Co-Owners Around the World

PlanetDAO brings together individual investors from 23 countries and counting.
What unites them is a shared passion for cultural preservation and the desire to be part of something meaningful — not just as investors, but as co-owners shaping the future.

Vanessa C.

Singapore / Tokyo

I think many young people are interested in investing these days as wage growth is low. However, we can think of assets and stock exchanges as money vending-machines, when they represent real relationships between people and material life. I joined PlanetDAO in hopes that it can help us rethink what it means to invest in something, and what value can be created for communities and places when we do so.

Jeff Galano

Philippines

I joined PlanetDAO because it gave me an opportunity to start investing in Japan while learning how heritage preservation can be made sustainable for future generations. I'm particularly interested in understanding how these preservation efforts work, as many of the lessons could potentially be applied to historic and cultural structures in the Philippines as well.

Koji Takao

Japan, Tokyo

Unlike crowdfunding or other real estate funds, PlanetDAO is the unique way to have an ownership in irreplaceable properties and preserve Japanese culture and heritage for future generations.

Steve Beauchamp & Kylie Ransom

USA, New Mexico

Saw an opportunity to help preserve a piece of history and were inspired by the mission of PlanetDAO.

Sho Tsuneki

Spain, Barcelona

I am curious about being part of a community with a strong interest in authentic Japanese culture. At the same time, I expect at least a market-rate return on investments. I am also intrigued by the future potential of DAO’s business model, particularly in terms of leveraging decentralized finance through the tokenization of property. This approach can create liquidity and foster a new type of borderless community.

Asami Oyama

Netherlands, Rotterdam

The reason for my investment is that I believe I can contribute to a new way of preserving Japan’s precious cultural heritage while passing on the thoughts and feelings of the people living there, as well as the legacy that has been inherited over time.

Donatas Koerfer

Japan, Fukuoka

The purpose to renovate and bring new life to historical places around Japan had me intrigued and I wanted to be a part of it.

Charles Kwan

China, Hong Kong

Would love to see how the process of preserving these storied properties into something that can be of contribution to the community and shared to more people.

Claudia Karolina Hofmaier

Singapore

I chose to invest in this project because it aligns with my values and feels deeply meaningful to me, prioritizing ethics and positive impact to the community and the greater good. It also interested me because I love to travel and hope to visit the place soon.

Julio Marques de Barros

UK, Birmingham

I studied abroad in Japan during my school years. When I stayed at an old house in Nara during my honeymoon, I saw many abandoned temples and vacant houses around. I really want to preserve Japan's wonderful customs and culture.

Daniel Low

Singapore

An affordable and meaningful initiative — a chance to support the local community, preserve Japanese cultural heritage, and help breathe new life into a countryside village.

Abeer Amro

USA, Texas

In my home country, people and buildings were lost due to war. While I couldn't save my own culture, I want to help preserve Japan's culture, which I deeply respect.
