Why we invested in Vivla — from Samaipata

Vivla is on a mission to ease access to fractional ownership of luxury properties — lowering barriers to entry, freeing up wealth and generating liquidity and flexibility in a huge market that has historically been reserved for the few.

Samaipata, one of Europe's most active early-stage venture capital firms, has been backing Vivla since the beginning. They led our pre-seed round in 2022 and reinforced their conviction by leading our €8M equity round in 2025. In this post we share the reflections from their team on why they keep believing in the fractional ownership thesis — and in the team building Vivla.

Three years after the initial investment, Vivla has delivered on every front. The company has scaled to over €80 million in assets under management, built a curated portfolio of 60+ premium properties across Spain's top second-home destinations, and grown to a community of more than 350 owner families with a satisfaction rate above 90%. All of this with remarkable capital efficiency.

Volume is translating into compounding scale advantages. Cost of financing has dropped, customer acquisition is increasingly predictable, and the P&L shows clear signs of expanding margins as scale builds. "Member gets member" has become Vivla's most valuable acquisition channel — the strongest signal a category-defining brand can give.

The €8M equity round closed in 2025 — followed by €55M in debt funding from Fasanara Capital and Extension Fund — gives Vivla the capacity to acquire over €200M of homes per year and accelerate the expansion into Madrid, Mallorca, Costa del Sol and Portugal, with a clear roadmap toward more than 750 assets and 5,000 co-owners globally by 2030.
