Casum
Casum was a Barcelona-based proptech startup (launched 2020 within Nuclio Venture Builder) that let people without mortgage access buy a home gradually: the buyer purchases a minimum 5% stake while a network investor buys the rest, and the buyer pays below-market rent on the unowned portion while buying more equity over up to 7 years until qualifying for a mortgage. The company generated little revenue and accumulated ~€400K in losses over three years, and filed for bankruptcy/dissolution in March 2024, so it is no longer operating.
