Ever wondered what it’s like to pitch your business in just two minutes? SolidBlock, along with Draper VC and Propy, Inc., hosted a pitch competition on July 18, where five Real Estate Tokenization startups pitched their big ideas. The judges included the legendary venture capitalist Tim Draper; SolidBlock’s CEO Yael Tamar and President Laura Brighten; and Propy’s CEO Natalia Karayaneva.
If you weren’t able to attend, here’s a link with the rundown on the companies that presented their visions for the future of the real estate.
Hosted by Stonks.com, a startup that provides access to competitive, invite-only startup events on the “front page” of startup investing, the event drew a capacity crowd of 300 attendees at live event. There were about 40 intros made with investors that generated $2.3 M in investment interest for the startups.
SolidBlock, Tim Draper, and Propy
In early 2022, SolidBlock completed an initial raise of seed money led by Tim Draper and his fund, Draper Associates.
Tim Draper is the founder of Draper Venture Network, Draper Associates, and Draper Goren Holm, and holds prominent investments in Hotmail, Skype, Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, DocuSign, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Focus Media. A proponent of Bitcoin and decentralization and author of How to be The Startup Hero: A Guide and Textbook for Entrepreneurs and Aspiring Entrepreneurs (2017), Tim received wide coverage for his 2014 purchase of seized bitcoins at a US Marshals Service auction.
Propy has also received support from Tim Draper. A real estate firm with a difference, Propy has led the way in selling private homes as NFTs. Just click, click, and close. In a recent Forbes article, Natalia writes about how NFTs, Web3, and blockchain are transforming the housing market. And thanks for mentioning SolidBlock!
