One Cup Coffee & Tea

What One Cup Coffee & Tea does

One Cup Coffee & Tea, operating as OneCup.io, is a Seongnam, South Korea-based private startup founded in 2023 that is developing a real estate fractional investment platform. The platform is designed to connect multiple countries' real estate markets into a single interface, enabling individual investors to acquire fractional ownership interests in international property assets that would otherwise be inaccessible due to high capital requirements. The company positions itself as addressing two linked frictions: the high minimum capital threshold for direct real estate investment and the operational difficulty of accessing cross-border property markets for individual investors.

The product surface, as disclosed in available sources, is a single unified web platform (onecup.io) with no native mobile app, API, or SDK referenced. The platform integrates with an accelerator partner (Y&Archer) for R&D collaboration and global expansion support, and the company has secured three funding rounds between October 2024 and April 2025 from Y&Archer, the TIPS Program, and an undisclosed investor, with all amounts undisclosed. The company operates with an 11-50 employee headcount and is led by founder and CEO Sophie Choi.

The business model mechanics — including how the company captures economics (transaction fees, management fees, spreads, or other structures), pricing, target investor segments, supported jurisdictions, and regulatory licensing — are not disclosed in available source material. The partnership with Y&Archer is explicitly intended to support platform development and a global expansion strategy, and the company is reported as actively operating, but the platform does not appear to have reached disclosed commercial launch.

Direct peers

• Lofty: AI-driven US-based platform offering fractional ownership of rental properties. Directly comparable business model (fractional real estate investing via a unified digital platform) with the same target customer segment of retail investors seeking diversified real estate exposure.
• Arrived Homes: US-based platform enabling fractional ownership of single-family rental homes for retail investors. Comparable model of enabling low-minimum fractional real estate purchases through a digital marketplace with a similar retail-investor value proposition.
• Fundrise: Large US real estate investment platform offering fractional exposure to private real estate funds and individual properties. Closest scaled analogue to OneCup's model, with broader asset offerings but a similar digital wealth platform approach to real assets.
• RealT: Tokenized US real estate platform enabling fractional ownership via blockchain-based tokens. Directly comparable in its goal of lowering the barrier to real estate investment and enabling global participation through a digital fractional ownership structure.
• Reental: Tokenized real estate investment platform operating across multiple countries (Spain, Dominican Republic, Colombia). Closest direct peer given its cross-border fractional real estate focus, similar to OneCup's stated global marketplace model.
• CrowdStreet: US online marketplace for private commercial real estate investments, offering fractional and pooled investment opportunities. Comparable as a digital platform intermediating real estate investments for individual and institutional investors.
• RealtyMogul: US platform offering fractional real estate investment opportunities across commercial and residential properties. Similar model of intermediating real estate investments online, though more US-focused than OneCup's global ambitions.
• EquityMultiple: US real estate investment platform providing access to private commercial real estate deals with low minimums. Comparable digital platform intermediating real estate opportunities to investors seeking fractional exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Yieldstreet: US-based broader alternative investments platform with real estate as a core asset class. Less specialized than OneCup but operates a similar digital wealth platform model giving retail investors access to alternatives including real estate.
• Masterworks: US platform offering fractional ownership of blue-chip artworks, now expanding into adjacent alternative asset classes. Comparable fractional ownership digital wealth platform structure but focused on art rather than real estate.
