NOKK is a legitimate Australian real estate platform founded by an experienced entrepreneur (Ben Voltz, ex-ROKT), launching around 2018. However, the project submission contains hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone'). While verified data from 2019 indicates ~11,000 users and a $2M capital raise, the lack of significant recent news suggests growth has stalled compared to the submission's implied scale. The ambiguous 'marketcap: 500000' figure and lack of verifiable current metrics heavily impact the score, despite the functional utility of the off-market property solution.

Description
NOKK is Australia’s pioneering digital platform where homeowners and buyers connect. NOKK empowers owners and buyers to control their individual experience and timing in the property market. They choose to communicate on their terms. We provide a ‘light touch’ approach to real estate, allowing owners to ‘dip a toe’ in without needing to heavily commit. Owners gain visibility into the real demand for their property without having to spend anything. NOKK is a two sided property platform. Owners make their properties discoverable by loading property profiles. Buyers put their buying desires to work by creating a buyer profile. We then match owners, should they wish, to willing buyers. NOKK has removed barriers for owners and gives them a new, low stress channel to market. NOKK gives buyers access to a hidden market of properties that are otherwise not on the market. Buyers NOKK on properties, owners choose to accept the NOKK, then they are connected. NOKK provides access to trusted service providers so both owners and buyers can obtain assistance to prepare and transact successfully. We are making properties discoverable. Join the movement.
