Meet the man behind Revolution Precrafted, the Philippines’ first unicorn
True to his start-up’s name, Revolution Precrafted, Robbie Antonio believes he’s starting a revolution with his property business. Established in December 2015, Revolution Precrafted marries Antonio’s dream to fuse his experience in constructing exclusive buildings with his passion for contemporary art. Result: highly customizable prefabricated properties such as modular homes, condominiums, pavilions, pop-up retail stores, and fitness centers.
The start-up’s innovativeness has helped attract many investors, with accelerator 500 Startups pouring money in early 2017 and bringing the company’s valuation to US$256 million, followed by a fresh round of funding led by Singaporean venture capital firm K2 Global that took the start-up over the billion-dollar mark and made it the first start-up in the Philippines to achieve a unicorn status.
At the moment, they have about six residential communities in the Philippines such as Batulao Artscapes in Batangas, Revolution Flavorscapes in Pampanga, Revolution Hill in Rizal province with a footprint in 31 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, North, South, and Central America.
