Company profile
researched Sep 2026Fractionum is a Toronto-based fractional property investment platform that allows unaccredited investors to buy fractional interests in commercial real estate. Investors can participate with as little as $100 and no upfront fees, and, unlike with a REIT, they select the specific property they wish to back, receiving direct ownership of the income associated with that asset.
The company focuses on the commercial multi-family segment, which it describes as a $5 trillion market, targeting properties with 10 or more units and ideally around 100 units. Fractionum works with established real estate operators, referred to as general partners, who source and underwrite deals and manage the properties; Fractionum's role is to run the digital investment experience and maintain regulatory compliance. It pursued an Exempt Market Dealer securities licence in Canada, a designation it said fewer than 50 firms hold, and said it would undergo annual audits at a standard comparable to a public company.
Founding story
Founder and CEO Ron Glozman is a serial entrepreneur who previously raised $15 million for an AI start-up that scaled to 75 employees. He grew up managing a six-unit apartment building in Toronto and describes his family of eight arriving in Canada from Ukraine in 1989 with $300, with real estate investing contributing to their move into the middle class. That background informed the company's stated aim of making institutional-style real estate deals reachable for ordinary investors.
Business model
Fractionum connects individual investors with real estate operators, known as general partners, who source, acquire and manage the underlying properties. The operators identify and underwrite deals and handle day-to-day operations and tenants, while Fractionum provides the digital investment platform and handles regulatory compliance. According to the company, even experienced operators are typically 15 to 20 per cent short of the capital required on a given deal and need between $1 million and $20 million within 60 to 90 days to close, a gap Fractionum aims to fill by aggregating retail investor capital.
Traction
As of August 2023 the company was pre-launch, several months from opening for business, and was collecting prospective investors on a waitlist. Its Collision mainstage appearance produced enough traffic to repeatedly crash the website. The company reported 1-10 employees and was classified at the pre-seed stage, with five employees recorded as of February 2024.

Market position
Fractionum entered the Canadian fractional real estate market as a pre-seed stage company competing with other fractional and retail real estate investment platforms, including Fractional, Groundfloor, Nectar, Zeehaus and Lofty. It differentiates on regulatory licensing and low minimums for unaccredited retail investors.
Fractionum positions itself against other fractional real estate platforms on three points: a low minimum investment of $100 with no upfront fees, availability to unaccredited investors rather than only accredited ones (generally those with $1 million in assets or $200,000 in annual income), and its pursuit of an Exempt Market Dealer securities licence with annual audits, which the company argues provides a level of investor protection many competing platforms lack. Investors also choose individual properties rather than holding a pooled vehicle such as a REIT.
Technology
Fractionum operates an online, end-to-end digital investment platform described as simple and intuitive, handling property selection, fractional ownership and the associated regulatory compliance functions.
Go-to-market
The platform is distributed digitally and direct-to-consumer, using a waitlist ahead of launch and public exposure such as startup pitch competitions. The company also solicits inbound deal flow from real estate sales representatives with properties for sale, and sources investment opportunities through relationships with established general partners.
Unaccredited retail investors in Canada, with an initial target demographic of consumers aged 18 to 50 who are comfortable investing online. On the supply side, the company works with commercial real estate operators and welcomes real estate sales representatives with properties for sale.
Geography
Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with a primary focus on the Canadian market.
History
The company was founded in 2022 in Toronto and participated in the Techstars New York City accelerator. It spent roughly 18 months and about $250,000 on the legal, accounting and compliance work required to pursue an Exempt Market Dealer securities licence in Canada, which it expected to obtain as early as September 2023. In June 2023, it was a top-three finalist at the pitch competition at the Collision conference in Toronto; founder Ron Glozman said the resulting traffic repeatedly crashed the company's website. As of August 2023 the platform had not yet formally opened for business and was operating a waitlist.
