Congrats to the Blocksquare team! Approving the marketplace pool application for Pieme is a significant milestone, showcasing the continuous growth and dedication within the Blocksquare ecosystem. It’s exciting to see our community play an active role in supporting innovative projects and driving forward our shared vision. Kudos to everyone involved for their hard work and commitment to fostering a thriving marketplace!
I’m definitely in support of this marketplace proposal. One of the things that really makes blocksquare shine is it’s global compliancy. I would think this protocol is a real benefit to Ugandan people. Democratizing real estate investment for them. Can’t wait to see this go through
Pieme is a management platform for investors that invests in Pieme residences which are community owned hotel apartments powered by blockchain.
There are challenges.
For instance, there are constraints in finances: it takes a lot of money to invest in the hotel industry so it’s a preserve of the elite, very wealthy individuals.
The solution is to fractionalize the hotel industry. Instead of investing or owning a whole hotel you can invest in a room, or even a fraction of a room for any size of investment, starting from as little as $150.
Also management, maintenance and marketing is also a challenge for many people.
That’s where Pieme comes in: it’s a team of professionals that have been in the industry running, managing the hotel business for quite some time, with a combined experience of more than 20 years.
In assembling the team, Josh looked for people who are passionate in different areas, but who also had similar problems to address. It’s primarily people who have experience in the hotel industry, previous hotel managers. People in finance. Lead developer who has had interest in blockchain. Essentially, it was important that they have passion for what they do, and that they believe in the project.
Pieme’s goal is to become a leader in the African market. This is looking to be within 4 or 5 of the East African countries in the next couple years, and to have 3 to 5 residences in each country that should accommodate about 150 to 200 different hotel rooms.
Blocksquare will be instrumental in this by offering a built out infrastructure with a white label platform that will be delivered if the campaign is successful.
PIEME pronounced /paimi/ is a management platform for investors who invest in PIEME residency. Co-founded by Josh, PIEME residencies are community owned hotel rooms. PIEME aims to fractionalize the ownership of hotel residencies so that anyone can get into the hotel business with as low as $150.
Some of the challenges faced in entering the hotel business include and PIEME’s Solutions
Financial Constraint: not many people have the capital to fund or start up a hotel, making it difficult for just anyone to go into it, however, PIEME fractionalizes ownership so anyone can earn from the hotel residency.
Monitoring/management: most hotel owners lack the expertise in managing and monitoring their hotels but with PIEME real time financial reports can be gotten and investors can track their investments.
High Entry Barriers: this barrier is mostly financial. With just $150, PIEME makes it possible to invest in a hotel room and earn daily from it.

Learnt a couple of things about Pieme from the recent Block-Chat episode! Here’s some of it;
Pieme is a management platform for investors who invest in pieme residences (community owned hotel apartments powered by Blockchain)
Potential investors are faced with a couple of challenges in the hotel sector. The main challenges faced in the hotel industry include limited access to hotel investments and high entry barriers for hotel ownership. Pieme aims to solve these problems by fractionalizing hotel ownership, allowing individuals to invest in hotel apartments for as little as $150. This democratisation provides accessibility and inclusivity, enabling anyone to participate in the lucrative hotel industry regardless of their financial capacity.
Josh assembled the Pieme team by looking for people with similar interests who have passion for what they do and who believe in the future of what is being done at Pieme. The team has a total of 25-30 years of experience in the hotel business. It is made up of a team of previous hotel managers with experience, a legal team that is well experienced in the real estate and hospitality sector, a development team, a Blockchain team, and a team of engineers focused on the construction side
Pieme’s goal is to break down barriers and open doors to hotel investments, traditionally reserved for the wealthy elites. Blocksquare brings with it, a team with a lot of experience in the web3 sector, the Blocksquare community, the exposure, and having the right partners onboard. Pieme decided to launch through Blocksquare’s marketplace pool because of the need to be part of a community that understands the industry that is being explored by Pieme
Tokenization of real world assets is still a somewhat foreign concept in Africa. Do you think this will have some negative effect on PIEME, if so how do you tend to solve this.
I am most excited about PIEME in Uganda, I can’t wait for it to spread it’s tentacles to other African countries. PIEME in Africa will revolutionize the real estate market by opening up the tourism and hospitality sector to development.
Quite a number of challenges, however the same challenges present alot of opportunities, in Uganda forexample there are 10 National Parks and 11 game reserves with less than 5000 lodges around them, tourists are more than the available rooms, so many end in Airbnbs and accommodation fees are crazy high, looking at this, at Pieme we are looking to capitalize on this available market to make the best for our investors. Lets stake our tokens to expose the opportunity of investing in the hotel rooms available to many accross
