What Lilo does

Lilo Homes Limited, founded in London in 2022, operates a direct-to-consumer platform for fractional ownership of premium European residential real estate. The company's first product is the Barcelona Collection — three curated properties in Barcelona's Eixample district (Gràcia I at €396K, Gràcia II at €195K, and the Onda Penthouse at €173K, per 1/8 share) — sold as one-eighth co-ownership shares that confer 45 days of annual usage rights, with each investor permitted to buy up to four shares per property (i.e., up to 180 days of access). The underlying technology stack is modest: a Webflow-hosted consumer website, a companion mobile application for stay scheduling, and standard marketing tooling (MailChimp, HubSpot, Google Analytics, Cookiebot); no proprietary AI, data assets, or platform APIs are disclosed. Revenue is generated transactionally through property share sales with no publicly disclosed recurring management or subscription fees, targeting high-net-worth individual investors who want premium property exposure without full-purchase capital outlay, legal complexity, or management burden. The company is privately held, employs 1–10 staff, is co-led by Emily Chan (CEO, ex-Goldman Sachs / Apollo Global Management real-estate private equity) and Christopher Lass (ex-Stripe / Deutsche Bank compliance engineering), and raised a $3.0M seed round in July 2022 from 468 Capital, MPGI, and Presight Capital. The stated strategic intent is to expand the curated property model to additional cities globally, though today the entire deployed inventory sits in a single Barcelona district.

Lilo operates an invest-and-experience platform that sells fractional one-eighth (1/8) shares in curated premium residential properties. Each share grants the buyer 45 days of annual stay access, legal co-ownership (up to eight co-owners per property, maximum four shares per investor), and the ability to capture value appreciation on resale. The company handles property sourcing, legal share transfer, ongoing maintenance, decor, and property management. The inaugural Barcelona Collection features three properties in Barcelona's Eixample district.

The core offering consists of the Lilo Collection Platform, which enables users to invest in curated premium properties, and the Barcelona Collection, their first property portfolio featuring two curated objects in Barcelona's Eixample district. The platform provides a mobile app for exclusive property usage scheduling (45 days per year for a 1/8 share), handles property management and maintenance, and facilitates co-owner share trading.

Direct peers

• Pacaso: US-headquartered co-ownership platform that sells fractional shares of luxury single-family homes with managed usage and resale. Operates the same invest-and-experience model Lilo targets, but at much larger scale and across US markets.
• Kocomo: European fractional home ownership platform that absorbed August in 2022, offering co-ownership of premium European second homes with professional management. Closest direct competitor to Lilo in geography and product.

Broad incumbents

• Blueground: Operator of a global network of furnished, flexible-stay apartments serving professionals and relocating executives. Competes with Lilo on the premium long-/short-stay experience layer, but does not offer fractional ownership.
• Vacasa: Large-scale North American vacation rental management and booking company. Relevant benchmark for Lilo's property management operations and the experience layer attached to co-owned properties.
• Engel & Völkers: Global luxury residential real estate brokerage with strong presence across European prime markets. Competes with Lilo for the same HNW real estate spend on the acquisition side, even though it sells whole properties rather than fractional shares.
• Sotheby's International Realty: Global luxury real estate brokerage affiliated with the Sotheby's auction brand. Targets the same ultra-high-net-worth buyer pool that Lilo serves and competes for premium listing inventory in Barcelona and other European cities.
• Knight Frank: London-headquartered global real estate consultancy and luxury brokerage with a strong prime-residential book across Europe. Comparable to Lilo in London-anchored brand and European HNW client base, though focused on whole-property sales and advisory.
• Christie's International Real Estate: Affiliated luxury real estate network leveraging the Christie's auction brand. Competes for the same affluent buyer attention and premium European listings that Lilo needs to source its fractional inventory.
• Airbnb: Global short-term rental marketplace with Airbnb Luxe as a high-end tier. Represents the broad-stay alternative against which Lilo's premium-stay component is benchmarked, even though Airbnb does not offer fractional ownership.

Emerging players

• Plum Guide: Curated luxury vacation rental platform with a vetted inventory of high-end homes. Overlaps with Lilo on the curated-stay component and similar HNW customer profile, though without an ownership or investment product.
