1. The problem
In Cabo Verde, information on land, property, building permits and professionals is fragmented and hard to verify. Documents, procedures and contacts are scattered across informal sources, creating mistrust, delays and risk for anyone buying, building or investing - especially the diaspora and external investors.
2. The solution
A single, independent, trilingual (PT/EN/NL) platform bringing property, land, construction, professionals and official information into one ecosystem - with trust verification at its core. The goal is to make information findable, verifiable and actionable.
3. Five value levels
Information
Centralise data on property, land, procedures and official information in a clear, localised way.
Trust
Verify identities, documents and professionals in tiers, flagging what is official and what is unconfirmed.
Visibility
Give owners, professionals and projects a credible place to be found.
Transactions
Facilitate contacts, requests and deals with structured records and tracking.
Guidance
Guide users step by step through buying, building and permitting processes.
4. Market approach
to validatePhase 1 - São Vicente pilot
Validate the model on one island, focused on Mindelo, where the market and community are concentrated.
Phase 2 - Other islands
Expand to Santiago, Sal and Boa Vista, reusing processes and verification.
Phase 3 - National
National coverage and broader partnerships with public bodies and professional associations.
Phase 4 - International island states
Take the model to other island states facing similar information and trust challenges.
5. Business model
A hybrid revenue model:
- Subscriptions for professionals and businesses (profiles, tools and prominence).
- Listing and contact/lead fees on properties and land.
- Identity, document and professional verification services.
- Commissions on brokered transactions and services.
- Licences and services for public bodies (official information and digital workflows).
6. Why now & defensibility
Trust & verification data
Every verification builds a history that is hard to replicate and sets a proprietary trust standard.
Official-information partnerships
Links to official sources and bodies raise credibility and the barrier to entry.
Network effects
More users attract more professionals and listings, reinforcing value for every side.
7. Traction plan & MVP
Live trilingual platform
MVPThe platform is live in PT/EN/NL on a real backend: accounts, listings, renting, verification and official information - starting on São Vicente.
Concierge pilot
MVPOn São Vicente, run the first cases manually (verifications, listings, requests) to learn before automating.
8. The ask
We are seeking a seed funding round to run the São Vicente pilot: a small team, concierge operations, verification and product development over the first 12 months.
