Descriptiontext

Gecon Gestão de Condomínios e Franchising is a Brazilian condominium management franchise company founded in 2006/2007 by condominium-law lawyers Daniel Lini Perpétuo (CEO) and Thatiane Lamonica Tochete. Headquartered in Bauru with a regional office in Vila Olímpia, São Paulo, the company operates a franchise network of 100+ franchisees across 21 Brazilian states, collectively managing 1,000+ residential, commercial, industrial, and logistics condominiums serving over 100,000 residents.

The company's core offering is an integrated condominium administration platform that consolidates functions traditionally fragmented across 6-8 separate vendors: accounting, HR and payroll, legal compliance oversight, financial control, staff training, labor outsourcing, virtual doorman (Portaria Virtual), and transparent real-time financial reporting via a mirrored bank account architecture. The technology stack includes a proprietary cloud-based management system, a resident-facing mobile application (Aplicativo Gecon) supporting common-area reservations, virtual assembly voting, access control, and digital document access, plus a convenience marketplace (Conveniência) integrating 80+ national brands with cashback returning to managed condominiums. In 2024, Gecon launched Gecon Bank Digital, a proprietary digital bank exclusively for managed condominiums and their residents, offering zero-fee boleto issuance, Pix transfers, prepaid credit cards, and financing.

Gecon's business model combines three revenue streams: franchise fees and royalties from 100+ franchisees, recurring condominium management service fees across 1,000+ properties, and transaction-based revenue from Gecon Bank Digital. The company differentiates through proprietary technology, a national franchise distribution network, CONASI "Destaque Nacional" industry recognition, and affiliations with ABF and SECOVI. No external institutional investment is evident; the company is founder-led and privately held.
