Fractionalizing The World For You
FOHO is the Fractional Ownership of Homes.
It is a blockchain-based real estate platform for fractional ownership of residential and commercial rest estate assets.
Co-founded by Vijay Thomas, Roshan D’Silva and backed by Tangentia and Tripvillas, (two well-known players in the Technology and Vacation-Rental space, respectively); it is our mission to democratize real estate by combining the power of blockchain technology with the benefits of fractional ownership to create a platform that lets you have the best of all worlds.
We believe in the benefits of a shared economy. The goal is to build a transparent and trust-incentivizing system that democratizes real estate, making it more accessible people globally.
Today’s fractional ownership and timeshare solutions are developer-driven and accountability is low and dependent on the solvency of the system. Customers are courted with various promises on yield, future potential etc. but cannot organize themselves to discuss and diligence such deals together and have no way to demand accountability.
Post the actual purchase; usage of the properties and the income generated from them are opaque and require extensive planning defeating the premise of owning a second home. With FOHO we aim to build a more transparent ecosystem that uses the wisdom of crowds to uncover deals, hold sellers and property managers accountable and make using a shared property a stress-free experience.
FOHO comprises 4 pillars. You can participate in the ecosystem my purchasing FOHO Coin, our cryptocurrency and the lifeblood of the FOHO ecosystem. FOHO Haus and FOHO Work are blockchain-based residential and commercial real estate marketplaces, respectively. FOHO Club enables you to share usage of these assets or experiences.
The launch of FOHO Coin was the first step towards unfolding our ecosystem. Prior to the launch, we hit exceeded a softcap of 2.2 million USD from private placement investors. FOHO Coin is now listed on Bitbns and Uniswap.
FOHO was labelled as the 'Future of Shared Real Estate' by major publications like Coin Crunch India, Bitcoin.com, Hindustan Times, Livemint, etc. They were also rated #1 cryptocurrency to invest in 2021 by Analytics Insight Magazine
