At Urbanitae, we firmly believe that a good investment starts with solid education. That’s why we’re launching Urbanitae Academy, an educational platform designed to help you improve your financial knowledge and make well-informed investment decisions. The slogan of this new initiative sums up perfectly what we aim to offer our investors: “Learn gradually. Invest wisely.”
Urbanitae Academy is now available in its beta phase, with priority access for our registered users. If you’re already an Urbanitae investor, you can start exploring it today at this link.
What is Urbanitae Academy?
Urbanitae Academy is our online learning platform, designed for both beginners in the investment world and those looking to strengthen or update their knowledge. The content covers everything from the fundamentals of real estate investment and crowdfunding to broader financial education topics. Best of all: you can do it at your own pace, whenever and however you like.
The course material has been fully developed by our team of experts, in collaboration with Echtus, a company specialized in instructional design and digital training; Kwantic, a training consultancy focused on strategic learning; and Educresco, a firm specializing in educational content creation. The content is available in Spanish and English, and new modules and learning resources will be added soon based on the platform’s evolution and user feedback.
The launch of Urbanitae Academy responds to a growing need we’ve identified among our investors: to better understand the financial products they invest in, how projects are structured, what the risks are, and what role platforms like Urbanitae play in alternative financing.
As our CEO, Diego Bestard, puts it, “Urbanitae Academy is a way to empower our investors by giving them the tools they need to invest with confidence. We strongly believe in transparency and education as the cornerstones of our relationship with them.”
How can I access it?
The beta version of Urbanitae Academy is hosted on Kwantic, a next-generation learning platform that allows you to personalize your learning experience. All you need is to register with an email address and a password, and you can start your learning journey right away.
We recommend using a computer for a smoother user experience during this initial phase. We are actively working on improving performance across other devices soon.
What will you find in this first version?
This beta phase includes a single course: “Smart Real Estate Investment with Urbanitae.” The goal of this course is to ensure that any aspiring investor knows whether they are ready to start investing, understands the risks involved, and becomes familiar with the most common performance metrics.
Once the basics are covered, the course continues with an overview of the main types of investment—from stocks and bonds to real estate investment, which we explore in more detail. From there, we move into real estate crowdfunding – and crowdlending –, and how to take your first steps on Urbanitae, Europe’s leading real estate co-investment platform.
After mastering the key aspects of investing through Urbanitae, we wrap up with a chapter dedicated to the taxation of real estate investments, detailing each type of project available on Urbanitae and the applicable regulations. In short, the course covers:
- Basic concepts of investment and savings
- Understanding risk and strategies to mitigate it
- Real estate investing and the difference between crowdfunding and crowdlending
- Getting started with Urbanitae and types of available projects
- Taxation and regulations around real estate investments
Over the coming months, new content will be added and updated to cover more advanced topics and respond to the most common questions raised by our users—both investors and developers.
Your feedback matters
