Lovix Real Estates Joins FasterCapital EquityPilot to Scale Mixed‑Use Developments in Kampala
Kampala, Uganda & Dubai, UAE - Oct 17, 2025
Lovix Real Estate Company Limited and FasterCapital today announced a strategic partnership through FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program to accelerate Lovix’s mixed‑use development and proptech services across Kampala, combining local execution with EquityPilot capital, mentorship and global go‑to‑market resources.
Market opportunity & problem statement
Kampala is experiencing rapidly rising demand for well‑designed residential and commercial space driven by urbanization, a growing middle class and expanding business activity. Market inefficiencies—fragmented brokerage, limited value‑added development capacity and shortages in quality mixed‑use stock—leave renters, buyers and investors underserved. Lovix targets this white space with focused mixed‑use projects in central, transition and expansion zones, addressing supply shortfalls while creating scalable investment-grade assets.
Startup solution & differentiation
Lovix Real Estates, led by founder Kasajja Samuel, is developing a portfolio of mixed‑use typologies—retail, mall, serviced rooms and residential apartments—designed for sale and long‑term lease. Operating from a strategic office in Wadegeya (Hajji Arched Building), Lovix combines in‑house brokerage, property management and construction know‑how to shorten delivery cycles and raise tenant yields. The company’s value proposition is low‑cost, quality construction, a turnkey agent support model and a pipeline approach to asset conversion (single‑family to multi‑unit where feasible). Lovix is now seeking $500,000 USD seed capital to fund initial acquisitions, renovations and pre‑construction works that validate the model and unlock recurring rental income.
FasterCapital partnership value
Through the EquityPilot program, FasterCapital will provide Lovix with capital advisory, mentorship, product and go‑to‑market strategy, access to international investor networks and technical support to strengthen governance and financial modeling. FasterCapital’s selective process and global track record validate Lovix’s market fit and execution plan; the partnership is structured to accelerate Lovix’s first development rounds and to prepare the company for follow‑on institutional funding within 12–18 months.
Executive quotes
Hesham Zreik, Managing Partner, FasterCapital: “We selected Lovix for EquityPilot because it addresses a clear urban gap with a pragmatic, capital‑efficient approach. Lovix’s combined brokerage, construction and asset management model is engineered for scalable returns in Kampala and similar East African markets. EquityPilot will provide the tools and investor access to de‑risk early development and accelerate market leadership.”
Kasajja Samuel, Founder & CEO, Lovix Real Estates: “This partnership validates our strategy to deliver quality mixed‑use spaces where demand is highest. FasterCapital’s mentorship and global investor reach will fast‑track our $500k raise and enable us to deliver projects that raise urban living standards while generating predictable rental income for investors.”
Growth trajectory & next steps
Near‑term milestones include closing the $500,000 seed round, completing two proof‑of‑concept refurbishments, and breaking ground on a mixed‑use pilot within 9–12 months. Lovix plans to scale across Kampala’s primary corridors and position for a Series A round within 12–18 months to expand to additional cities in Uganda. The partnership focuses on governance, cost control, tenant programming and digital marketing to shorten leasing cycles and optimize yields.
