This project plans to contain 2 phases:

Phase 1: May - June 2024

Sodale Group is looking to collaborate with students to prepare for a capital raise plan and business launch. Our go to market is a PropTech and private REIT play and we have been working with a core team of RIIPEN interns to help us complete the launch of this business. Many of the interns are renewing for this phase, but there may be select open roles.

Workstream 2 - will be refining our marketing approach including assisting with our planned marketing survey.

Workstream 3 - will be further refining our integrated business model and supporting our negotiations with our planned real estate developer.

About the company

Sodale Group was created after recognizing that, while society is more technologically connected than ever, we are still just as, or even more, isolated.

We have exchanged our connection to local communities for social media platform communities and have outsourced interactions that were once normal community support systems.
