Why Livia exists

Italians have put everything into their homes: the savings of two generations, their identity, their children's future. No country loves the home more. And no country administers it worse.

Most of us live in a condominium. You can track a €10 pizza in real time on your phone, but your building's €200,000 budget disappears once a year into an unreadable PDF. You call, and nobody answers. The leak becomes a stain, and the stain becomes a dispute. In the end, nobody is accountable.

The real monopolist in this market isn't any administrator. It's resignation: tanto è così. Livia exists to revoke this mandate.

What we're building

Livia is building the operating system for residential living, and we are running it ourselves.

We don't sell software to administrators. We are the administrator, and we build the technology that powers us from the ground up. That lets us make promises no one else in the market makes: every euro visible in real time, no kickbacks from contractors, an answer within one hour on emergencies, and a full refund if a building isn't satisfied in the first year.

Underneath, we're building something harder to see: the deepest context layer on Italian buildings. Every repair request, contractor job, assembly decision, and resident conversation becomes structured knowledge. The better the context, the better the AI; the better the AI, the more buildings run proactively rather than reactively. That compounding context is our moat.

But property management is a trust business, and AI can't take responsibility. So our administrators become what they should always have been: dedicated people who know their buildings, run assemblies well, and put their name on every decision, while software handles the groundwork.

We're backed by Italian Founders Fund, Vento, 2100, and leading Italian families and angels. The market has thousands of fragmented firms and no reference company yet. We intend to become the alternative and fix the world's oldest asset class.

Why M&A is at the heart of Livia

Condominium administration in Italy is one of the most fragmented service markets in Europe. Thousands of firms, most of them run by a single administrator, many of whom are approaching retirement with no successor, no exit, and a lifetime of relationships they don't want to abandon.

That's our opportunity and our responsibility. We grow by integrating these firms: welcoming their teams, honouring the trust they've built with their buildings, and giving them the processes and technology to
