Lo que hace Ancana

With Ancana, you can own a 1/4 or 1/8 share of the home and split expenses with the other co-owners. If you buy a 1/4 share of a home, you have access to it for 3 months of the year. For each property we set up the investment trust, find qualified co-owners, and handle the entire real estate purchase transaction. Costs are split amongst the co-owners, and we take care of the furnishing and ongoing property management. We accomplish this by creating an investment trust for each property and dividing it into individual, purchasable shares that represent ownership in the property. We furnish each home and find and vet the co-owners. Once all of the shares of the property are sold, we retain no ownership stake in the property and transition into the role of property manager, ensuring the home is well maintained and handling any issues that arise. Unlike a timeshare, Ancana owners own a real asset (the property) versus a block of time. If you decide you want to sell your share, you are free to do so at any time, either through us or on the open market, and capture any appreciation the property has accrued.

Marketplace for managed fractional vacation homes

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a marketplace where people can buy fractional ownership shares in vacation homes. Each property is placed into an investment trust divided into shares representing actual ownership. Buyers split costs and get months of use proportional to their share. We also handle the purchase, co-owner vetting, furnishing, and ongoing property management. Unlike timeshares, owners hold a real asset they can sell anytime.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Mérida, Yuc., Mexico, and are currently remote. After YC, we would remain based here but with a remote-first team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Mérida because it offers a strong position in the vacation home market in Mexico and access to properties our customers want. Being remote allows us to tap talent elsewhere and serve co-owners globally.
