min $100

A Future Equity Agreement (SAFE) gives you the right to future shares in the company. If you invest, you're betting the company will be worth more than $20M eventually

After a few years of coming up with the idea, we tested it, and en up building a solid platform and business model. It's been a great journey, and we've only just begun

The purpose of Nukondo is to connect real estate developers, buyers, and brokers in one platform where new projects have the potential of becoming great buildings. These new buildings have the power to redefine the skylines of cities, for future generations to come. New construction projects are always at the forefront of innovation, raising the bar for the benefit of the entire industry. More importantly, these projects create thousands of jobs and have a tremendous economic impact, creating substantial tax revenue, which ultimately go back to the community in all sorts of ways, including schools, roads, parks, community centers, and so on

Nukondo founder Jorge Brugo and co-founder Juliana Romero, realized that the new condominium industry was relying on old school processes, and needed a new set of tools to reduce time and cost inefficiencies and risks

With a 25+ year, $3Bn+ career in real estate development, Jorge was exposed to the pain points that surround the entire process from start to finish. From acquiring the land, designing and approving a project, seeking financing, launching, marketing, selling, building, and ultimately delivering it. This 360 view enabled the creation of Nukondo to fix these problems.°

With an 12 year career in real estate brokerage, Juliana brought to the table extensive relationships with the brokerage community, which is key to achieve the pre-sales needed to break ground

Initially, the platform was born for developers to showcase projects in a simple way so buyers could search and find new residences

But as the platform evolved the relationships with other key stakeholders, including architects and designers, lawyers and title companies, lenders and originators, vendors and providers, association and property managers, started to come up as the natural evolution for the platform

The next step was to include the entire community opening up the platform to the crowd

Nukondo goal is to supplement the old school tools used by developers to serve customers, which are both slow and expensive. Sales centers and scale models are things of the past, in the digital area, with tools like augmented reality and remote meetings. The pandemic has accelerated the way buyers use the internet

Following the pandemic, Nukondo's Pilot Market Miami, has become the hottest market in the country with people flocking from the largest cities globally. The lower density, the air quality, the absence of state tax, along other measures that are all reasons why this market is thriving

These projects are built in the main gateway cities and cater to international buyers. Which means taking flights, booking hotels, and spending several days hopping from sales center to sales center only to end up exhausted, with analysis paralysis or worse a bad choice

Nukondo simplifies the buying experience enabling the research, comparison, and selection from the comfort of the buyer's own home or office. It even provides tools to bid, negotiate prices, sign contracts, and even make payments. And of course the developers can post construction updates to inform their buyers on the progress of their purchase

Most of these project are yet to be built, or at best under construction. Therefore, developers use digital renders to showcase what the building will look like and spend money in sales centers with limited exposure and traffic

Nukondo leverages these digital resources in its online platform creating a 24x7 sales center, where developers can showcase their projects everywhere.HOW IT WORKS FOR EVERYONE ELSE
