Many of life’s biggest decisions involve assets: where to live, how to get around, what to buy and what to let go of. Often the hardest part isn’t the decision itself, but finding the right option and getting through the process.

Getting behind the wheel

Not everyone who needs a car needs to own one. RenHero is a vehicle rental platform built around convenient, flexible access to cars. It’s designed with room to grow into peer-to-peer rental and other mobility services over time.

Buying, selling and renting assets

Lamaniaga is an asset marketplace that brings buyers, sellers and renters together. It starts with property, one of the most important assets most people deal with, and is built so that categories such as vehicles and equipment can follow.

A good marketplace makes the next step obvious for both sides of a transaction.

What we focus on

  • Clear, honest listings and information.
  • Simple journeys from search to decision.
  • Room to expand carefully, one category at a time.
