Embracing the future of Real Estate Investment: our Investment in Piece

Today, we are thrilled to share our latest investment in Piece, an innovative real estate investment platform that is set to revolutionise the way people invest in properties.

Investing in Piece was a natural choice for us. As our investment thesis outlines, we think that traditional real estate investment options can be dull and prohibitively expensive, creating barriers for many, especially the younger generation. In fact, nearly three-quarters of Americans say owning a home is the highest measure of achievement in life and 72% of millennials are interested in buying a home but think that can’t afford one.

Beyond accessibility, Piece brings transparency and security to real estate investing. Their innovative platform leverages technology to streamline the investment process and ensure transparency throughout the entire journey. It enables investors to easily buy and sell fractional ownership shares, offering flexibility and access to liquidity. This forward-thinking approach aligns with our vision for the future of real estate investment, where individuals can navigate the market with ease and efficiency.

Central to our decision to partner with Piece is the exceptional team driving the platform’s success. Led by Japanese entrepreneur Kentaro Sohara, along with co-founders Lorenzo Dellarossa and Riccardo Momigliano, Piece combines a wealth of expertise in product development and go-to-market strategy. Their passion, coupled with their successful track record, instils confidence in their ability to execute their vision and reshape the real estate investment landscape.

As the leading investor in Piece’s €650.000 pre-seed funding round, together with other notable investors such as East Ventures and Gaiax, and angel investors from Italy, Singapore, and Japan, we are committed to providing more than just capital. We will actively collaborate with the Piece team, offering strategic guidance, resources, and industry expertise to support their growth and maximise their potential for success. Together, we aim to redefine real estate investment and create a future where everyone has equal opportunities to participate and prosper.
