ABOUT US

FOUNDER STORY

We founded MASE Home in October 2023, inspired by our experience of living in cramped conditions during the COVID-19 lockdown in Milan in 2021. That challenging time highlighted the pressing need for innovative solutions to urban housing. Driven by a determination to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our generation—housing affordability—we are on a mission to transform urban living through cutting-edge robotics and AI technology.

Our vision is to create smarter, more adaptable living spaces that enhance comfort and accessibility for everyone. In September 2023, we made the life-changing decision to leave our corporate jobs behind and dedicate ourselves fully to this mission, bootstrapping MASE Home for the first six months.
