About us
OUR STORY
We founded MASE Home in October 2023, inspired by our personal experience of living in cramped conditions during the COVID-19 lockdown in Milan in 2021. Determined to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our generation—housing affordability—we are on a mission to revolutionize urban living through cutting-edge robotics and AI technology. Our goal is to create smarter, more adaptable living spaces that enhance comfort and accessibility for everyone. In September 2023, we left our corporate jobs behind and jumped in with both feet, bootstrapping MASE Home for the first six months.
