The client turned to Unicsoft with the idea of creating a transparent and trusted platform for enabling fractional ownership of diamonds.
The idea was to create a platform that democratizes high-value asset investing for investors worldwide. The platform would source highly-vetted assets – previously only available to the ultra-wealthy, fractionalize them and offer shares to investors worldwide.
Other investment platforms have focused on art, wine, cars, real estate, and other alternatives – you name it! But there is a vacant niche: precious gemstones. The vacant niche is Kimby’s starting point.
Kimby wants to unlock access to investing in unique gemstones to US and non-US accredited investors, and in future product functions tokenize the shares for secondary market mechanisms. Also, the platform had to provide different types of specific services, including diamond verification, logistics, storage, and selling.
Precious gemstones have commonly been compared to verticals of private bonds and real estate but due to high entry barriers, like lack of transparency, painful price points, lack of accessibility, and inexistence of secondary market mechanisms, it makes it very challenging for investors to allocate to this asset class.
Demand for alternative assets, like precious gemstones is growing, but the everyday investor cannot allocate to this asset class. This is where Kimby comes in.
Unicsoft focused on the platform’s vision to allow accredited investors worldwide to invest in precious gemstones, like fancy pink diamonds, by buying shares in them.
