Miami, FL-based WORLD PROPERTY VENTURES (WPV), a global real estate technology development company, is preparing to launch a $100 million capital raise under SEC Regulation D Rule 506(c) in the coming months, according to founder Michael Gerrity.

Positioned as the “Anti-VC” of the global real estate industry, WORLD PROPERTY VENTURES develops, funds, and scales proprietary platforms and technologies internally rather than investing in outside third-party startups. Its ‘ideation-to-exit’ strategy is designed to generate asymmetric shareholder value while eliminating the traditional 2 percent annual management fee for the life of the fund charged by most venture capital general partners.
“Unlike traditional VC firms that collect a 2 percent annual fund management fee regardless of a fund’s performance over a typical 7-to-10-year hold period, WPV gets paid only when we deliver results,” Gerrity said. “Our fee model takes a 2 percent annual revenue share from the operating portfolio companies we have funded (with co-investors), built, launched, and successfully scaled — aligning our incentives directly with the shareholder value being created in each portfolio company’s growth, rather than on GP overhead or large salaries paid long before (or if ever) delivering alpha to LPs.”
Operating at the intersection of Main Street real estate, Silicon Valley innovation, Wall Street finance, and DARPA-caliber disruption, WPV builds companies from scratch –without fear, favor, entrenched industry biases, agendas or dogmas — that tackle systemic market inefficiencies, costs, fragmentation, and analog friction across the $654 trillion global real estate value chain. Its focus spans AI-driven marketplaces, information ecosystems, data infrastructure, and digital token exchanges — the core “rails” needed to power the world’s AI-driven real estate economy of tomorrow.
The company’s current operational companies include GLOBAL LISTINGS, the world’s largest online real estate shopping engine, hosting and promoting more than 3 million active property listings across 112 countries each month and growing.
Future ventures in the development pipeline include WPC TV, the world’s first global real estate news and lifestyle streaming platform; WORLD PROPERTY EXCHANGE, a real estate token exchange; BLOCKTITLE, a blockchain-based property title system; and REAL ESTATE PREDICTIONS, a DeFi-powered forecasting marketplace.
The upcoming $100 million raise will target strategic corporates, family offices, and ultra-high net worth individuals, offering investors priority co-investment rights in future WORLD PROPERTY VENTURES spinouts from early-stage rounds through pre-IPO financing.
“The timing is optimal,” Gerrity said. “Major industry disruptions are when generational fortunes are created. With AI, blockchain, automation, and tokenization set to redefine real estate in the next decade, the window for investing in asymmetric future returns is now.”
