Problem
Traditional real estate investing requires substantial capital, limiting access for most individuals who cannot afford direct property ownership. Investors seeking portfolio diversification through tangible assets often face high entry barriers, complex processes, and limited access to exclusive or off-market opportunities.
Solution
Ovolus provides a regulated crowdfunding platform that connects investors with curated real estate and hospitality projects, allowing participation from as little as €500. The platform structures each project through an intermediary company, with investors receiving shares issued directly in their name, ensuring clear ownership and ring-fenced risk per project. Funds are held in a secure escrow account and only transferred to the project if the campaign is successful. Ovolus charges no fees to investors, with all costs borne by project owners, and offers access to off-market properties before they go public.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual investors over 18 years old and legal entities from eligible countries seeking accessible real estate and hospitality investment opportunities, as well as project owners looking for alternative funding sources.
