Team Story
Started in late 2017, we had a discussion of combining the previous businesses together which are; online gaming and real estate. The concept is just like online casinos wherein the money doesn't leave the "house". It sparked the question, "what if we treat real estate like online gaming wherein properties doesn't leave the platform and can still be transacted anytime and anywhere?" For over 11 years of doing traditional real estate business, we've been a witness of how tedious real estate processes are in the Philippines. From the manual documentation procedures up to the issues with remittances, we've experienced it all. That's why we decided to shift the business from traditional real estate into a property technology platform because we believe that everything is going digital -- and real estate is not an exception. For over a year, we've gathered up reputable team members that helped us develop the product in order for us to achieve our goal -- which is to make real estate easy and accessible for everyone providing fast, low-cost and secure way of doing real estate transactions. Starting this journey is very difficult because we are challenging one of the most traditional industry. There's a lot of resistance from real estate stakeholders and from regulators, but difficult doesn't mean impossible. Now, we are about to launch our product, we've got traction from the industry stakeholders and gearing towards becoming the first ever Digital Asset Exchange in the Philippines.

If the above being the case, why is there a need to go into blockchain? It will be business as usual without blockchain isn't it?

Hi Clemen,
Thanks for your input.
About that, those numbers are from our previous company, which is Capitarise Corporation. That previous business is more focus into the real estate Primary Market wherein we are dealing with pre-selling of pre-develop properties from Developers.
We shifted our business from primary market to the secondary real estate market because we see that the Philippine real estate market is already entering this stage. Most of the clients that we have are no longer buying properties because they are now looking to sell those properties that they bought 5 to 10 years ago.
With regards to why is there a need to go blockchain? I'm not sure if you've been in the Philippines before, but most of the processes and transactions here are all manual, tedious and jurassic. We've been dealing with foreign clients since 2008 and it's very hard not only for us, but also for them to process paper works, verify the documents to ensure it's not fake, they also have to go back and forth, in and out of the country to process the transaction and sometimes it's resulting them to back out.
We want to use our background and expertise in real estate business and leverage the use of blockchain technology to innovate how real estate transactions in the Philippines are being done. We want to cut those paper works, cut costs for these clients and provide much better liquidity for the Philippine real estate market.
If there are still things that you still would like to clarify, we can definitely discuss those things.
Looking like a great IEO in coming days and having a good idea behind it.
But softcap and hardcap both are huge numbers hopefully team may be able to raise that much and came with the things they stated.
