About FF Forest
FF Forest is a crowdfunding platform focused on forest project financing, operating under an Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) license in Estonia since 2025. The platform is unregulated in Latvia and holds no PSFP supervision or FCMC license. As of Q1 2026, FF Forest has approximately 1,700 registered investors and has financed EUR 6.7 million in projects, primarily in Lithuania offering 2% cashback returns. The founding team, led by Gunars Udris (former co-founder of Crowdestor), relies on partnerships with Timbro (forestry management) and Apply (AI equipment). However, several material risks warrant attention: the platform remains unaudited with no performance history, its founder is associated with Crowdestor which shows a 67.5% default rate as of May 2026, and an active beyondp2p warning (May 2026) advises caution pending full review. No defaults are reported on FF Forest itself to date, but financial health remains opaque with limited disclosure on solvency or capitalization structure.
