Marek Zmysłowski and the vision of Samana

The leader of the project is Marek Zmysłowski, a well-known entrepreneur and investor, author of the book ‘Chasing Black Unicorns’. Today, his biggest passion and life’s project is building a private city on the Samana peninsula.

The project focuses on addressing three common problems of investing in exotic locations: lack of spatial planning, low-quality infrastructure, and absence of lifestyle design. The uniqueness of Samana’s vision is a focus on luxury at an affordable price and sustainable development, ensuring an experience of living in an untouched natural environment without giving up modern conveniences.

Many investors have trusted Marek Zmysłowski’s vision, including: Artur Kurasiński, Anna Zielińska, Przemek Budnicki, Lukas S. Zgiep, Wojciech Jeznach, Jakub Karliński, Pointer.Capital.

Additionally, the loan project for the construction of Nomad City has undergone a positive assessment in the Crowder.pro scoring system, receiving the highest possible rating of A.

    What will happen if the borrower does not repay the loan?
    Crowder.PRO works with the developer to ensure that each loan is repaid on time. We select for you those projects that are relatively the safest, and our three-tier security system was designed precisely for such a circumstance (more about the security system at https://www.crowder.pro/bezpieczenstwo). Loans are always well secured - above the value of the investment - and in the event of a forced sale on the market, a price reduction ensures the recovery of the loan amount. Therefore, for each loan, a Security Administrator is appointed, who looks after the interests of the lenders and always acts on their behalf – in the event of non-repayment of the loan - even after extending the repayment deadline – the Security Administrator initiates security execution procedures. In the case of the loan for Nomad City, the Security Administrator is the reputable law firm of Łukasz Zalewski.
    Is the loan for Nomad City guaranteed?
    No, the repayment of the loan is not guaranteed either by the Crowder.PRO platform operator or by the Borrower. However, each loan is covered by a three-tier security system, consisting of several legal instruments. Additionally, Samana Group, along with its founders and partners, is one of the largest developers and landowners on the Dominican peninsula of Samana. The company owns 4000 hectares of land, building luxury villa estates, hotels, hostels, and apartments on them, of which 6 properties are already operational, which you can read about on the page: https://samana-group.net/pl/completed-projects.

    The plot itself allocated for the construction of Nomad City is 5000 m², worth over 1.3 million PLN, which is owned by the company, providing significant security for the investment.
    Who is the operator of the platform?
    The operator of the Crowder.PRO platform is Crowder SA, based in Białystok. The company is formed by a team with extensive experience and knowledge in financing real estate market projects (more about the team at https://www.crowder.pro/o-nas/zarzad).
