Ancana

YCombinator

Marketplace for vacation home co-ownership, fully managed

Ancana is a marketplace for fully managed, co-owned vacation homes. Owners buy a real share of a property alongside a small group of vetted co-owners, each with guaranteed usage time every year. Unused weeks can be rented out or swapped for stays at other Ancana properties, so the ownership stays useful even as plans change. Ancana handles everything behind the purchase — setting up the ownership structure, vetting and matching co-owners, and managing the transaction — then runs the property year-round, from furnishing to bookings and maintenance. We operate in Mexico, the US, and Spain, each with different legal and regulatory requirements for ownership, and solving that structuring problem market by market is what makes the model hold up as we expand.

Payments for Marketplaces

Payments for Marketplaces. We're obsessed with all forms of infrastructure, including communications, transportation, energy, waste management, and payments. Robust infrastructure creates a happier, more productive, and more prosperous society. You know exactly what I mean if you've traveled somewhere where you struggled to find a reliable Internet connect or even usable roads. You also know what I mean when you sit in traffic or struggle with public transportation (or lack thereof) in the US. Balanced was created to increase the global economy (increase GDP) by enabling new commerce. Our mechanism or facility to do that is payments. Everything else we do depends on how it fits into the vision for Balanced.

Managed marketplace for automotive services.

Taking care of your car doesn’t need to be a painful or archaic experience. CarDash picks up your car from home or work, oversees the work, and returns your car to you. We also offer upfront and transparent pricing and serve as your advocate so you are never overcharged. We are on the verge of a major transformation in our relationship with the automobile. Connected cars, self-driving cars, mainstream electric vehicles, and new economic models of car ownership are all coming within the next decade. These could bring about a transportation revolution as disruptive as the adoption of the automobile itself. We don’t know how or when these changes will unfold, nor do we know which technologies will triumph. We do however know that all cars on the road will need to be serviced, regardless of who owns them, who drives them, or what powers them. By leveraging technology, logistical efficiency, and above all — superior service, CarDash aspires to become the service platform for the automotive industry of tomorrow.
