About
Groundbreaker — now operating as Janover Connect — is a purpose-built real estate syndication and investor management platform tailored for general partners, fund managers, and syndicators. The platform centralizes every aspect of the investor lifecycle, from initial fundraising to ongoing reporting and tax document delivery.

The Investor Portal gives LPs a self-service experience with transparent access to performance reports and documents. The Fundraising Automation module streamlines the entire subscription process, from publishing offerings to receiving commitments. K-1 Sharing automates the parsing and secure delivery of tax statements, matching documents to investment entities and distributing them to the right investors without manual intervention.

Deal Rooms support the due diligence and closing process. Janover Connect is ideal for real estate syndicators managing multiple assets and investor relationships who want to reduce administrative overhead, eliminate manual errors, and provide a professional, institutional-grade experience for their LPs.
