Stake Raises $31M to Boost Digital Real Estate Investment
Dubai, UAE – Stake, the region’s leading digital real estate investment platform, announced the successful close of its oversubscribed Series B funding round, raising $31 million. The round was led by Emirates NBD, with additional participation from Mubadala’s MENA Venture Capital Fund, Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), Property Finder, STV NICE, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, and Ellington Properties. With this funding, Stake’s total capital raised to date reaches $58 million, cementing its position as one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the Middle East.
Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, stated: “This round is more than capital. It validates a mission we have dedicated our lives to. Having institutions such as Emirates NBD, Mubadala, Property Finder, MEVP, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, STV, and Ellington Properties join us demonstrates that the region believes in ambitious ideas and the power of technology to transform industries.”
Manar Mahmassani, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, added: “Saudi Arabia represents a strategic growth market for us. This funding enables us to deepen our local capabilities and expand our CMA-regulated offering to meet growing demand from regional and international investors. We are committed to channeling capital into high-quality opportunities while supporting the Kingdom’s goal of broadening foreign investment.”
The investment marks a major milestone in Stake’s strategy to expand digital real estate investment and provide global investors with access to high-potential property opportunities in fast-growing markets. Beyond the GCC, Stake is advancing its international strategy by entering the US industrial real estate market, offering exposure to resilient, income-generating assets. The company also launched StakeOne, a digital investment product that provides full property ownership and after-sales management, partnering with top developers including Emaar, Ellington Properties, and Dubai Holding.
Stake is also pioneering regulated real estate tokenization in collaboration with Property Finder, having received In-Principle Approval (IPA) from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). This initiative aims to enhance liquidity, transparency, and flexibility in real estate ownership by enabling fractional, tradeable access to high-demand assets.
Ali Eid AlMheiri, Executive Director at Mubadala, commented: “Our investment in Stake aligns with our commitment to support innovative platforms with high growth potential across the MENA region.”
Joseph Thomas, Co-Founder of Ellington Properties, added: “Stake is redefining real estate ownership through a regulated, technology-led model that broadens access and elevates the investment experience.”
Stake continues to achieve strong growth, reporting a GMV CAGR of over 130% and revenue CAGR of over 100% in the last three years. The platform now serves over 2 million users from 211 nationalities across 181 countries, demonstrating global investor confidence.
