One year ago, Homepay was just an idea.
An idea born from a simple observation: payments in real estate, the largest asset class in the world, were still managed with tools and processes that hadn’t evolved alongside the industry itself. What started as a question quickly became a vision. Over the past twelve months, that vision has taken shape and turned into something tangible.
This first year has been about building strong foundations. We refined the initial concept through countless conversations, assembled an exceptional core team, gained the trust and support of our first investors, and partnered with industry leaders who helped shape both our solution and our ambition. Step by step, Homepay evolved from a blank page into a ready-to-go fintech solution, the first of its kind for the real estate market, designed to change how payments are managed across the industry.
Looking back, each month marked a meaningful milestone in our journey:
January marked the beginning of our team, with the first hires joining Homepay: Fede and Christian.
February was dedicated to listening, with dozens of interviews with real estate professionals to validate — and at times completely rethink — our MVP.
March brought our first company retreat, where we aligned on vision, strategy, and the road ahead.
April was a turning point, with the first real run of the MVP and the signing of our partnership with Treezor.
May and June saw Homepay step into the spotlight, as we participated in the Gestim roadshow and made our first public presentations to more than 1,000 real estate agents.
July marked the onboarding of our first beta partners, bringing real users into the product for the first time.
October delivered a major moment of external validation, as Homepay won the Property Portal Watch Pitch Club competition in Madrid, gaining recognition from a highly valuable audience of international proptech leaders.
November saw the collaboration with Sinergie for the publication of our white paper on payments in the real estate sector.
December closed the year with strong momentum, as we signed our first partnerships with important real estate networks, laying the groundwork for real adoption and scale.
These milestones represent more than progress on a roadmap. They reflect learning, iteration, and the shared belief that the real estate industry deserves better financial infrastructure.
Along this journey, we also learned how fintech regulation adds an extra layer of complexity to building a new venture. Operating in a highly regulated environment requires time, discipline, and structural decisions from the very early stages. At the same time, this process allowed us to approach the market with a more mature setup: clear processes, trusted partnerships, and a solution designed to operate from day one according to the highest standards. It is a demanding path, but a necessary one to build long-term trust and solid foundations.
The year ahead will be about the market. 2026 will show us how the industry responds to our innovation, how Homepay fits into real workflows, and how much impact we can truly make. We know we will learn a great deal from every exchange, every integration, and every customer using Homepay day after day.
We are entering this next phase with curiosity, ambition, and clarity. We know what we are building, we know why it matters, and we believe deeply in what Homepay can achieve for the real estate market.
The foundations are set. Now it’s time to build on them.
