人們常忘記，要創立一間真正成功的企業是多麼困難。 創業並不是一條直路，一如IG、Airbnb和Pinterest，他們都是經過迂迴曲折，最後才變成資產超過10億美元的大企業。 Airbnb一開始，兩位創辦人連辦公室租金都付不起，參展只接到兩張訂單，後來甚至得靠賣一盒40美元的栗片來維持生計。... | By 老占同學會 | Facebook | Through technology, the world of real estate investments is changing. Worth a mere 15 billion dollars today. The online real estate market is expected to grow to over 800 billion dollars by twenty twenty-seven. That's a compound annual growth rate of almost 60% or fifty times greater than it is today. Making this one of the most attractive growth stories of our generation. Across the world, 1% of the adult population control 45% of global wealth. Much of that is made and almost always preserved through real estate investments. Meanwhile, the next 9% of the world's adult population, that's over 400 million people have investable funds of between $100,000 and a million dollars. They control over 40% of global wealth. Yet, this demographic struggle to invest in anything apart from standard products like equities, bonds, and funds. This is because they don't have the required amount of capital to access lucrative real estate deals and they lack the expertise to carry out the due diligence. So they're stuck with mainstream investment products and mediocre returns. In the future, investors everywhere will be able to invest directly into global real estate at the press of a button on their smartphone. They will do this on a fractional basis. So an investor with 5,000 pounds will have the same opportunities as an investor with 5 million pounds. Well, to the future. Shojin is a leading player in this space having mastered the art of using technology to fractionalize investments and reach a global network of investors while at the same time applying traditional asset management techniques to review new projects and carry out detailed due diligence. Investors like an alignment of interest so Shojin has developed a unique model. We co-invest in every project and we oversee it from start to end and then we share profits at the end rather than taking large upfront fees. This has enabled us build a profitable business with a global network of investors in over thirty countries. While Shojin is currently UK focused, it has built a foundation for global deals through regional offices. In Hong Kong and East Africa and soon in India and the Middle East. Imagine a world where someone sitting in Argentina could invest into a co-living scheme in India or someone in Canada could invest into a new apartment complex development in East Africa. Technology has enabled the true democratization of investments and wealth. But this is just the beginning of a multi-billion dollar industry. We're now ready to raise funding for the next stage of our growth and we invite you to join us. Sign up now to attend the launch of our series A.
