In 2018, EquityMultiple secured venture funding from a group of real estate and finance professionals, including Kenneth Pasternak, co-founder of Knight Capital Group.[4] The same year, the company partnered with real estate developer Youngwoo & Associates to launch an investment fund dedicated to Opportunity Zone investments.[5][6]

In 2023, EquityMultiple formed a partnership with Marcus & Millichap, a commercial real estate brokerage firm.[10][11][12][13][14] In January 2024, Marcus & Millichap made an equity investment in EquityMultiple.[15] The partnership also coincided with the formation of EquityMultiple Investment Partners (EMIP), focusing on the supply side of the platform.[16]
