LOS ANGELES, Calif.–March 28, 2019– PeerStreet, a marketplace for investing in real estate backed loans, is honored to announce that it has won Comparably’s 2019 Culture Awards in multiple categories, including Best Places to Work in Los Angeles and Best Outlook for 2019.
PeerStreet’s recognition by Comparably is one of several award wins by the firm in the past year, including being named one of the “2019 Best Places to Work in Financial Technology” by American Banker, and among the CB Insights Fintech 250 in 2018.
“We are excited for what this year will bring for PeerStreet as we continue to rapidly scale our platform. We’ve now surpassed $2 billion transacted and $1 billion assets under management, and the goal is to continue the amazing work our team is doing while ensuring that PeerStreet remains a place our current and future employees enjoy and are proud to work for,” said Brew Johnson, CEO of PeerStreet.
Brew Johnson founded PeerStreet alongside co-founder and COO, Brett Crosby. In December 2018, Brew was also recognized in Comparably’s Best CEO for Diversity category, which was awarded based on the company’s ongoing commitment to diversity, inclusion and a positive work environment as core values. Brew is also the recipient of the 2017 HousingWire Vanguard Award.
