Our Story: Redefining the Dream of Ownership
Transforming luxury asset ownership from an exclusive privilege to an accessible opportunity
Copay is a Brisbane‑founded proptech helping Australians co‑own premium holiday homes through deeded fractional ownership. Small groups buy real equity in specific coastal, hinterland and alpine properties, with Copay handling all management, scheduling and admin.
We exist so professionals can turn the holidays they already pay for into assets their families can keep.
From the Founders - Himanshu Arora & Mohamed Ismail
We moved to Australia looking for something simple: a better life. Over the last 25 years, we both watched the same paradox play out around us. Friends, colleagues and clients earning $200k, $300k, even $500k+ a year were still stuck making an impossible choice - buy one massive lifestyle asset they barely use or keep renting experiences that disappear the moment they’re paid for.
At the same time, we noticed something else - people didn’t actually want to choose, they wanted both. A beach home for summer, a motorhome for road trips and a boat for weekends. A lifestyle that felt rich and assets that actually were rich.
The barrier was never desire, it was structure. That led to a simple question, what if you didn’t have to pick between lifestyle and wealth? What if your lifestyle spend could become your wealth? Copay exists to answer that question.
We’re building a way for Australians to own a portfolio of premium lifestyle assets; holiday homes, motorhomes, boats in the way they already imagine living. Real ownership, through deeded shares in specific assets. Professional management, so you’re not dealing with cleaners, calendars or co owner politics. Wealth that compounds quietly in the background while you’re actually using what you own.
Your money stops disappearing into invoices. Your holidays stop vanishing the moment you check out. Your dreams stop feeling like they’re always “one day”. This isn’t about being clever with money for its own sake. It’s about having what you actually want and building something real that lasts for your family.
We’re Himanshu Arora and Mohamed Ismail, founders of Copay. We started Copay so Australians could stop just buying time, and start owning the lifestyle they’ve worked so hard to afford.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower people to live richer lives by providing a smarter, more accessible path to owning premium assets. We break down the barriers to entry, transforming a once-exclusive market into an opportunity for many. We believe true wealth isn't just about what you own, but the experiences you can create.
Our Vision
We envision a future where ownership is fluid, intelligent, and shared. A future where your investment portfolio includes not just stocks and bonds, but a share of a beach house in Byron Bay, a boat in the Whitsundays, and a luxury vehicle for special occasions. We aim to be Australia's most trusted platform for building a life rich with experiences, backed by real, tangible assets.
