The campaign, which runs until March, has raised £1.2m so far, exceeding its target.
John Goodall, CEO at Landbay, said: “We are delighted Andy Murray has invested in Landbay through our Seedrs campaign.
“Landbay helps people prosper from investing in British homes, one of the safest and best loved investment asset classes available, and the funding received from this Seedrs fundraiser will continue to help Landbay democratise investment in the sector.”
As well as Landbay, Andy has invested in Oppo Ice Cream; annual travel ticket subscription service CommuterClub; film streaming platform We Are Colony and digital magazine platform Readbug.
Andy said: “Giving recognition and support to British entrepreneurs is important to me, especially those who are the driving force behind growth-focused businesses.
“Every one of these entrepreneurs is inspirational and dedicated to their business and I’m excited to have invested in their team’s vision and work ethic.”
“To see Seedrs reach £100m on the platform and so many ambitious and dynamic businesses currently fundraising, means it’s a great start to 2016 for them as well.”
This isn’t the first time Andy has invested in British firms through the equity crowdfunding platform.
In November last year, the tennis star invested in Shavekit, which offers customers three to five razors for a monthly subscription and 3D printing company MyMiniFactory.
Jeff Lynn, CEO and Co-Founder of Seedrs, said: “It’s great to see Andy supporting British entrepreneurs so actively on Seedrs by investing in their businesses.
“Seedrs is now the most active seed-stage equity investor in the UK, and our continued growth and leading position in the market are testament to our reputation and the support from people like Andy.”
