Want more? You can buy more shares! You own the asset, not a block of time. Flyway deals with all the hassle of ownership, so that you simply land and enjoy your city getaway.HOW WE DO IT BEHIND THE SCENESWe identify top-notch properties, in top locations that we can supercharge with smart features. We then set up an LTD (Limited Liability Company) that acquires the property. That LTD is split into 12 equal shares, and each share costs 1/12 of the total house price. A buyer can buy up to half of the property (6 shares). WHAT YOU GETYou get ownership of a second home suited to your budget and needs. Whether you use it for leisure, work or you simply believe in the property’s potential as an investment, you have the rights to the asset. You can use and resell your share when you want. Meanwhile, you get to enjoy upscale, smart living in very prime properties, downtown, without any of the headaches of maintenance, cleaning and bill handling.

Ourview of "efficiency" is complete: we look at both the waste of resources along the production and distribution chain of products and services (which generate unnecessarily high prices for the final consumer), and the waste of resources and time that end consumers spend to find, buy and enjoy these products and services. Our mission is to build a more efficient world in this direction. A world where people lose less money and time with monotonous, routine, everyday, unnecessary activities. We want to build such a world using innovative technology and business models, always with highly qualified and committed people on the team. Our first challenge is to improve the efficiency of the distribution chain and supply of essential consumer products: cleaning products, personal hygiene and non-perishable food. We do this through our online platform for monthly sales and deliveries of grocery products. Our recurrence model allows us to have no inventory and have high predictability of demand, generating efficiency, which is passed on to consumers in the form of lower prices (~10% cheaper).
