Housing.
Boring. Scalable. Infinite.
We forward-purchase multifamily at construction cost and convert it into perpetual yield infrastructure.
Raising $5M Seed
The Problem
Capital is stuck.
Housing doesn't have to be.
Post-SVB, regional banks retreated. Developers with shovel-ready projects can't close their capital stacks.
$5T in pension capital needs 7%+ returns but can't stomach 10-year lockups. They're buying T-Bills at 4.5% and watching their liabilities grow.

Why Now
The window is open.
1. Bank Retreat
Regional bank CRE exposure is at historic highs. Regulators are forcing pullback. Construction lending has dropped 40% YoY.
2. Rate Normalization
As rates decline, a liquid 8% total return becomes increasingly attractive vs. duration-matched alternatives.
3. Pension Pressure
Public pensions are 20% underfunded on average. They need yield, but core RE funds have 2-year redemption queues.
"The rails exist. 144A. ATS registration. Institutional custody. We're not inventing infrastructure—we're using it."
The Product
The Yield Strip.
Perpetual claim on NOI. Priced at cost. Boring by design.

Valuation Logic
Gordon Growth Model:
Value = NOI / (r - g)
Value = $1.85M / (8% - 3%)
Value = $1.85M / 5%
Value = $37.1M
Entry at $30M = 24% margin of safety
Business Model
Toll booth economics.

Year 5 Target
1% penetration. 60 deals. $30M avg.
Platform revenue at 1% penetration: +$22M/year, stacking forever.
The Unlock
Zero churn.
Buildings don't cancel.
Infrastructure Economics
This isn't SaaS. Customers don't churn.
This isn't PE. Assets don't exit.
Yield Strips are perpetual.
The building stays. The NOI flows.
Forever.
Redemptions transfer ownership between investors. The asset never leaves the platform. Every deal closed is permanent ARR.

PHASE II // CLASSIFIED
Project Javelin.
Saturate the airwaves of capital into housing.
The Opportunity
Post-war reconstruction: $500B+
Housing alone: $100B+
Western capital wants in.
But there's no structure.
No rails. No liquidity. No exit.
We are the rails.
Why This Matters
The same structure that works for US multifamily works for any housing market with rule of law and enforceable property rights.
EU accession means Ukraine will have both.
Pensions can't write checks to "rebuild Ukraine." But they can buy Yield Strips on Kyiv apartments generating 8% forever.
The Vision
Boring. Scalable. Infinite.
Everywhere.
