Stake, a digital real estate investment platform, has raised $31 million in an oversubscribed Series B funding round. The round was led by Emirates NBD, a major banking group in the MENAT region.
Other investors in the round include MENA Venture Capital Fund at Mubadala Investment Company, Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), Property Finder, STV NICE, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, and Ellington Properties.
This investment is an important step for Stake as it continues to grow as a regulated fintech platform. The company is changing how people access, own, and invest in real estate across different countries.
With this latest round, Stake’s total funding has reached $58 million. This strengthens its position as one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the Middle East.
Neeraj Makin, Group Head – Strategy, Analytics and Venture Capital at Emirates NBD said, “Real estate remains a foundational component of global investment portfolios, yet there is an opportunity to improve how many investors access and gain transparency into these assets. Stake’s technology and regulatory infrastructure are built to streamline these processes and make sophisticated real estate investment more approachable. Our strategic investment in Stake represents a significant step in expanding our digital investment capabilities, directly aligning with our ambition to be a digital leader in the region. Through our Innovation Fund, we are committed to making such strategic investments and fostering a culture of innovation. We recognise the growing demand for accessible real estate investment opportunities, and Stake’s platform provides a robust, compliant, and scalable solution that we are proud to support.”
“This round is more than capital. It is validation of a mission we have poured our lives into. To have institutions like Emirates NBD, Mubadala, Property Finder, MEVP, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, STV and Ellington Properties join us is a reminder that our region believes in ambitious ideas and in the power of technology to transform industries. Together, we are building the infrastructure for a new era of real estate ownership, one where borders do not limit opportunity and where every person, regardless of background, can participate in real estate wealth creation. This is just the beginning of what Stake will unlock,” said Rami Tabbara, co-founder and co-CEO of Stake.
“Saudi Arabia is a strategic growth market for us, and this round allows us to deepen our investment in the Kingdom by expanding our local capabilities and scaling our CMA-regulated offering to meet growing demand from both regional and international investors. We are committed to being a long-term partner to the market, helping channel capital into high-quality opportunities while supporting the Kingdom’s ambition to broaden foreign investment to the masses.” said Manar Mahmassani, co-founder and co-CEO of Stake.
Founded in 2021 by Manar Mahmassani, Rami Tabbara, and Ricardo Brizido, Stake allows users to invest in fractional property ownership and private real estate funds starting from just AED 500.
The company plans to use the new funding to expand its regulated services in Saudi Arabia and grow its cross-border investment model.
Stake will also work on tokenisation projects in partnership with Property Finder and expand new products such as StakeOne.
