EU-Startups Podcast | Episode 129: Nikolaus Thomale, Founder & Managing Director of MYNE Homes

In this episode of the EU-Startups Podcast, we sat down with Nikolaus Thomale, Founder & Managing Director of MYNE Homes, a company building Europe’s leading co-ownership platform for vacation properties, making it easier and more affordable for people to buy, enjoy, and sell luxury holiday homes through a fully managed and flexible shared ownership model.

While more than 20 million vacation homes across Europe sit empty for most of the year, millions of people dream of owning a second home. MYNE was founded to bring together those homes and aspiring owners.

Today, we explore why traditional vacation home ownership is outdated and inefficient, how MYNE creates a seamless co-ownership experience across Europe, what sets MYNE apart from Airbnb, rentals, or timeshares, how luxury, flexibility, and sustainability can go hand in hand, and much more!
