Serendipia Life, Inc.
Serendipia micro ownership protocol
Proposal overview:
Serendipia is a micro-ownership protocol allowing anyone to own and share the utility, ownership, and rights to their assets (real estate).
-
Create & prototype co-living communities for millennials and GenZs to learn about their renting and ownership preferences
-
Develop tokenization of ‘timeshare’ of properties and build decentralized governance through a DAO. Enabling property owners to tokenize their assets and for anyone to become a micro-investor of those physical assets
-
Develop a micro ownership protocol that allows property owners around the world to list and tokenize their real estate assets while democratizing access to anyone to micro-own real estate assets. Physical and digital assets to be managed and governed under a fund structure
Our achievements: Raised equity and token funding totaling $450K to date
