Holo, a UAE-based fintech platform that is changing the way people buy homes, has raised $22 million in its Series A funding round. This is one of the largest Series A rounds in the GCC in 2025.
The funding was led by Saudi Arabia’s Impact46, with support from Mubadala Investment Company (Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund). Other investors included Rua Growth Fund, anb seed, MoreThan Capital, along with existing backers Salica Oryx Fund and Dubai Future District Fund.
The UAE is leading the region in urban innovation and setting new standards in the housing market. The country’s property market is expected to grow from $143 billion in 2025 to $217 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 8.66%.
National initiatives like Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan, Abu Dhabi’s smart city strategy, and blockchain-based land registry programs are driving this growth and making real estate services more tech-driven and modern.
Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in proptech and housing reforms, and Holo is ready to meet the rising demand for tech-driven homeownership. The Kingdom’s housing market is valued at $203 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to $310 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 8.77%. The country’s large population is driving this growth, more people taking mortgages, and housing initiatives under Saudi Vision 2030, along with projects like Riyadh Digital City and the national push for digital transformation.
Michael Hunter & Arran Summerhill, Co-Founders of Holo, stated, “At Holo, we’ve always believed that buying a home shouldn’t be complicated. With this raise, we’re not only scaling across borders but also scaling trust, simplicity, and access to homeownership. Our profitability in the UAE has given us the strength and confidence to invest ambitiously in high-growth markets like Saudi Arabia. The momentum around homeownership and digital transformation is only accelerating as the Kingdom inches closer to achieving Vision 2030. The vision is regional, and with backing from world-class investors, we’re in a prime position to keep raising the bar for how home-buying should work—faster, smarter, and built around the customer. With a mindset around technology being the engine behind everything we do, this has been the driving force behind our vision as we’ve remained focused on building a platform that eliminates the stress, confusion and guesswork of home-buying.”
The funding will also help Holo grow its team, invest in new products, and hire top talent across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As the region continues to adopt digital solutions, Holo is leading the way by combining fintech innovation with real-world impact.
Backed by investors such as Impact46, Mubadala, and Dubai Future District Fund, Holo is strengthening its position as one of the Middle East’s most important fintech and proptech companies, highlighting the region’s fast-changing real estate landscape.
Basmah AlSinaidi, Managing Partner at Impact46, commented, “Holo is bringing much-needed clarity to a process that’s long been opaque. By streamlining access to lenders and giving users full control of their home financing journey, they’re reshaping how people buy homes across the region. Their expansion into Saudi reflects a bigger shift in consumer expectations — and the rising demand for seamless, tech-driven ownership experiences. As lead investors, this partnership aligns deeply with our thesis: backing real solutions, built by sharp founders, for markets that are moving fast.”
Ali Al Mheiri, Executive Director of UAE Diversified Assets at Mubadala’s UAE Investments Platform, commented, “Our investment in Holo comes from our belief in the strength of its vision, leadership, and ability to reshape how people navigate the home-buying journey. It also reflects our confidence in the UAE’s strong and resilient real estate market and the growing role of fintech in shaping the future of property ownership across the region. At Mubadala, we are committed to backing innovative platforms that align with our mandate to deliver economic diversification. This partnership is a strong example of how collaboration can accelerate the UAE’s economic transformation and unlock real value for communities through technology-driven solutions.”
Turki Aljoaib, Managing Partner, Rua Growth Fund, stated: “Holo is tackling a critical market need by digitising and democratising access to mortgages, especially as Saudi Arabia opens its real estate market to foreign investors and first-time homeowners. With a platform built on trust, simplicity, and regulatory alignment Holo is uniquely positioned to serve a new wave of buyers navigating the Kingdom’s evolving property landscape. We’re proud to back a team building the fintech infrastructure for a more inclusive and accessible future of homeownership in the region.”
As Holo begins its next phase of growth, it is staying true to its main mission — making homeownership easier, smarter, and more accessible for everyone. With a strong team and support from top regional investors, Holo is well-placed to lead the transformation of property ownership across the MENA region.
