Decoding distressed property markets

Every system has a story. Here’s ours.

VendueTech didn’t start with a pitch deck. It started with a problem.

The beginning

Our CEO, Ivan Livić, was trying to buy a property for his family back home in Croatia while working in Singapore. What should’ve taken weeks dragged into months. Auctions were scattered. Legal steps buried in PDFs. No transparency, no standard process, just bureaucracy that made action near-impossible.

“It took me 15 steps and almost a year to close one deal. That’s when I realised: this system isn’t broken. It was never built for us.” , Ivan Livić
So, he teamed up with childhood friend and fellow engineer Marin Mastilica. Together, they started mapping what was missing, court data, legal logic, advisor access, and built the tool they wished existed.

That tool became VendueTech Bidsale. Not a portal. A backbone.

To simplify, standardize, and accelerate how distressed real estate is accessed and transacted, by connecting fragmented legal systems, structuring opaque data, and enabling intelligent action at scale

The mission

We’re not here to sell listings. We’re building the infrastructure that makes distressed markets finally work.

VendueTech is remote-first, law-informed, and designed for cross-border scale

The reach

Our platform, Bidsale, is already parsing tens of thousands of auction records across Europe, starting in Croatia and now live across Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Italy, Ireland, LAativia & Australia jurisdictions.

But the system we’re building was never meant to stop at borders. What works in Italy needs to work in Spain, in Greece, in France. And it does.

Why us?
Because no one else wanted to fix it

Distressed real estate is one of the last untouched domains, locked behind outdated systems, unreadable court data, and jurisdictional traps that scare away smart capital.

We don’t avoid that mess. We decode it.
We turn legal filings, advisory friction, and cross-border complexity into legible, investable infrastructure.

“We’re not building a marketplace. We’re building the pipes.”

COO & Co-founder

Our values

THE culture

This set of principles guides how we work and make decisions at VendueTech. 

  • Clarity over complexity

    We don’t decorate dysfunction. We restructure it.

    01
  • Systemic thinking

    Every legal rule, every data set, every investor decision is part of a system. We design accordingly.

    02
  • Trusted by design

    When users risk six or seven figures, trust isn’t a feature, it’s the product.

    03
  • Ownership over oversight

    We’re a collective. Everyone has context. Everyone ships with intent.

    04
  • Human, always

    We build with legal code and AI, but for real people, doing real deals, in real markets.

    05

An A-Team
built for this

Who we are

We’re engineers, legal strategists, data scientists, product designers, and operators. Distributed across 15+ countries, united by one shared compass: make the unreadable readable.

You’ll find us decoding auctions from Lisbon, reviewing court files in Belgrade, or debugging scrapers in Zagreb. Wherever complexity lives, we meet it, on our terms.
