter to investors. what question do you most want him to address? - please vote today. poll ends before the 250th birthday of the united states of america 🇺🇸
u/fundrise_investing ceo u/benmillerise, inquiring minds want to know
i love being right. i'm wrong a lot - just ask my girlfriend. but being correct about big things that make me & my friends, family, & strangers a lot of money is so satisfying. tbh, the whole thing is an emotional mix of good & bad, but the strongest feeling is a combo of joy & relief
if you're in my dm's (X dm's attached), then you know fundrise innovation fund 2 is coming (lfg, ben!)
if you knew me for the past 3+yrs, then you knew that i would happily pay your initial min fundrise innovation fund investment. some of you accepted $1k+ of innovation fund reimbursements from me. some of you rejected that much from me (e.g. my doctors & michelle). the ~$6k of innovation fund reimbursements i gave away to show how much i believe in fundrise was worth over $300k at high water mark
welp, here we go again. this time i don't have any equity to arbitrage so i'll have to employ some lessons learned from the r/FundriseInvestors community i built & what i learn from investing gurus like u/josephcarlsonyoutube & @fundstrat
tom leETH, i'm down big on your @BitMNR ($BMNR). thanks to u/fundrise_investing ceo & VCX architect u/benmillerise, i've lost no sleep
in fact, the only reason why i get to enjoy being right is because i've been correct about ben's character & competence
fundrise board of directors, i'm begging you. get ben a fly private service (@NetJets), free up his calendar, hire him a couple nannies, get this man 8hrs of deep sleep EVERY night!

Seems like the growth story here is probably over… VCX II
With the filing for VCX II, it seems like the NAV/Secondary is unlikely.
Fundrise is probably pissed they didn’t get their management fee increase, and VCX has served its primary purpose (bailing out the flagship fund, and an attempted bail out of the REIT funds).
This time, they can initiate the fund with the fee structure they want AND still get to use their listing like a credit card all over again.
Something tells me that shareholders won’t sign up to get taken for a ride a second time.
For anyone thinking, “Yeah, but you can still actively manage two funds”:
If you had limited placement opportunities, which fund would you choose to use to deploy capital/invest in higher quality assets - a fund that pays you lower fees, or higher fees?
Over it. Barring some wild surprise, I’m out come September.
