Colombian proptech startup Koggi has expanded into Mexico through the acquisition of Alohome, a digital platform founded in 2020 that has transformed the sales process for new housing in the country. This strategic move strengthens Koggi’s vision of creating a unified ecosystem that integrates mortgage financing, construction, and home buying across Latin America.
Koggi, co-founded by Juan Díaz and Johanna Carolina Cárdenas Rodríguez, has been at the forefront of digitizing mortgage processes in Colombia. The platform connects banks, developers, and homebuyers, offering a faster and more transparent experience. With a strong presence in its home market, the company is now bringing its expertise to Mexico, one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the region.
The acquisition of Alohome represents a major step in Koggi’s regional growth strategy. The Mexican platform has managed real estate transactions worth hundreds of millions of dollars and provides powerful tools for inventory management and customer relationship management aimed at developers.
For Alohome founders Eduardo Orozco and Michael Meo, joining forces with Koggi represents a natural continuation of their mission to modernize the home-buying experience across the region. “When we launched Alohome, we envisioned reinventing the home-buying experience in Latin America,” explained Michael Meo. “Financing is a fundamental part of that process, and Koggi is the leader.”
This acquisition highlights a new phase of maturity in the Latin American proptech ecosystem, as startups pursue consolidation and regional expansion to strengthen their competitiveness. For Koggi, Mexico is a strategic market thanks to its scale and vibrant real estate activity, opening a new chapter in the company’s growth journey.
