Founders
are builders

Our role is to ensure the builders we back always have the kind of support we wish we had when we were building ourselves. We embrace the journey alongside them, step by step, brick by brick.

Santiago, Chile

Houm is an all-in-one, one-click solution that helps landlords find tenants and buyers. It begins by offering leasing solutions without the need of endorsements. While based in Chile, the company also operates in Colombia and Mexico.

Similar to Brazil, these countries present a compelling environment for the company to thrive for several reasons: i) a highly fragmented market with a high share of individual real estate ownership (no institutional rental market); ii) low mortgage and debt penetration; iii) no Multi Listing Services (MLS); and iv) a clear friction/red tape process for, on the one hand, individuals who want to rent apartments and need an underwriter for credit scoring and, on the other, landlords who must undergo the arduous processes of locating tenants and operationalizing rentals.

Investment philosophy

ONEVC is a seed-stage venture capital firm backing builders across Latin America. We've helped build companies ourselves and know firsthand the courage, ambition, and energy it takes to build something from scratch. That experience shapes how we invest and how we partner: our builders are the protagonists, and being invited along for their journey is a privilege we don't take lightly. Our job is to serve them and do whatever we can to make them succeed.
